Setup

1. Installation

Choose a suitable location on your windshield, typically behind the rearview mirror, to ensure the dash cam has a clear view of the road ahead without obstructing your driving vision. Clean the area thoroughly before applying the electrostatic sticker and then mounting the dash cam.

2. Powering the Dash Cam

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

3. Inserting the Memory Card

The REDTIGER F9 Lite comes with a 32GB memory card pre-inserted. Ensure it is securely seated in the designated slot. If you need to insert or replace the card, gently push it into the slot until it clicks into place. The dash cam supports continuous loop recording, overwriting the oldest footage when the card is full.

Operating the Dash Cam

Crystal Clear 4K Video Quality

The F9 Lite records in stunning 4K (3840x2160P) resolution at 30 frames per second, capturing every detail on your journeys with exceptional clarity and sharpness. This ensures that all footage is detailed and reliable, serving as crucial evidence during incidents or for documenting your travels.

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)

Stay safe on the road with the dash cam's integrated ADAS features. These include:

• Forward Collision Warning: Alerts you if you are approaching a vehicle too quickly.
• Start-from-Stop Alerts: Notifies you when the car ahead moves after a stop.
• Lane Departure Voice Alerts: Provides voice warnings if the vehicle drifts out of its lane.

These systems help maintain driver awareness and prevent potential accidents.

Seamless WiFi & GPS Connectivity

The built-in WiFi allows for effortless integration with your smartphone via the REDTIGER APP. This enables wireless control for easy access to settings, live view, and footage playback directly on your phone. The integrated GPS feature records your location and speed, providing valuable context for your recordings and evidence for insurance claims.

Loop Recording

With the included 32GB memory card, the dash cam features loop recording. This function ensures continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest footage when the memory card reaches its capacity. This means you will never miss a crucial moment on the road due to a full memory card.

Parking Monitor & G-sensor

The integrated G-sensor automatically detects sudden movements or collisions. In the event of an impact, it will automatically record and lock emergency video footage, protecting it from being overwritten. For 24-hour parking surveillance, an extra hardwire kit (included in the box) is required. This enables two parking modes:

• Emergency Recording: Automatically records when a collision is detected while parked.
• Time-Lapse Recording: Continuously records at a low frame rate to save storage space while monitoring your parked vehicle.

These features provide peace of mind and added security for your vehicle even when you are away.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the dash cam lens and body. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Memory Card: Periodically format the memory card (at least once a month) within the dash cam's settings to ensure optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up any important footage before formatting.
• Firmware Updates: Check the REDTIGER official website or app for any available firmware updates to ensure your dash cam has the latest features and bug fixes.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the dash cam in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Recording Issues (e.g., footage not saving, gaps in recording)
