2. Power Connection
You have two options for powering the M70:
- Car Charger: Connect the 2-in-1 car charger to the Type-C port on the M70 and plug the car charger head into your car's cigarette lighter socket. This provides power for normal operation.
- ACC Cable: For advanced features like 24-hour parking monitoring and remote live monitoring via the CarKeeper app, use the 2-in-1 ACC cable. Connect the Type-C end to the M70. The ACC cable has three wires:
- Red wire (ACC wire): Connect to the vehicle's ACC power source.
- Yellow wire (constant power wire): Connect to the positive terminal of the car battery (constant power).
- Black wire (negative wire): Connect to the vehicle's body ground.
Note: Remote Live Monitoring and 24h Parking Monitoring require the use of the ACC cable. These functions will not operate correctly if only using the standard car charger.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the screen and device body. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Temperature: Operate the device within the specified working temperature range of -20℃ to 70℃. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold.
- Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, ensure it is powered off and disconnected from power sources. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Software Updates: Regularly check for and install OTA updates to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features.
- TF Card Care: Periodically format your TF card (back up important recordings first) to maintain its performance and prevent data corruption. Replace old or slow TF cards as needed.
Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on: Check all power connections. Ensure the car charger is properly seated in the cigarette lighter or the ACC cable is correctly wired to the car's power sources.
- No 4G signal: Ensure a valid 4G SIM card is inserted correctly. Check your mobile network coverage in the area. Restart the device.
- GPS not working: Ensure the GPS antenna is securely connected and placed in a location with a clear view of the sky.
- Recording issues: Check if the TF card is inserted correctly and is a Class 10 card. Ensure the card is not full; if it is, loop recording should manage it, but a format might be needed.
- Remote monitoring not working: Verify that the ACC cable is used for power, the device has 4G internet connectivity, and the CarKeeper app on your phone is properly configured and connected to the device.
- Screen unresponsive: Try restarting the device. If the issue persists, contact support.
- Audio output problems: Check selected audio output mode (Bluetooth, FM, AUX, built-in speaker). Ensure connections are secure for AUX, and FM frequencies match.
User Tips
- For optimal performance of ADAS and GPS features, ensure the device is mounted securely and the front camera has an unobstructed view of the road.
- When using split-screen, prioritize essential driving applications like navigation on one side to maintain focus.
- To maximize storage for recordings, consider using a 256GB Class 10 TF card.
- If you frequently use the remote monitoring features, ensure your vehicle's battery is in good condition, as the ACC cable draws power even when the car is off.
- Explore the various OSD language options in settings to find the most comfortable interface for you.
