Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place. It is recommended to format the MicroSD card in the dash cam's settings menu before first use and periodically thereafter.

Clean the area on your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam. Attach the suction cup mount to the windshield, ensuring a secure grip. Slide the front dash cam unit onto the mount. Adjust the lens angle to ensure it captures the road ahead clearly.
- Install the Rear Camera:
Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield or license plate area. Route the rear camera cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim to the front dash cam unit. Connect the rear camera cable to the designated rear camera port on the main unit.
- Connect Power:
Plug the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Connect the Mini USB end of the car charger cable to the Mini USB port on the front dash cam unit. Route the power cable along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to avoid obstructing your view.
- Initial Power On:
Once connected to power, the dash cam will automatically turn on and begin recording when your vehicle starts. If it does not, press the Power Button to turn it on. Adjust settings as needed via the menu.

Key settings to configure:

- Date/Time Stamp: Ensures recorded videos have accurate date and time information.
- WDR (Wide Dynamic Range): Improves video quality in high-contrast lighting conditions.
- Format SD Card: Erases all data on the MicroSD card. Perform this regularly to maintain card health.
