1. Mount the Front Camera to the Windshield

Make sure that you mount the front camera in a safe, appropriate location where it won't obstruct the driver's view. Clean your windshield before applying the mount. Before attaching the camera, wait at least 20 minutes after applying the mount to the windshield.

Inserting a memory card:

1. If the device is powered on, press and hold the POWER button to power it down.
2. Insert the card with the metal strips facing you.
3. Push the card into the slot, listening for a click sound signaling the card is securely inserted.

Removing a Memory Card

Before removing a memory card from your V2 PRO, you must first dismount it for safe removal.

With the device powered down, press down the memory card until you hear a click. Gently remove your finger (or other pressing object) to allow the spring release to push the memory card out of the slot.

Note: Do not remove the memory card while the device is transferring or accessing information. Doing so can result in data loss or corruption or damage to the memory card or device. Rexing is not responsible for losses that result from the use of damaged memory cards, including the loss of data.

3. Formatting a Memory Card

3.1 Powering the Camera

You must always connect the V2 PRO to a power source while operating the camera. Connect the larger end of the included car charger cable to your car's cigarette lighter (12V DC power outlet) and connect the other Mini-USB end to the Mini-USB port on the device.

Note: Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty. Use only Rexing-approved chargers. Using unapproved chargers or cables can damage the device.

If the device receives an unstable power supply, the screen may not function properly. If the device is not operating properly using a Rexing-approved charger, please contact Rexing Customer Care at care@rexingusa.com.

3.2 Formatting the Memory Card

Before formatting your memory card, always remember to make backup copies of all important data stored on the card. The manufacturer's warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user actions.

Note: It's recommended that you format your memory card after transferring files to your computer or at least once a month. For best results, format the memory card using the Format function on your camera:
