Do not remove or insert the memory card when recording. Doing so may cause the card to become damaged or cause data loss.

Windshield Suction Cup Mount

The included windshield mount is included for mounting your camcorder to your windshield. The mount can only be insert in one way. Simply attach the smaller plastic end of the mount to the top of your camcorder, and the suction cup side to the top of your windshield. Before applying to your windshield, make sure that your windshield is clean and free of any dirt or debris.

NOTE: If the suction cup loses its grip over time, thoroughly clean the clear suction are with soap and water. After cleaning, allow it to dry for 2 hours and reapply it to your windshield.

Mounting the Camcorder
The camcorder should be mounted on the windshield of your vehicle in a location where it does not interfere with your view through the windshield. The optimal location is to the right of or directly below the rearview mirror. When mounting the camcorder, make sure to run the power cable so that the cable does not interfere with your view through the windshield. See the diagram below. You can tuck the USB table into your car interior’s headliner and molding.

NOTE: Consult with local state laws in your area before installing your camcorder. Certain restrictions and limitations may apply to the placement of objects on the windshield of your vehicle.

Rear Camera Mounting
A certified professional should be used to install and ensure that the rear camera is installed properly.
The rear camera can be mounted in two different locations: (1) At the top of the rear windshield for an outward view of the road, or (2) at rear of your vehicle above the license plate for a reverse camera view.

The rear camera can also act as a reverse camera by wiring the rear camera to the reverse lights. Once wired, the rear camera will automatically activate when the car transmission is put in Reverse. Please see the diagram below on how the rear camera wires should be run in your vehicle.

1. Install on inside rear window
2. Install on car’s license plate

Please note, if you do not wish to wire your camera to the reverse lights, the rear camera will still operate normally but will not automatically activate unless done so manually by cycling through the camera views.

When mounting the rear camera, the camera should always be mounted with the metal bracket at the top, like below. If the metal bracket is on the bottom, the image will appear upside down when viewed on the camcorder.

There are three options you can use to mount the rear camera: (1) With double- sided tape, (2) with screws, or (3) using both double-sided tape and screws.

Before mounting the rear camera, connect it to the camcorder to check the view from your chosen mounting location. If the view is acceptable, you can proceed with mounting the rear camera. Makes sure that the mounting surface of the vehicle has been cleaned very well and is completely dry.

To use the double-sided tape, simply peel off the white paper one side and press that side firmly to the top of the metal bracket on the rear camera, like below. Then peel off the white paper on the other side and press the bracket firmly to the mounting surface.

To use screws, simply place the screws through the holes on the bottom of the metal bracket and use a Philips head screwdriver to fasten the screws.

To use both double-sided tape and screws, you first need to mount the camera using the double-sided tape, then place the screws. Before attaching the double-sided tape to the rear camera, use the tip of a screwdriver or a different pointed object, to pop out the screw holes in the double-sided tape.

Please note, screws should never be used when mounting the rear camera on glass.
