TF Card Usage Guide

1. Technical Specifications:

• Supports memory cards from 16 GB to 256 GB with speed class 10 or higher.
• Use high-speed TF cards from reputable brands. Low-quality TF cards may cause recording failures or card rejection.

2. Initial Setup:

• Format the card via the dash camera after the first installation.
• Back up important data beforehand (formatting will erase all data).

3. Routine Maintenance:

• Format the card monthly to maintain read/write speed.
• Do not insert or remove the card while the dash camera is powered on.
• Replace the card immediately if read/write errors occur or capacity deviations are observed due to repeated overwriting.

Description of Important Functions

1. Loop Recording: When the TF card is full, old video files will be automatically overwritten to ensure continuous recording. Loop recording duration can be set in the app (1/2/3 minutes).
   • For optimal user experience, video clip duration is limited to 3 minutes when using a 256 GB memory card.
2. G-sensor: Upon collision or vibration, the dash camera will automatically start emergency recording and lock the video file.
3. Parking Mode (requires optional hardwire kit): When connected to the hardwire kit, a 24-hour parking surveillance mode is activated. In this mode, upon detecting a collision, the dash camera will automatically start recording and lock the video.
4. Time-lapse Recording (requires optional hardwire kit): After correctly connecting the hardwire kit, this function can be enabled via the app for 24-hour monitoring. A 30-minute video will be compressed into 1 minute to save space on the card.
5. Recording Screen Rotation: The video recording direction can be rotated 180° in the app settings. Recorded videos will be saved in the album.
6. Voice Control: While the dash camera is operating, simply speak a voice command to activate the corresponding function. Voice commands support English, Japanese, French, Russian, Thai, and Vietnamese. For other languages, use English commands.
