Follow these steps to properly install your dash cam:

1. Prepare the Mounting Area: Clean the windshield area where the dash cam will be mounted. Ensure it is free of dust and grease.
2. Attach Static Stickers: Apply the static stickers to the windshield first, then attach the 3M adhesive mount for the main dash cam unit onto the static sticker. This allows for easier removal without leaving residue.
3. Mount the Main Unit: Securely attach the main dash cam unit to the mounted bracket on the windshield, typically near the rearview mirror for optimal front view.
4. Install the Rear Camera: Mount the rear camera on the rear windshield using its 3M adhesive. Ensure the view is clear and unobstructed.
5. Connect Cables:
   • Connect the rear camera to the main unit using the provided rear camera extension cable.
   • Connect the car charger power cable to the main unit's Type-C port and plug the other end into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
6. Route Cables: Use the installation pry bar to neatly tuck the power and rear camera cables along the edges of your car's interior trim to keep them out of sight and prevent interference with driving.
7. Insert MicroSD Card: Insert the included 128GB microSD card into the designated slot on the dash cam. Ensure it clicks into place.
8. Adjust Camera Angles: The side cameras are 180° rotatable, and the rear camera is 360° rotatable. Adjust them to cover desired angles (front, left cabin, right cabin, rear).

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On/Off

The dash cam will automatically power on and begin recording when connected to your vehicle's power supply (e.g., when you start the engine). It will power off automatically when the power supply is cut off.

4.2 Recording Modes & Coverage

The GD340 offers comprehensive recording with its four cameras:

• Front Camera: Records in 4K (3840*2160) resolution with a 166° wide angle.
• Left & Right Cabin Cameras: Record in 1080P with 244° coverage each, monitoring the interior and side windows.
• Rear Camera: Records in 1080P with 158° coverage, monitoring the rear of the vehicle.

This setup provides a groundbreaking 360° full-guard coverage without blind spots.

4.3 Loop Recording

The dash cam supports seamless loop recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest unlocked video files will be automatically overwritten by new recordings. The included 128GB microSD card provides ample storage for extended recording periods.

4.4 Emergency Video Lock (G-Sensor)

In the event of a collision or sudden impact, the built-in G-sensor will automatically detect the event and lock the current video segment (typically 5 seconds before and 15 seconds after the event). These locked files are protected from being overwritten by loop recording, ensuring critical evidence is preserved.

4.5 24/7 Parking Mode

The GD340 offers two customizable 24-hour parking monitoring options:

• Time-lapse Recording: Records video at one frame per second, compressing long periods into short, viewable clips to save memory card space.
• Collision Detection: The G-sensor triggers recording when an impact is detected, capturing the event.

Note: A hardwire kit (ASIN: B0FBVYV3W4, sold separately) is required to enable 24/7 parking mode and prevent car battery drain.
