5.1 Mounting the Dash Cam

1. Clean the area on your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam.
2. Attach the suction cup mount to the windshield, ensuring it is securely fastened and does not obstruct your view of the road.
3. Securely attach the dash cam unit to the suction cup mount. Adjust the camera angle for optimal front view coverage.

5.2 Power Connection

1. Connect the car charger to the dash cam's USB port.
2. Plug the other end of the car charger into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
3. The dash cam will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts and power off when the vehicle is turned off.

5.3 Inserting the Memory Card

1. Ensure the dash cam is powered off before inserting or removing the memory card.
2. Insert a TF (microSD) card (up to 64GB, Class 10 or higher recommended) into the TF card slot until it clicks into place.
3. It is highly recommended to format the memory card within the dash cam's settings menu before first use and periodically thereafter to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption.

5.4 Initial Settings (Language)

Upon first power-on, you may need to set the language:

1. Navigate to the system settings menu on the dash cam's screen.
2. Select the 'OSD Language' option.
3. Choose your preferred language from the available options: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), German, Russian, French, Korean, Portuguese, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, English.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Recording (Loop Recording)

Once powered on and with a memory card inserted, the dash cam will automatically begin loop recording. This feature ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest video files when the memory card reaches its full capacity. You can adjust the loop recording duration (e.g., 1, 3, 5 minutes) in the settings menu.

6.2 G-Sensor Functionality

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden acceleration, braking, or impacts. When a significant event is detected, the current video file is automatically locked and saved to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted in the settings.

6.3 Motion Detection

When enabled in the settings, the dash cam will automatically start recording if it detects movement in front of the vehicle while it is parked. This feature is useful for monitoring your vehicle when you are away.

6.4 Parking Monitor

The parking monitor feature allows the dash cam to automatically record a short video clip if it detects a collision or impact while the vehicle is parked and the engine is off. This provides surveillance even when the car is stationary.

6.5 Rear Camera Operation (if applicable)

If your dash cam includes a rear camera, connect it to the main unit using the provided camera link cable. When the vehicle is put into reverse, the dash cam will automatically switch its display to show the rear view, assisting with parking and maneuvering.

6.6 Video Playback

To view recorded videos:

1. Stop recording (if currently active).
2. Enter the playback mode through the menu options.
3. Use the navigation buttons to browse through the recorded files.
4. Select a file to play it back on the dash cam's screen.

6.7 Date and Time Watermark

The dash cam supports displaying a floating date and time watermark on all recorded videos. Ensure the date and time settings are accurate in the system menu for correct timestamping of your recordings.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Device

• Wipe the camera lenses and the screen with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical cleaning agents, as these can damage the device's surface or lenses.

7.2 Memory Card Management

• Regularly format the TF card (at least once a month) using the dash cam's menu to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
• If the memory card frequently shows errors or fails to record, consider replacing it with a new, high-quality TF card.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device not powering on: Check the power connection, ensure the car charger is properly inserted, and verify that your vehicle's power outlet is functional. Ensure the internal battery has some charge.
• Recording issues (e.g., not recording, corrupted files): Ensure the TF card is inserted correctly, formatted, and not full. Check loop recording settings. Try using a different TF card.
• Poor video quality: Clean the camera lenses. Check the resolution settings in the menu to ensure it is set to the desired quality (e.g., 1080P).
• Screen freezing or unresponsive: Try resetting the device. If a reset button is available, use a thin object to press it. Otherwise, disconnect and reconnect the power supply.
• Rear camera not displaying: Ensure the rear camera is properly connected to the main unit via the camera link cable. Check cable for damage.
