Parking Sensitivity: 

You can adjust the sensitivity of the Monitor Parking function by setting it to 

Low, Medium or High. The default setting is at Medium. 

 

Press the menu button again until you see the following Spanner and screwdriver.

 (SETUP MENU)

 

 

Date/Time:

  This feature will allow you to change the year, month, day, time and date format using 

the up/down arrow buttons and using the OK button to move from year, month then day etc. 
 

License No. Set:

 This feature allows you to put the name of the vehicle user or number plate in the 

DVR by using the up/down buttons to change the letters and numbers to have whatever name or 
number you would like, then press the OK button to move onto the next space. 
 

Auto Power Off:

 This feature will turn you DVR off after 3, 5 or 10 minutes and will turn your DVR 

off completely so we suggest this feature always be set to 

‘OFF’

 
Beep Sound:

  Allows you to turn off the beeping sound every time a button is pressed. 

 
Language:

  Allows you to choose from a selection of languages that include: English, French, 

Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Japanese.  
 

TV Mode:

 We recommend this be set to ‘PAL’ as PAL is the Australian standard line frequency and 

will work on any TV when playing back your footage on TV via provided HDMI cable. 

 
Frequency:

  This feature allows the best recording in conditions where street lights and ac lighting 

is used. The Australian standard frequency is 50HZ so it should be set to ‘50hz’. 

 
Screen Protection: 

 This feature will turn your LCD off after 3, 5 or 10 minutes but will continue to 

record regardless. This feature is useful for night driving as having the LCD on could be a 
distraction. 
 

Format:

 This feature allows you to format/delete all the files off your micro SD card and also 

reinstalls your DCIM directory and DVR software on your SD card so the micro SD card can operate 
with your DVR free of errors. 
 

Default Setting:

  This feature will reset all your settings and return your DVR to the factory standard 

settings. 
 

Version:

  This simply shows the firmware/software employed by the DVRs hardware.
