5. Operating Instructions

Once installed and powered on, the Orbit T100 system will typically begin recording automatically.

5.1. Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: The system powers on with the vehicle's ignition and powers off when the ignition is turned off. A manual power button may also be present on the monitor.
• Live View: The 10.1-inch IPS screen displays live feeds from the connected cameras. You can typically switch between single-camera views or a multi-camera split view.
• Recording: Continuous loop recording is the default mode. Older files are overwritten by new ones when the storage card is full, unless protected by the G-Sensor.

5.2. G-Sensor Functionality

The integrated G-Sensor detects sudden acceleration, braking, or impacts. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten during loop recording. These protected files are stored in a separate folder on the memory card.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam system.

• Cleaning the Monitor: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Cleaning the Cameras: Periodically check camera lenses for dirt, dust, or water spots. Clean gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. The cameras have an IP67 rating, meaning they are protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables for signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent system malfunction.
• Memory Card: Format the memory card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal recording performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important files before formatting.
