5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Power On/Off

• Automatic: The dashcam will automatically power on and begin recording when your vehicle's engine starts (and power is supplied to the cigarette lighter socket).
• Manual: Press and hold the Power button to manually turn the dashcam on or off.

5.2. Recording Modes

• Loop Recording: The dashcam continuously records video in short segments (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the memory card is full, it automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked files.
• Emergency Lock (G-Sensor): In the event of a sudden impact or collision, the built-in G-sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording.
• Manual Lock: Press the designated "Lock" button (often indicated by a key icon) to manually protect the current recording from being overwritten.

5.3. Menu Navigation and Settings

Use the buttons located on the dashcam (refer to the product diagram in the manual for specific button locations) to navigate the menu. Common settings include:

• Resolution: Adjust video resolution for front, interior, and rear cameras.
• Loop Recording Duration: Set the length of video segments.
• G-Sensor Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity of impact detection.
• Parking Monitor: Enable or disable parking surveillance.
• Date/Time: Set the correct date and time for accurate timestamps on recordings.
• Format SD Card: Erase all data on the MicroSD card. Perform this regularly to maintain card health.

5.4. Night Vision

The dashcam is equipped with night vision capabilities to improve video clarity in low-light conditions. This feature typically activates automatically or can be configured in the settings menu.

5.5. Parking Monitor

When enabled, the parking monitor feature allows the dashcam to record events while your vehicle is parked. This often requires a continuous power supply or a hardwire kit (sold separately) to function effectively for extended periods.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning the Dashcam

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dashcam body and screen.
• For lenses, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth and solution to avoid scratches.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
