  1. Connect the 5V converter cigarette plug cord to the drive recorder's power input port.
  2. Plug the cigarette lighter adapter into your vehicle's 12V power outlet.
  3. Route the cable neatly to avoid interference with driving controls.

4. Initial Power-On and Settings

  1. Start your vehicle's engine. The drive recorder should power on automatically.
  2. Follow the on-screen prompts to set the date, time, and other basic preferences. Refer to the "Operating Instructions" section for menu navigation.

Operating Instructions

Basic Controls:

  • DISP Button: Toggles display on/off or changes display mode.
  • MENU Button: Accesses the main menu for settings.
  • MODE Button: Switches between recording, playback, and settings modes.
  • OK Button: Confirms selections or starts/stops manual recording.
  • Up/Down Arrows: Navigates through menu options.

1. Continuous Recording

Once powered on, the DRY-ST1000P automatically begins continuous loop recording. Footage is saved in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes) and older files are overwritten when the microSD card is full, unless protected by impact detection.

2. Manual Recording

To manually start or stop recording a specific event, press the OK button during continuous recording. This will save the current segment and prevent it from being overwritten.

3. Impact Detection Recording (G-Sensor)

The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid acceleration/deceleration. When an impact is detected, the device automatically saves the current recording segment and locks it to prevent overwriting. The sensitivity of the G-Sensor can be adjusted in the settings menu.

4. Parking Surveillance (Optional)

If you have installed the optional parking surveillance kit, the device can monitor your vehicle for impacts or motion while parked. Refer to the optional kit's manual for specific setup and operation details.

Maintenance

It is recommended to format the microSD card regularly (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. Formatting will erase all data on the card, so back up any important files beforehand.

  1. Access the main menu using the MENU button.
  2. Navigate to the "Format" or "SD Card Management" option.
  3. Select "Format SD Card" and confirm the action.
