4.3 Wiring the Power Cable

The dash cam requires a wired connection to your motorcycle's battery for continuous power. It is recommended to have this step performed by a qualified technician if you are unsure.

1. Access Battery: Open the seat or relevant panel on your motorcycle to access the battery.
2. Connect Power Cable: Connect the black wire of the power cable to the negative (-) terminal of the motorcycle battery. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal.
3. Connect ACC Wire: Identify an ACC (Accessory) power source on your motorcycle that is only active when the ignition is on. Use a multimeter to verify the ACC power port. Connect the yellow wire of the dash cam's power cable to this ACC port.
4. Secure Wiring: Arrange and secure all cables using cable ties to prevent them from interfering with moving parts or being damaged.
