Maintenance

microSD Card Maintenance-Free

The CELLSTAR CS-92WQH features a proprietary file system that prevents file fragmentation on the microSD card, significantly reducing the occurrence of errors. This eliminates the need for regular formatting, simplifying maintenance.

• While regular formatting is not required, it is recommended to periodically check the microSD card for any signs of wear or damage.
• If you experience any recording issues, try using a different compatible microSD card to rule out card failure.
• Keep the lens of both the front and rear cameras clean to ensure clear video recordings. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust or smudges.

  • Verify the vehicle's power outlet or fuse is functioning correctly.
• No recording / Recording errors:
  • Ensure the microSD card is properly inserted.
  • Although maintenance-free, try formatting the microSD card via the device's menu if issues persist.
  • Test with a different compatible microSD card to check if the original card is faulty.
