Setup Guide

1. Prepare the MicroSD Card: Before first use, insert a Class 10 or higher MicroSD card (up to 128GB) into the dashcam's slot. It is recommended to format the card within the dashcam's settings for optimal performance.
2. Attach the Suction Cup Mount: Clean the desired area on your windshield. Press the suction cup firmly against the glass and flip the lever to secure it. Ensure the dashcam's view is unobstructed and does not interfere with your driving visibility.
3. Mount the Dashcam: Slide the dashcam onto the suction cup mount until it clicks into place. The mount allows for 360° rotation and 90° vertical adjustment for precise positioning.
4. Connect Power: Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Connect the mini-USB end of the power cable to the dashcam's USB port. Route the cable neatly along the windshield edge and dashboard using the provided wiring tool to avoid obstruction.
5. Power On: The dashcam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on (if connected to a switched power source). Alternatively, press and hold the Power button to manually turn it on.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation:

• Power On/Off: Press the Power button to turn on/off. The device will automatically power on/off with vehicle ignition.
• Start/Stop Recording: The dashcam typically starts recording automatically when powered on. Press the OK button to manually start or stop recording.
• Menu Navigation: Press the M (Menu) button to enter the menu. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to navigate options and OK to confirm.
• Mode Switching: Press the M button repeatedly to cycle through Video Recording, Photo, and Playback modes.

Advanced Features:

• Loop Recording: Set the duration (e.g., 1, 3, 5 minutes) in the menu. When the card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Lock): The G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent overwriting. Adjust sensitivity in settings.
• Parking Monitor: With the dashcam hardwired to the car battery (optional hardwire kit required), the parking monitor will activate and record a short video if an impact is detected while the vehicle is parked.
• Motion Detection: When enabled, the dashcam will start recording if it detects movement in its field of view while parked. This feature is typically used with the parking monitor.
• GPS Functionality: The built-in GPS module records your driving route, speed, and coordinates. This data can be viewed using a dedicated GPS player software on a computer.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dashcam's lenses and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surfaces.
• MicroSD Card Management:
  • Regularly format the MicroSD card (at least once a month) within the dashcam's settings to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording.
  • Use high-quality, reputable brand MicroSD cards (Class 10 or U3 recommended) to ensure reliable performance.
  • Avoid removing or inserting the MicroSD card while the dashcam is powered on or recording, as this can damage the card or the device.
