4. Installation Guide

4.1. Identify Fuse Box Location

First, locate your vehicle's fuse box. This is typically found in the driver's side footwell, glove compartment, or trunk. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact location.

4.2. Select Appropriate Fuse Taps

The kit includes various fuse adapters (Low-Profile Mini, Mini, ATO, Micro2) to ensure compatibility with most vehicle fuse boxes. Identify the type of fuse used in your vehicle and select the corresponding adapter.

Each fuse tap has two slots: one for the original fuse and one for the new circuit's fuse. Ensure the fuse is correctly plugged into the holder.

4.3. Identify ACC and B+ Power Sources

The hardwire kit requires two power sources from the fuse box:

• ACC (Accessory): Provides power only when the vehicle ignition is on. This is typically used for the dash cam's normal recording mode.
• B+ (Battery): Provides constant power, even when the vehicle is off. This is essential for parking surveillance mode.

Use a multimeter or a circuit tester to identify suitable fuse slots. The red wire of the hardwire kit connects to the ACC fuse slot, and the yellow wire connects to the B+ fuse slot. The black wire is for ground.

4.4. Connect Ground Wire

Connect the black ground wire to a metal bolt or screw on the vehicle's chassis, ensuring a secure connection to the negative pole of the power supply.

4.5. Route the Cable

Carefully route the Type C USB cable from the fuse box to your dash camera's mounting location. Use the included pry tool to tuck the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior seams (e.g., along the A-pillar, headliner, and dashboard) for a clean and hidden installation.

4.6. Connect to Dash Cam

Plug the Type C USB connector into your dash camera. Once all connections are secure, reconnect the vehicle battery's negative terminal and test the dash camera's functionality.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the hardwire kit provides continuous power to your dash cam. If your dash cam supports parking mode, it will automatically activate when the vehicle engine is turned off, providing 24-hour surveillance.

6. Low Voltage Protection

The hardwire kit features an integrated low voltage protection mechanism. If the vehicle's input voltage drops below 11.6V (or 23.2V for 24V systems), the power supply to the dash cam will be automatically cut off. This prevents excessive battery drain, ensuring sufficient power remains to start the vehicle engine.

7. Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam Not Powering On: Verify all connections (ACC, B+, Ground) are secure and correctly wired. Check the fuses in the fuse taps and the vehicle's fuse box. Ensure the dash cam itself is functioning correctly.
• Parking Mode Not Working: Confirm your dash cam model supports parking mode and that it is enabled in the dash cam's settings. Ensure the B+ wire is connected to a constant power source.
• Vehicle Battery Drains: Check the low voltage protection settings on your dash cam (if adjustable) or ensure the hardwire kit's protection is functioning. Ensure no other accessories are drawing excessive power.
