The   Drive   HD   Dash   Cam   includes   a   built   in   G-­‐Sensor   which   allows   the   device   to   determine   when   

the   car   has   been   in   a   collision.   If   it   detects   a   collision,   it   automatically   locks   the   recording   being   

made   at   the   time   of   the   accident.   You   can   use   this   setting   to   set   the   sensitivity   of   the   G-­‐Sensor   

from   low   to   high   or   turn   it   off.      The   default   G-­‐Sensor   value   is   medium.      At   High   sensitivity   the   G-­‐

Sensor   may   lock   files   due   to   smaller   bumps   like   potholes   and   the   SD   card   may   fill   up   with   

protected   files.   

   

Volume:   

   

Allows   you   to   raise   and   lower   the   volume   of   sound   playback   on   the   device.   

   

Microphone:

   

Allows   you   to   turn   the   microphone   on   or   off.   You   can   also   do   this   via   the   up/microphone   

button   while   video   is   being   recorded.   When   the   microphone   is   off,   the   camera   will   record   video   

only,   and   no   sound.   

   

Backlit   keys:

   

Allows   you   to   enable   or   disable   the   backlight   of   the   keys   on   either   side   of   the   screen.   

   

Screen   flicker:

   

Optimizes   video   depending   on   how   your   country’s   electrical   systems   work.   Select   50Hz   if   the   

power   voltage   of   the   country   is   220V.   Select   60Hz   if   the   power   voltage   is   110V   

Auto   power   off:

   

Automatically   powers   the   unit   off   after   a   set   time   if   the   unit   is   NOT   recording.      This   setting   has   

no   effect   while   the   unit   is   recording.   

   

Screen   Protector:

   

Allows   you   to   set   a   duration   after   which   the   device’s   display   will   go   dark.      This   setting   is   useful   

to   avoid   distracted   driving   and   having   a   bright   LED   screen   when   driving   at   night.   Select   1   minute   

or   3   minutes.   

TV   Out:

   

Allows   you   to   set   the   device   to   your   regional   television   standard   for   proper   output   of   the   video   

signal   to   your   TV.   The   options   are   NTSC   and   PAL.   

GPS:   

   

Allows   you   to   enable   or   disable   GPS   functions   on   the   device.   The   GPS   accessory   for   this   product   

is   not   currently   available.

   

   

Timezone:

   

Allows   you   to   adjust   your   device’s   clock   to   the   proper   offset   from   GMT.
