Insert a high-speed Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher, 4GB to 32GB capacity recommended) into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure the card is inserted correctly until it clicks into place. The device does not include a memory card.

2. Mounting the Main Dash Cam

2. Attach the suction cup base to the dash cam.
3. Press the suction cup firmly against the windshield and lock it into position. Adjust the camera angle for an optimal view of the road.

3. Connecting the Backup Camera

1. Identify a suitable location for the backup camera, typically near the license plate or on the rear windshield.

4. Power Connection

Connect the provided Type C power cable to the dash cam and plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket). The dash cam will typically power on automatically when the vehicle starts.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Recording

Once powered on, the dash cam will automatically begin loop recording. Video segments are saved to the Micro SD card. When the card is full, the oldest unlocked files will be overwritten.

2. Emergency Crash Lock (G-Sensor)

The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or rapid deceleration. When triggered, the current video segment will be automatically locked and protected from being overwritten by loop recording. The sensitivity of the G-sensor can be adjusted in the settings menu.

3. Parking Mode

When the vehicle is parked and the dash cam detects a collision or motion, it will automatically power on and record a short video (approximately 30 seconds). To enable 24-hour parking mode, the dash cam requires a continuous power supply, such as a power bank or direct connection to the car battery (requires a separate hardwire kit, not included).

4. Reversing Visual Function

When the vehicle is put into reverse gear (if properly wired), the dash cam display will automatically switch to show the live feed from the backup camera, providing a wider field of vision for safer reversing.

5. Menu Navigation

Use the buttons on the dash cam to navigate through the menu options. Common settings include video resolution, loop recording duration, G-sensor sensitivity, date/time, and parking mode settings.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Gently wipe the camera lenses and display screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surfaces.

2. Memory Card Management

Regularly format your Micro SD card (at least once a month) to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's settings menu. Replace the memory card if you experience frequent errors or reduced performance.

3. Battery Care

The dash cam contains a built-in lithium-ion battery (150mAh). Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect battery life and performance.

Troubleshooting

• Dash Cam does not power on: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the dash cam and the vehicle's power outlet. Check if the vehicle's power outlet is functioning.
• Recording stops or freezes: Format the Micro SD card. If the issue persists, try a different high-speed (Class 10 or higher) Micro SD card within the recommended capacity (4GB-32GB).
• Poor video quality: Ensure the camera lenses are clean and free from obstructions. Check the video resolution settings in the menu.
• Parking Mode not working 24/7: The 24-hour parking mode requires a continuous power supply to the dash cam, such as a power bank or a hardwire kit connected to the car battery. The standard power cable only provides power when the vehicle's ignition is on.
• Backup camera not displaying: Check all cable connections between the backup camera and the main unit. Ensure the backup camera is properly installed and powered.
