4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Recording
The dashcam automatically begins recording when powered on. Recordings are saved to the inserted microSD card. Loop recording ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest files when the card is full.

You can switch between different display modes on the dashcam screen. Typically, a quick double-click of the top button allows you to toggle between the ADAS information display and the full dashcam recording view.
