OPERATION MODES
The two Arrow keys at the top left corner of the device, called the
Mode Switches,
allow you to
cycle between the device’s four distinct modes. You will not be able to switch modes while
recording video.
Video Record Mode
Photo Capture Mode
Video Playback Mode
Photo Playback mode
Note that pressing the
Menu/Back
button will take you to a different set of menu options
depending on which mode you are in.
VIDEO MODE
Video Mode is the default mode for the device, and allows you to easily record HD video of the
road ahead of you.
When first powered on, the device will start in video mode and automatically begin recording.
To start/stop recording press the
Record/Select
button at the top of the device.
Continuous Loop Recording:
Once the memory card is full, the camera will continuously
overwrite the oldest footage recorded. To protect a clip so that it will not be overwritten, press
the
File Lock
button. The lock icon will show on the screen. Files can also be locked from the
playback menu in
Video Playback Mode.
G-‐Sensor:
The G-‐Sensor is an accelerometer that can detect an impact caused by an accident. If
the G-‐Sensor is triggered, the current video segment will automatically be locked so that it is
not overwritten by continuous loop recording.
Note:
Setting proper G-‐Sensor sensitivity is important for proper operation of the
product. If the G-‐Sensor is too sensitive it will unnecessarily lock files and can result in
the memory card filling up quickly. If it’s not sensitive enough, then it may not lock a file
in the event of a legitimate collision.
Shortcuts:
While in video mode, you can use the following buttons as shortcuts:
•
Up/Mute
button enables or disables the audio input on the device.
•
Down/Exposure
button adjusts the brightness of your recorded video image.
•
Menu/Back
button turns off the screen. Recording will continue but the screen will be
dark until you press any button.
•
File/Lock
button automatically starts a recording and locks the current video. To unlock
the video press the
File/Lock
button again. To stop recording, press the
Record/Select
button at the top right of the device.
