Z8 NIGHT Dash Cam

Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing the Xblitz Z8 NIGHT. The product you purchased is a dashboard camera used to record vehicle movement when driving.
Please read the user manual and use the product as intended.

BEFORE USE

It is recommended to use branded micro SD memory cards (8 to 32GB, class 10).
Before putting the memory card in the camera, format the card according to the computer FAT32 system and in the device system as well.
Insert the memory card in the camera only when it is turnedo. When installed or taken out while the camera is turned on, can cause damage to the card and the camera.
The camera has built-in capacitors and cannot operate without an external power supply.
When the memory card is full, the oldest, unprotected data will be overwritten by new video ﬁles.
Use the device as intended. Do not use the MOTION DETECTOR or PARKING MODE functions during driving – they can cause device malfunction when, for example, standing on the intersection.
It is recommended to use the G-SENSOR function on the lowest settings to prevent protecting unnecessary recordings. The protected recordings will not be overwritten by new data when the memory card is full.
The device is equipped with a condenser microphone which records background noises. The sounds can overlap and create distortions.
