5. Operating Instructions
Understand the basic operations of your dash cam:

6.3. G-Sensor (Automatic Collision Detection)
The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden impacts, rapid acceleration, or sharp braking. When triggered, it locks the current video footage, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical evidence is securely saved.

6.4. Seamless Loop Recording
When the Micro SD card reaches its storage limit, the loop recording feature automatically overwrites the oldest unlocked footage with new recordings. This ensures continuous recording without manual intervention. Protected files (from G-sensor or manual lock) are not overwritten.

6.5. 24-Hour Parking Monitor
With the parking monitor feature enabled, the dash cam will automatically detect impacts or motion around your parked vehicle and begin recording. For continuous 24-hour monitoring while the engine is off, a hardwire kit (sold separately, ASIN: B0FDB8KWDL) is required to provide constant power.

7. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your dash cam:
- Clean Lenses: Regularly clean the front and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lenses.
- Format SD Card: It is recommended to format the Micro SD card once a month to prevent data corruption and ensure smooth recording. This can be done through the dash cam's menu settings.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all cable connections (power, rear camera) to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Yonvim official website periodically for any available firmware updates. Keeping your dash cam's firmware up-to-date can improve performance and add new features.
- Storage Conditions: While the dash cam is designed for extreme temperatures, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when parked can be harsh. If possible, park in shaded areas or remove the dash cam during extended periods of extreme heat.
