INTERNAL BATTERY

The internal battery is small and only designed to provide enough power to securely save the last recording when power is disconnected and to retain date and time settings. The Dash Cam is designed to be connected to power at all times when operating. If the Dash Cam is not used for an extended period of time the battery may become completely discharged which will cause the time and date on the device to default to the factory settings. If this occurs please completely recharge the Dash Cam before use.

FORMATTING THE SD CARD

It is advisable to format the card weekly if you have the Gravity Sensing (Gsensor) setting turned on or create locked files. This will fill up the card causing it to stop recording any footage.

LOCKING VIDEO FOOTAGE

Whilst recording, press the lock icon on the Dash Cam screen to activate the lock footage function. A key icon will display on the screen. This will lock the file currently being recorded to prevent it from being recorded over. Press the lock icon again to unlock footage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: The adhesive mount will not stay attached to the windscreen
Solution:

• Ensure windscreen is clean and free of debris, use glass cleaner or an alcohol swab to clean.
• Ensure that the plastic film has been removed from the adhesive pad.
• When mounting hold the bracket firmly to the windscreen for at least 60 seconds.

Problem: The Dash Cam will not power on
Solution:

• Vehicle Accessory Socket – Check the vehicle accessory socket has power, simply plug another device and see if it powers up (or use a test light/multimeter to check for power).
• Dash Cam Power Cable – Check the fuse in the tip of the accessory plug, it may need to be replaced.
• Dash Cam – Connect the Dash Cam to a computer via the USB cable to see if it powers up.

Problem: The Dash Cam shuts down when connected to the vehicle and the battery will not charge
Solution:

• The battery will only charge while the vehicle is switched on.
• If the vehicle is not frequently used the Dash Cam battery will fully discharge and may need to be connected to a domestic USB charger (such as a smartphone charger) for approximately 3 hours to fully charge.

Problem: The Dash Cam battery only lasts for a few minutes when power is disconnected
Solution:

• This is normal. Batteries in Dash Cams only hold enough power to safely shut down the Dash Cam, securely save the last file when power is disconnected and retain settings.
• The Dash Cam is designed to be connected to power at all times while being used. 13

Problem: The time & date settings reset every time the Dash Cam is powered on

Solution:

• The time and date settings will reset when the Dash Cams battery is flat. Make sure the Dash Cam’s battery is fully charged in order to retain the time and date settings.

Solution:

• While the Dash Cam is recording the Settings Menu can not be accessed. Stop recording before pressing the Settings Menu button.

Problem: The Dash Cam screen turns off after a few minutes when the Dash Cam is powered on

Solution:

• Dash Cams have an automatic screen saver feature. This helps reduce heat in the Dash Cam and also makes the Dash Cam less distracting to the driver.
• If you prefer the screen remain on, this can be changed in the Dash Cam settings under “Screen Saver”.

Problem: The Dash Cam feels warm when it is operating

Solution:

• It is normal for the Dash Cam to feel warm to the touch during typical use, especially when it is recording HD video.

Problem: The Dash Cam stops automatically while recording Solution: Check to see whether there is enough space on the Micro SD card.

• Ensure correct Micro SD card is being used, 8-128Gb Class 10 or above Micro SDHC/XC is recommended. Other types of Micro SD cards may not be suitable for use in Dash Cams.
  If the correct Micro SD Card is being used, format the Micro SD Card in a computer.

• Micro SD cards have a limited lifespan and become corrupt after a period of time. This is due to the continuous loop recording function. If this has occurred, you will need to replace your Micro SD Card.

Problem: The Micro SD card is not recognized by the Dash Cam
Solution:

• Format the Micro SD card before using it. Be sure the Micro SD card is compatible with the device, see “Stops automatically while recording” fault.
