Common Issues and Solutions
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dash cam not powering on. | Loose power connection, faulty car charger, vehicle's cigarette lighter not working. | Check all connections. Test the car charger in another vehicle or use a different charger. Verify the vehicle's power outlet. |
| Recording stops or freezes. | SD card full, corrupted, or incompatible; G-sensor sensitivity too high. | Format the SD card (after backing up data). Try a new, high-speed (U3 recommended) SD card. Adjust G-sensor sensitivity in settings. |
