Installation guide

Set the power switch to the OFF position before installation.

Caution
Make sure to use the genuine power cables included in the package. Otherwise, it may result in product failure, overheating, ignition, etc.

For a plug-in installation using a cigarette lighter plug power cable:
a. Plug the cigarette lighter plug power cable into the Ultra Battery’s DC in port. Plug the other end of the power cable into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

b. Proceed to step 2.

or

For a hardwired installation using a hardwiring power cable:
a. Plug the hardwiring power cable into the Ultra Battery’s DC in port.

b. Referring to your vehicle Owner’s Manual, identify a Switched (accessory power) fuse of 10A or less in your interior fuse panel. Typical examples are the cigarette lighter and car stereo fuse slots.
Caution
If you connect the Ultra Battery to a Constant Power (BATT) fuse it may result in depletion of your vehicle’s battery.
c. Remove the identified Switched fuse and match its type with one of the 3 fuse taps.
d. Insert the ACC wire into the connector end of the fuse tap. Use a crimping tool or pliers to crimp the connector onto the wire.

e. Insert the fuse you removed from the fuse panel into the slot closest to the blades on the fuse tap.
Note
If the original fuse is a low-profile mini type, use the new 10A mini type fuse instead (included).
f. Insert a new 20A fuse into the slot furthest away from the fuse tap blades.

g. Insert the fuse tap into the empty Switched fuse slot in the fuse panel.
Caution
Refer to the diagram and insert the fuse tap in the correct orientation. In the correct orientation the new fuse (f.) gets power directly from the fuse slot without putting an additional load on the original fuse (e.). If you insert the fuse tap in the reversed orientation the additional load on the original fuse may cause it to blow.
h. Connect the ground wire (ring) to a ground point, such as a bolt, that is directly on a bare metal part of the vehicle’s frame. Secure the ground wire to the bare metal frame (for example by securing it under the bolt).

Plug the ‘Output cable’ into the port labeled Dashcam on the Ultra Battery.

Plug your dashcam’s power plug into the cigarette lighter socket or attach it to the hardwiring power cable on the Ultra Battery’s ‘Output cable.’

Note
To ensure good electrical contact you can use electrical tape to tape the plug and socket together.

Set the power switch to the ON position.

Use a pry tool to lift the edges of the windshield trim/molding and tuck in the power cord. Use the supplied Velcro strips to fix the Ultra Battery in place

Caution
Do not expose the product to direct sunlight and/or heat.
