temperature is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).*
• strong sunlight (especially when using Motion
Detection)*
• damp and cold. Freezing, and thawing, of water can
cause damage.
• impacts such as from dropping the camera
• excessive vibration
• strong cleaners (including cleaning solution and high
concentration detergent) and chemicals. Use only a
slightly damp cloth for cleaning.
*Note that extreme temperatures can be achieved in
parked cars in direct sunlight.
Do not dismantle or open the casing. This may result in
electric shock as well as damage to the camera.

• Can’t record video or take picture?
Check that there is enough storage space on the microSD card, or if you have Loop T Recording switched on that the files are not
protected.
• Camera stops recording occasionally?
The data stream of HD video is huge, so please use a high-speed Class x or Class 10 microSD card that is compatible with SDHC.
• ‘File Error’ message when you want to play back?
Please use the FORMAT CARD Menu to format the microSD card. (Please use a computer to format the card to FAT32 if it is bigger
than 32GB.)
• No image display on TV/DVD screen?
Please check that the AV, HDMI cable is connected correctly, and the TV/DVD is set to the correct AV, HDMI mode.
• The image is blurred?
Maybe the lens or windshield is dirty. Use lens cleaner for the lens. Please remember to remove the lens protecting film before first
use.
• Power indicator doesn’t work?
If the power supply is less than 600mA current then the camera can’t be charged and the power indicator won’t work.
• Image has interference with horizontal stripes?
This is due to the wrong setting of FLICKER. Use the SETTINGS menu to
reset to match your power supply frequency.
• Camera doesn’t auto start recording when the car engine is started?
Auto start will not work when LOOP RECORDING is OFF. Use the SETTINGS menu to switch to 1/3/5 minutes. Also, please check whether
microSD card is full.
• The camera continues automatic recording and won’t stop?
Maybe the camera is in MOTION DETECTION mode. When MOTION DETECTION is on the camera starts recording when there is a moving ob-
ject within its range. When the motion stops, the camera will automatically stop recording until it detects new motion. Note that it is difficult
to turn MOTION DETECTION off with the camera held in your hands.
• AUTO POWER OFF setting doesn’t work?
Please ensure that MOTION DETECTION is turned off. If it is on then the camera remains in STANDBY mode and will start recording when a
moving object is detected. It will not auto shut down until the power goes off.
• The camera has locked and does not respond to button presses?
Remove the camera from the mount or turn off the power. Hold the power button for 20 seconds. The camera will auto reset.

The camera is designed for quick and easy mounting to your windshield using a sticker pad.
1 Fit the camera in the mounting bracket with the power cable connected to either the mounting bracket or the camera itself.
2 Simulate use of the camera on your windshield to find the best mounting location. We recommend placing it at the center of
the windshield, just behind the mirror. That is the most discrete location, and will not interfere with driving vision.
3 You may need to fit wedges (supplied) if you want to mount other than at the center of the windshield. Screw the wedges to
the mounting bracket or use the VHB pads. The two wedges supplied offer angles of 2° and 4°, and can be used singly or together
to create a total angle of 6°.
4 Stick the sticker pad to the mounting bracket or wedges, and attach to your windscreen. Hold in place for a few seconds to
ensure good adhesion.
5 Turn on the camera and check its display again.
When you want to demount the camera just slide it out of the mounting bracket. There is no need to take the mounting bracket
down.
When you want to remove the mounting bracket from your windshield use a thin cord with a sawing motion to cut between the
sticker pad and the windshield. You can remove adhesive residue with ‘WD-40’
spray. Please don’t use a rigid crowbar or similar
since this may damage the mounting bracket or the windshield.

You can buy a Hardwire Kit as an optional accessory. This allows direct connection to the car fuse console, and provides the most
convenient and fixed method of stowage of the cable itself. We advise that the Hardwire Kit should only be fitted by a professional
expert.

POWER CONNECTION, standard option
The camera must be operated with an external power
supply, which is provided by the car during normal
recording.
Use the supplied lead for connection to a cigar lighter
socket. This is the simplest method of connection, but
means that the cigar lighter socket is not available for
other purposes.
