Setup Guide
1. Inserting the MicroSD Card
- Ensure the dash cam is powered off.
- Locate the MicroSD card slot on the side of the dash cam.
- Insert a Class 10 or higher MicroSD card (up to 128GB) into the slot until it clicks into place.
- It is recommended to format the MicroSD card within the dash cam settings before first use.
2. Installation
- Clean the windshield area where you intend to mount the dash cam.
- Apply the electrostatic film to the cleaned area of the windshield. This helps in easy removal and prevents residue.
- Attach the adhesive pad to the dash cam's bracket, then firmly press the bracket onto the electrostatic film on the windshield. Ensure the lens has a clear view of the road.
- Connect the 11.5ft car charger to the dash cam's USB-C port and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). Route the cable neatly to avoid obstruction.
3. Initial Power On
Once connected to power, the dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording. You can adjust settings via the 1.47-inch IPS screen or through the mobile application.
4. Connecting to the Mobile App (GoLook App)
- Download the "GoLook" app from the Google Play Store (for Android) or Apple App Store (for iOS).
- Turn on the dash cam.
- On your smartphone, go to WiFi settings and connect to the dash cam's WiFi network. The network name will typically start with "LF-J06-" followed by some characters.
- The default WiFi password is 12345678.
- Open the GoLook app. You should now be able to view live footage, access recorded videos, and adjust settings.

Operating Instructions
Basic Recording
The Diamond Lark LF-J06 Dash Cam automatically begins recording when powered on. Videos are saved to the inserted MicroSD card.
Loop Recording
This feature ensures continuous recording. When the MicroSD card reaches its capacity, the dash cam will automatically overwrite the oldest unlocked video files to make space for new recordings. This prevents the need for manual deletion.
G-Sensor Function
The built-in G-sensor detects sudden movements or impacts, such as collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, moving it to a protected folder on the MicroSD card. These locked files will not be overwritten by loop recording, preserving critical evidence.
Parking Monitor
With the parking monitor feature, the dash cam continues to record even when your vehicle is parked and the engine is off. If a collision or impact is detected while parked, the dash cam will automatically record and lock the footage. This feature requires a hardwire kit (ASIN: B0C9M8R4WL) for continuous power supply.

Using the IPS Screen and Buttons
The 1.47-inch IPS screen provides a live view and allows access to settings. The dash cam typically features a single multi-function button. A single press may save a picture, holding for 3 seconds can activate a screensaver, and holding for 10 seconds may initiate SD card formatting. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific actions.
App Functions (GoLook App)
After connecting your smartphone to the dash cam via WiFi and the GoLook app, you can:
- View live video feed from the dash cam.
- Browse and download recorded video files to your smartphone.
- Adjust dash cam settings, such as video resolution, G-sensor sensitivity, and parking mode options.
- Share videos directly to social media platforms.

Maintenance
Formatting the MicroSD Card
Regularly formatting the MicroSD card (e.g., once a month) is crucial for optimal performance and to prevent data corruption. This can typically be done through the dash cam's settings menu or via the GoLook app. Formatting will erase all data on the card, so ensure you back up any important videos first.
Cleaning the Device
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam's lens and screen. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the device. Ensure the lens is free of dust and smudges for clear video recording.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Dash cam not powering on. | Ensure the car charger is securely plugged into both the dash cam and the vehicle's 12V outlet. Check if the vehicle's 12V outlet is receiving power. |
| MicroSD card not recognized or requires formatting. | Ensure the card is inserted correctly. Try formatting the card via the dash cam's settings. If the issue persists, try a different Class 10 or higher MicroSD card (max 128GB). |

| Poor video quality. | Clean the dash cam lens. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lens. Check video resolution settings in the app or on the device. |
