Note: It is recommended to format the memory card within the camera's settings before first use and periodically thereafter to ensure optimal performance.
3.2 Mounting the Dash Camera
- Clean the desired area on your vehicle's windshield, preferably behind the rearview mirror, to ensure a clear view of the road and minimal obstruction to your driving view.
- Attach the suction cup mount to the camera.
- Press the suction cup firmly against the cleaned windshield surface and flip the lever to secure it.
- Adjust the camera angle to ensure the lens captures the road ahead clearly.
3.3 Power Connection
- Connect the provided car charger to the camera's USB interface (refer to Image 2.2).
- Plug the other end of the car charger into your vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket).

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Recording
Once powered on, the camera will automatically start recording. The recording indicator (usually a flashing red dot or icon) will appear on the LCD screen.
4.2 Loop Recording
The camera records video in continuous loops (e.g., 1, 3, or 5-minute segments). When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. This ensures continuous operation without manual memory management.

4.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or sharp movements (e.g., during a collision). When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. These locked files are stored in a separate folder on the memory card.
