6. Maintenance

6.1 General Care

• Keep the dash cam and lenses clean using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures outside the specified operating range (-20℃ to +70℃).
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the device to strong impacts.

6.2 Memory Card Management

• Regularly format your MicroSD card (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
• Ensure emergency videos are protected from overwriting. These files are typically locked automatically by the G-sensor.
• If the memory card is full, the cyclic recording function will automatically overwrite the oldest unprotected footage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your dash cam, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Device not powering on: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet. Check if the vehicle's power outlet is functioning.
• Recording not starting: Verify that a MicroSD card is inserted correctly and has sufficient free space. Format the card if necessary.
• Poor video quality: Clean the camera lenses. Ensure the dash cam is securely mounted and not vibrating excessively. Check the resolution settings in the menu.
• Rear camera not displaying: Check the connection cable between the main unit and the rear camera. Ensure the rear camera lens is clean.
• Buttons unresponsive: Try resetting the device (if a reset button is available, otherwise disconnect and reconnect power).

8. User Tips

• For optimal performance, use a high-speed (Class 10 or U3) MicroSD card from a reputable brand.
• Periodically check the dash cam's viewing angle to ensure it covers the desired areas, especially after cleaning or adjustments.
• If using parking detection, ensure you have the necessary hardwire kit (not included) for continuous power when the vehicle is off.
• Regularly back up important footage to an external device or cloud storage to prevent accidental loss.
