1. Introduction
This instruction manual provides comprehensive guidance for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Anyski Type C USB Cable Hardwire Kit, specifically designed for the Anyski M5 Dash Cam. This kit ensures a stable power supply to your dash cam, enabling features like parking surveillance and providing essential low voltage protection for your vehicle's battery.
Please read this manual carefully before installation and use to ensure proper functionality and to prevent any damage to the product or your vehicle.
2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Package Contents
Before you begin, please verify that all components are present:
- Anyski Type C USB Hardwire Kit (1 unit)
- (Additional accessories may vary based on specific product packaging)
2.2 Installation Steps
The Anyski Type C USB Hardwire Kit connects your M5 Dash Cam directly to your vehicle's fuse box, providing continuous power and enabling parking mode features while protecting your car battery from draining.
- Identify Fuse Box: Locate your vehicle's fuse box. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for its exact location (usually under the dashboard, in the glove compartment, or under the hood).
- Connect ACC Wire: Identify a fuse that is only active when the ignition is on (Accessory or ACC fuse). Use a fuse tap (not included, typically) to connect the red ACC wire from the hardwire kit to this fuse slot.
- Connect B+ (Constant Power) Wire: Identify a fuse that is always active, even when the ignition is off (Constant Power or B+ fuse). Use another fuse tap to connect the yellow B+ wire from the hardwire kit to this fuse slot.
- Connect Ground Wire: Securely attach the black ground wire from the hardwire kit to a metal bolt or screw on the vehicle's chassis that is part of the car's metal frame. Ensure a good electrical connection.
- Route Cable: Carefully route the Type C USB cable from the hardwire kit to the location of your Anyski M5 Dash Cam, ensuring it does not interfere with driving controls or airbags. Use cable clips if necessary to secure the cable.
- Connect to Dash Cam: Plug the Type C USB connector into the corresponding port on your Anyski M5 Dash Cam.
- Test Connection: Start your vehicle to ensure the dash cam powers on correctly. Turn off the vehicle and remove the key to verify that the dash cam enters parking mode (if supported by your dash cam) and that the low voltage protection feature is active.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power Supply
Once correctly installed, the hardwire kit provides a stable power source to your Anyski M5 Dash Cam. The ACC wire ensures the dash cam powers on and off with your vehicle's ignition, while the B+ wire provides continuous power for parking surveillance features.
3.2 Low Voltage Protection
A key feature of this hardwire kit is its integrated low voltage protection. This mechanism automatically cuts off power to the dash cam if your vehicle's battery voltage drops below a preset threshold. This prevents excessive battery drain, ensuring your vehicle has enough power to start.
- The specific voltage cut-off level is pre-configured by the manufacturer to protect your vehicle's battery.
- When the voltage drops, the dash cam will power off to conserve battery life.
- Power will resume automatically once the vehicle's battery voltage returns to a safe level (e.g., after starting the engine).
4. Maintenance
The Anyski Type C USB Hardwire Kit is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect the cable and connections for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections.
- Cleanliness: Keep the cable and connectors free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid Stress: Do not bend the cable sharply or place heavy objects on it, as this can damage the internal wiring.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, which can degrade the material.
