4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Preparing the MicroSD Card

Before first use, format the microSD card in the dash cam. Use a high-quality U3 (V30 or higher) microSD card from a reputable brand for optimal performance. VIOFO recommends their industrial-grade microSD cards.

4.2 Mounting the Front Camera

1. Clean the windshield area where the camera will be mounted.
2. Apply a static sticker to the windshield first, then attach the camera mount to the static sticker using the 3M adhesive. This allows for easier removal without residue.
3. Ensure the camera is positioned to have a clear view of the road and does not obstruct the driver's vision.
4. Connect the car charger to the camera's power input (USB-C port on the GPS module) and route the cable neatly along the windshield trim to the vehicle's 12V power outlet.

2. Clean the area thoroughly.
