It will take around 55 seconds for the unit to be ready to operate. 1. VIDEO RECORDING Continuous Record This is the default mode for recording. Your AP1 begins recording after booting up and continues to record the entire time the device is on. In this mode, the microSD card storage may fill up quicker and overwrite your oldest recordings when it's full. The resolution and frame rates can be set as per your requirements. Event Record The unit will record when triggered by impact, various configurable driving events (e.g, speeding or forward collision) or events triggered by the "Panic" (Rec) button. You can set the record time during the calibration setting mode. Dual Record, Continuous + Event Continuous record files will be stored in the "Normal" folder, and event record files will be stored in the "Event" folder on the microSD card. Drive Data DRV data (drive data) will record driving information regardless of events. DRV files consist of GPS, G-sensor, ADAS and OBD data. DRV files overwrite your device's oldest data. DRV files upload to the server every 10 minutes by default but can increase to every minute. Time and Date This information will be provided by GPS satellites automatically. 2. WI-FI To connect to the device via Wi-Fi, please press the "multifunction" button and hold for 5 seconds (long press), wait 3 seconds and then connect directly to the AP1 via Wi-Fi using your mobile device. 3. VOLUME CONTROL Please press the volume button to control. The volume level is 1 to 5. SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE 4 ADAS FUNCTIONS Lane Departure Warning Your vehicle crosses a solid lane line on either side of the road. Forward Collision Warning Your vehicle is likely to collide with something in front of the vehicle. Headway Monitoring Warning Your vehicle is not maintaining a safe distance with the vehicle in front of you (tailgating). Caution ADAS functionality is not a substitute for an alert, trained and engaged driver. ADAS functionality will be impaired by many things, including but not limited to device malfunction, obstruction of the device's image sensor, intense weather conditions that reduce the visibility afforded to the device's image sensor, and poor and/or faded road and lane striping/markings. SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE 5 DRIVER SAFETY WARNINGS DISCLAIMER The AP1 is not a substitute for a safe, conscientious driver. The AP1 cannot compensate for a driver who is distracted, inattentive or impaired by fatigue, drugs or alcohol. Whether or not the AP1 is in use, it is always the driver's responsibility to take appropriate corrective action. It does not eliminate or decrease the need for a driver to stay alert and to obey all traffic laws while operating a vehicle. Never wait for the device to provide a warning before taking measures to avoid an accident. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage. Always, it is the driver's responsibility to: · Use safe driving techniques · Exercise proper judgment · Maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles · Take measures to avoid an accident · Comply with all applicable laws and regulations The driver and front passenger must always be correctly seated with seat belts fastened when operating the vehicle to reduce the potential danger of injuries. OPERATIONAL CONCERNS In certain conditions, including inclement weather, low visibility and certain road conditions (including poor lane markings, construction zones, dirt roads, heavy or complicated traffic, and curvy and winding roads), the AP1 may have limited to no functionality. The AP1 may not detect certain objects such as motorcyclists, bicyclists or pedestrians even in the most ideal conditions. Always keep the lens and view of the AP1 unobstructed and properly calibrated so as not to inhibit function. Driving in certain conditions or any interference with the AP1 can result in false, few or no warnings. The driver must always monitor traffic and surroundings and take measures to avoid an accident; failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage. If the AP1 is not functioning properly at any time, please contact your distributor or visit support.smartwitness.com and have the device inspected immediately to correct the issue. Whether or not the AP1 is functioning, it is the driver's responsibility to maintain vehicle control; failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage. CLEANING ADVISORY While cleaning the device or the vehicle cab, do not apply compressed air or cleaning solutions (such as Windex) to the AP1 device. Usage of these products may cause damage to the device. SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE 6 GPS RECEPTION When satellites don't have line of sight, cellular towers help triangulate a vehicle's location. IMPROVE YOUR SIGNAL 1. Activate your AP1 in an area without large buildings. 2. The optimum operating temperature for your vehicle's GPS is -10°C~50°C 3. When first using your AP1 or turning it on after a period (>3 days), allow more time to recognize your current location. 4. This product supports Assisted GPS. RECEPTION MAY BE IMPAIRED: 1. If your vehicle has metallic elements on the windshields. 2. If you install equipment generating electromagnetic waves that interfere with the GPS signal in the vehicle (ex: Other GPS devices like certain wireless activated alarms, MP3 and CD players and camera alarms use GPS.) 3. On heavily overcast or cloudy days if the vehicle is: · In a covered place such as under a bridge or raised roadway · In a tunnel · In an underground roadway or a parking area · Inside a building or garage · Surrounded by high-rise buildings 4. If GPS signal reception is poor. It may take longer to locate your current position when the vehicle is moving than when it's stationary.

SMARTWITNESS AP1 USER GUIDE 14 AP1 ADAS DISCLAIMER To properly activate and utilize AP1's ADAS features, Sensata | SmartWitness recommends installation using OBDII data or JBUS connection. Vehicle-sourced speed data retrieval through these means is integral to accessing vehicle speed for precise ADAS notifications. For installations (ex: 3-Wire) without vehicle data retrieval or in instances where speed is unobtainable from the vehicle, AP1 defaults to GPS speed measurement in the operation of ADAS features. In this case, vehicles must surpass a speed threshold to trigger ADAS functions. This threshold is distinct from other speed thresholds used to configure ADAS events. Please contact your SmartWitness | Sensata integration team to learn about specific values for different event types. Below these thresholds, and in cases where vehicles without vehicle-sourced speed data encounter GPS signal "dead zones" like parking garages and highway tunnels, loss of ADAS function is expected. If you enable ADAS features on an AP1, you assume full responsibility and indemnify Sensata | SmartWitness for any incidents directly correlated with ADAS efficacy, malfunction or delays.
