Maintenance

SD Card Management

• Regularly format your Micro SD card (at least once a month) to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption.
• Ensure you use a high-quality, high-speed Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher, U3 recommended) from a reputable brand for 4K recording.
• Backup important footage to your computer or cloud storage before the loop recording feature overwrites older files.

Cleaning

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lenses and the dash cam screen. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Ensure the windshield area where the dash cam is mounted is clean for secure adhesion of the suction cup.

Troubleshooting

• "Memory Error" Message: This often indicates a problem with the SD card. Try formatting the card through the dash cam's settings. If the issue persists, replace the SD card with a new, high-quality one.
• Dash Cam Falls Off Windshield: Ensure the windshield and suction cup are clean and dry before mounting. In hot weather, the adhesive on some mounts can weaken; ensure the suction cup is properly secured.
• Poor Video Quality: Check the recording resolution in the settings. Ensure lenses are clean and free from smudges or dirt. For night vision, ensure the IR lights are not obstructed.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Ensure the dash cam's Wi-Fi is enabled and you are within range. Restart both the dash cam and your smartphone, then try reconnecting.
• GPS Not Recording: Ensure the GPS module is properly connected and has a clear view of the sky. Verify GPS settings in the menu.
