5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AMprime Mirror Dash Cam, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Screen and Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen and camera lenses. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surfaces.

- Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent electrical issues.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dash cam, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | No power supply; loose connection; faulty power cord. | Check power cord connection to the dash cam and cigarette lighter. Ensure vehicle's power outlet is working. Try a different power source if available. |
| Screen is unresponsive or frozen. | Software glitch; temporary system error. | Press and hold the power button to force a restart. If unresponsive, disconnect power for a few minutes, then reconnect. |
| Rear camera image is reversed. | Incorrect setting for rear camera display. | Access the dash cam's settings menu and look for an option to "Flip Image" or "Mirror Image" for the rear camera. Adjust as needed. |
| Cannot connect to CarPlay/Android Auto. | Bluetooth/Wi-Fi issues; incompatible phone settings. | Ensure Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your phone and the dash cam. Forget the device on both ends and try pairing again. Check phone's compatibility and software updates. |
| Recordings are not saving or are corrupted. | TF card full; faulty TF card; incorrect formatting. | Format the TF card regularly. Ensure you are using a high-speed (Class 10 or U3) TF card. Replace the TF card if issues persist. |
| Poor night vision quality from rear camera. | Environmental factors (e.g., bright headlights); inherent camera limitations. | While WDR technology improves low-light performance, extremely bright headlights from behind can still cause glare. This is a common characteristic of dash cams and not necessarily a defect. Ensure the lens is clean. |
