2. Attach Camera: After selecting the position, peel off the protective film from the back of the camera and firmly attach it to the front windshield.
3. Prepare Cable Frame Base: Slide the cable frame upward to remove its base.
4. Attach Cable Frame Base: Remove the protective film from the base, then attach it to the windshield in the correct orientation. Ensure it's not too close to the camera, allowing room for the casing. Route the cable through the base for organization and protection.
5. Secure Cable Frame Casing: Remove the first casing of the cable frame and slide it onto the base, securing the cable.
6. Connect to Car Stereo:
   • Install the AC-FHD02DV on your vehicle's front windshield.
   • Connect the "E" terminal of the extension cable to the "E" terminal of the AC-FHD02DV cable.

   • Plug the adapter cable into the appropriate port on the rear panel of the car stereo.

   

7. Route Cables: Route the camera cable along the vehicle's interior edges to keep it neatly concealed and prevent interference.

Warning:

The tape used on both the camera and the base has strong adhesion. Remove them carefully to avoid damaging the windshield. If you are unable to remove them safely, seek assistance from a professional.

4. Operating Instructions

Initial Setup and DVR Mode:

• After installation, ensure your ATOTO X10 series head unit is set to DVR Mode to enable full DVR functionality.
• Confirm that the camera is powered on and properly aligned for optimal recording.

Recording Features:

• Real-time Recording: The camera captures FHD 1080P video footage of the road ahead.
• Loop Recording: The system supports continuous recording, overwriting the oldest footage when the memory card is full.
• G-Sensor Activation: In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the corresponding video footage to prevent it from being overwritten.
• Outage-Proof Functionality: The camera is designed to automatically save current recording footage even during unexpected power outages, ensuring critical moments are not lost.
• Parking Surveillance: When enabled, the camera provides 24/7 monitoring. It automatically activates, captures, and locks a 30-second video clip if an event is detected while parked.

Viewing and Playback:

• View the front driving scene in real-time directly on your ATOTO X10 series head unit.
• Playback recorded footage through the head unit interface.
• GPS Track Playback: If your head unit supports it, you can see exactly where every moment happened during playback.

Memory Storage:

The ATOTO X10 Series Car Stereo supports up to a 256GB memory card or a 2TB external hard drive for video storage (USB1 Recording Storage). This allows for long-term recording storage. (Memory card and hard drive are sold separately).

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear recording. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Firmware Updates: ATOTO provides lifetime free firmware and software updates. Regularly check for updates through your ATOTO X10 head unit or the official ATOTO website to ensure optimal performance and new features.
• Memory Management: Periodically review and manage stored footage. While loop recording handles overwriting, ensure important locked files are backed up if needed.
• Cable Integrity: Periodically check the connection cables for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure they remain securely connected to the head unit.

6. Troubleshooting

• Camera Not Recording:
  • Ensure the camera is properly connected to the DVR camera input port on your ATOTO X10 head unit.
  • Verify that the head unit is set to DVR Mode.
  • Check if the camera is powered on and correctly aligned.
  • Ensure the memory card is inserted correctly and has sufficient free space.
• Poor Video Quality:
  • Clean the camera lens to remove any dirt or smudges.
  • Ensure the camera is firmly attached and not vibrating.
  • Check for strong light sources directly in front of the camera; WDR and strong light suppression should help, but extreme conditions can affect quality.
• G-Sensor Not Activating:
  • Check the G-sensor sensitivity settings on your ATOTO X10 head unit. Adjust if necessary.
• Footage Not Saving During Power Outage:
  • Ensure the camera's power connection is stable. If the power is completely cut instantly, there might be a very brief moment where the last few milliseconds are not saved, but the outage-proof feature is designed to minimize this.
