3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Basic Recording

Once powered on, the 70mai Pro Dash Cam automatically starts continuous loop recording. Older files will be overwritten when the MicroSD card is full, unless they are protected emergency recordings.

3.2 Emergency Recording

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden movements or collisions. In such events, the dash cam automatically records and locks the footage, preventing it from being overwritten. You can also manually trigger an emergency recording via voice command or by pressing the designated button.

3.3 Smart Voice Control

The 70mai Pro supports voice commands for hands-free operation. Common commands include:

• "Take Photo": Captures a still image.
• "Record Video": Starts an emergency video recording.
• "Turn On Screen": Activates the display.
• "Turn Off Screen": Deactivates the display.

Ensure clear pronunciation for optimal voice recognition.

3.4 Parking Monitoring

When your vehicle is parked and the ignition is off, the dash cam can enter parking monitoring mode. If the G-sensor detects a collision or significant vibration, it will automatically record a short video. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, sold separately) to function for extended periods.

3.5 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

The integrated GPS module enables ADAS features, such as the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). This system alerts you if your vehicle drifts out of its lane, helping to prevent accidents.

Download the 70mai app from your smartphone's app store (Android 4.1 / iOS 8.0 and above). Connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network to:

• View live footage.
• Playback recorded videos.
• Download videos to your phone.

The default Wi-Fi password can be found in the dash cam's settings menu or on the device itself.

4. Maintenance

4.1 MicroSD Card Formatting

It is recommended to format the MicroSD card once a month to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording. This can be done through the dash cam's settings menu or via the 70mai app. Formatting will erase all data on the card, so back up any important files first.

4.2 Cleaning the Device

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lens and body. Do not use chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the device. Keep the lens free of dust and smudges for optimal video quality.

4.3 Firmware Updates

Periodically check for firmware updates via the 70mai app. Updates can improve performance, add new features, and fix bugs. Follow the in-app instructions carefully during the update process.
