- Connecting Power:
Connect the provided USB Type C cable to the dash cam and the car power connector.

For continuous 24/7 surveillance and parking mode functionality, a hardwire kit (sold separately) is recommended.
- Initial Power On:
Once connected, the dash cam will power on automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. The device will begin recording automatically.
- Smartphone App Connection:
Download the dedicated Road Angel Halo app from your smartphone's app store (available on iOS and Android). Enable Wi-Fi on your phone and connect to the dash cam's 5GHz Wi-Fi network. Follow the in-app instructions to complete the setup and access live view, settings, and recorded footage.

Operating Instructions
Automatic Recording
The Halo Ultra automatically starts recording when powered on. Footage is recorded in a continuous loop, overwriting the oldest files when the storage is full. Important events triggered by the G-Sensor or manual events are protected from being overwritten.
G-Sensor and Event Recording
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden acceleration, braking, or impacts. When such an event occurs, the dash cam automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten during loop recording. These event files are stored in a separate, protected folder.
Parking Mode
With a hardwire kit (sold separately), the Halo Ultra provides 24/7 parking surveillance. The dash cam will monitor your vehicle for motion or impact events while parked. If an event is detected, it will automatically record and save the footage. The system includes a variable voltage battery cut-off to prevent draining your car's battery.

Winter Heating Mode
This feature, active when the dash cam is hardwired, helps keep the windshield area around the camera clear from frost, ice, and condensation in cold weather, ensuring clear recordings.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Lens
Regularly clean the dash cam lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the lens.
Firmware Updates
Check the Road Angel website or the smartphone app periodically for firmware updates. Keeping your dash cam's firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, new features, and bug fixes.
Data Management
While the dash cam features loop recording, it is advisable to regularly back up important footage to your computer or cloud storage. Periodically format the internal storage (or SD card) through the app to maintain optimal recording performance, especially if you frequently experience G-Sensor events.
