2. To ensure smooth video recording, use a reputable Class 10 or higher speed memory card.

3. To avoid damaging the card, please do not remove or install the card while the camera is powered on.

4. Memory cards have a limited lifespan. After numerous data overwrites, they may become inoperable. When this occurs, kindly replace your memory card.

5. For consistent performance, it’s advisable to regularly format the memory card. We suggest doing this once a month.

Step 3:
Peel off one side of the 3M Adhesive Pad on the base of the camera and affix the base to the static sticker. When mounting the camera on the static stacker, ensure that the lens s positioned outside the area covered by the sticker to get a clear view.

Tips:

1. You can adjust the angle of the base to adjust the lens view.

2. To prevent your dash cam from being stolen while parked, you can easily remove it from the base. To remove it from the base clip, first disconnect the Type-C cable, then firmly press and hold the base while slowly sliding the dash cam upward with force.

Step 5:
