Before First Use

1. Formatting the Memory Card:

   Before inserting the microSD card into the dash camera, format it using a computer. Formatting ensures compatibility and optimizes performance. Regular formatting is recommended to maintain storage integrity.

   Note: Back up any important files before formatting, as this will erase all data on the card.

2. Inserting the Memory Card:

   • Once formatted, insert the microSD card into the memory card slot, following the direction indicated by the notch prompt on the device.
   • Press the card in until it clicks into place. The dash camera requires a high-speed microSD card (Class 10 or higher) for video storage.

3. Power-On Operation:

   The dash camera automatically powers on and begins recording when connected to a power source. Always stop recording before adjusting menu settings.

   Warning: Ensure the dash camera is powered off before inserting or removing the microSD card to prevent damage to the device or the memory card.

Installation

1. Turn off the vehicle engine before installation.
2. Insert a high-speed microSD card (Class 10 or above, minimum 16GB) into the memory card slot. Format the memory card using the dash camera before first use.
3. Peel the adhesive backing from the camera and attach it securely to the vehicle's central windshield. Ensure the installation does not obstruct the driver's view.
4. Adjust the camera lens angle to ensure it captures both the road ahead and a portion of the bonnet. The camera should be level with the ground for optimal recording.
5. Plug the car charger into the vehicle's 12V socket (cigarette lighter).
6. Connect the dash camera to the charger using the supplied USB cable. Route the power cable along the edge of the windshield and down the vehicle's A-pillar, ensuring it is securely positioned and does not interfere with any airbag deployment areas.

7. Start the vehicle engine and check that the dash camera powers on and functions correctly.
8. If necessary, adjust the mirror and camera angles for the best visibility and recording coverage.
9. Attach the AV out connector of the rear camera to the 'AV' port of the dash camera, then route the black cable of the rear camera through the body of your vehicle to the rear of it.
10. Mount the Rear Camera to the rear of the vehicle.
