Maintenance

1. SD Card Formatting

To ensure continuous and error-free recording, it is recommended to format the MicroSD card every few weeks. This can typically be done through the dash cam's settings menu or via the mobile app.

Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent smudges or dirt from affecting video clarity. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet. Check the vehicle's 12V outlet for power.

• Wi-Fi Connection Problems: Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on the dash cam and your phone. Double-check the SSID and password. Move your phone closer to the dash cam (Wi-Fi range is about 10ft).
