3. Attach the mounting bracket to the dash cam.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Button Functions

4.2 Recording

The dash cam will automatically start recording when powered on and connected to the car charger. Recording is typically continuous with loop recording enabled.

• Loop Recording: Automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked recordings when the memory card is full. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention.
• G-Sensor: Detects sudden impacts or collisions and automatically locks the current video file to prevent it from being overwritten.
• Night Vision: The camera features Super Night Vision with an IMX 335 Sensor, 6-Glass Lens, WDR Tech, and f1.6 Aperture to enhance clarity in low-light conditions.

4.3 Parking Monitoring

When the engine is turned off and the car is left, the car recorder will automatically enter a sleep mode. If an impact is detected (requires a hardwire kit, not included), it will wake up and record.

4.4 Playback Videos

You can playback recorded videos either on a PC or directly on the dash cam.

Method 1: Playback on PC

1. Safely remove the SD card from the dash cam.
2. Insert the SD card into a card reader connected to your computer.
3. Access the video files on the SD card to view them.

Method 2: Playback on the Dash Cam

1. Stop any active recording.
2. Short-press the Menu (M) Button to enter Playback Mode.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate through video files.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

• Storage: If not in use for an extended period, store the dash cam in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Dash Cam Fails to Power On or Activates Rear/Cabin Camera:
  Ensure you are using the original car charger provided. Mobile phone chargers or generic USB cables are not supported and can cause power issues.

  Reset the dash cam. If the issue persists, reinsert the SD card. If still unresolved, try formatting the SD card (after backing up data) or use a different Class 10 or higher SD card.
• Automatic Recording Not Starting:
  Verify the dash cam is properly connected to the car charger and the vehicle's ignition is on. Check if the SD card is inserted correctly and has sufficient space.
