3.3 Power Connection
Connect the drive recorder directly to your motorcycle's battery. This direct power supply eliminates the need for frequent charging. Pay close attention to connecting the positive and negative terminals correctly.
The power adapter requires a voltage output of DC5V/2A or higher for proper operation. Using standard 5V/1A or 5V/1.5A power adapters may lead to startup failures or repeated reboots.
3.4 GPS Module and Remote Control Installation
Install the GPS module in a location with a clear view of the sky for accurate speed and location data. Mount the wired remote control in an easily accessible position on your handlebars for quick access to recording functions.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Automatic Recording
The device automatically starts recording when the motorcycle engine is turned ON and stops when the engine is turned OFF. This ensures continuous recording during your rides.
4.2 Loop Recording
The drive recorder supports loop recording, which overwrites the oldest footage when the microSD card is full. You can set recording segments to 1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes. This ensures that you always have the most recent footage available.

4.3 G-Sensor (Impact Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or vibrations. In the event of an accident or strong shock, the device automatically records and locks the footage, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is preserved.

6. Maintenance
6.1 MicroSD Card Management
Regularly check the microSD card for locked files. While locked files are protected from overwriting, they can accumulate and fill the card. If the card becomes full, the device may stop recording or reboot unexpectedly. Periodically back up important footage and format the card to ensure optimal performance.
6.2 Waterproofing
The main unit is IP65 rated, and the cameras are IP67 rated. To maintain their waterproof integrity, ensure all connectors are securely fastened. Avoid submerging the main unit in water. In rainy conditions, the device is designed to function reliably.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Device Not Powering On or Repeatedly Rebooting
This issue is often related to insufficient power supply. Ensure your power adapter provides DC5V/2A or higher. Standard 5V/1A or 5V/1.5A adapters are not sufficient to power the device correctly and can cause instability.
7.2 Recording Stops or Device Reboots Due to SD Card Issues
If the microSD card's memory is full, especially with many locked files, the drive recorder may stop recording or reboot. Regularly back up and format your microSD card. Ensure you are using a compatible card (8GB-128GB, Class 10, U3 recommended).
7.3 WiFi Connection Problems
For a stable WiFi connection between the drive recorder and your smartphone, ensure the devices are within 1 meter of each other. Check that the 'KYCAM2' app is correctly installed and updated on your smartphone.
7.4 GPS Signal Issues
If the GPS module is not acquiring a signal or providing inaccurate data, ensure it is mounted in a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Verify that the connection to the main unit is secure. Strong vibrations might affect the GPS unit over time; ensure it is mounted firmly.
