• Power On/Off: Press and hold the Power button (usually on the side) to manually turn the device on or off.

• Loop Recording: Set the duration of video segments (e.g., 1, 3, 5 minutes). When the card is full, the oldest unprotected files will be overwritten.
• G-Sensor Sensitivity: Adjust sensitivity (Low, Medium, High, Off). Higher sensitivity means minor impacts will trigger file locking.

• Park Monitor: Enable or disable. When enabled, the camera will automatically record if an impact is detected while the vehicle is parked and the camera is off.

4.5 File Protection

During recording, if the G-Sensor detects an impact, the current video file will be automatically locked to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording. You can also manually lock a file during playback by selecting the file and using the menu option to protect it.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and screen. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• MicroSD Card: It is recommended to format the MicroSD card periodically (e.g., once a month) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. This can usually be done through the dash cam's menu settings. Note: Formatting will erase all data on the card. Back up important files before formatting.
• Storage: Store the dash cam in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
