Operating Instructions

Basic Operation:

• Power On/Off: The device powers on automatically with vehicle ignition. To manually power on/off, press and hold the Power button.
• Recording: Recording starts automatically when the device is powered on. A flashing indicator (usually red dot) confirms recording is active.
• Menu Navigation: Use the Menu button to access settings. Use Up/Down buttons to navigate and OK button to confirm selections.

Recording Modes:

• Loop Recording: The dash cam records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 minutes). When the SD card is full, the oldest unlocked files are overwritten.
• G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, the current video segment is automatically locked and protected from being overwritten.
• Parking Monitor: When enabled, the dash cam will automatically start recording if it detects a collision or vibration while the vehicle is parked. This feature requires a continuous power supply (e.g., hardwire kit, sold separately) or relies on the dash cam's internal battery for a limited duration.

Playback:

• Stop recording (if active).
• Enter Playback mode via the Menu.
• Browse through recorded videos using the navigation buttons.
• Press OK to play a selected video.

Maintenance

SD Card Formatting:

Regularly formatting the SD card (at least once a month) is crucial for maintaining optimal recording performance and preventing data corruption. This can be done through the dash cam's menu settings.

Cleaning:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lenses and screen.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the device.
• Ensure the windshield area around the camera is clean to prevent obstruction of view.
