Connect the GPS module to the designated port on the dash cam. Position the GPS module in an area with a clear view of the sky, typically on the dashboard or near the windshield, to ensure optimal signal reception for accurate location and speed tracking.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's ignition is turned on. It will power off automatically when the ignition is turned off.

4.2 Touch Screen Interface

The 11-inch UHD display is a touch screen. Navigate through menus and settings by tapping and swiping on the screen. You can switch between front and rear camera views by swiping across the screen.

4.3 Recording Modes

• Loop Recording: The dash cam continuously records video in segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are overwritten.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically lock the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
• 24-hour Parking Monitoring: Requires an optional hardwire kit (not included). When enabled, the dash cam will automatically record if motion or impact is detected while the vehicle is parked.
