Setting up the Device
<Be Sure to Do This Prior to Using It>
Step1: How to Install/How to Wire
Recommended installation position
Install the device in a position where it will not block the front view of the driver (position where
hidden by the rear-view mirror).
Install the device so that it is within the wiping range of the wiper.
Mounting the device to the center of the windshield behind the rear-view mirror will facilitate
optimal video recording.
CAUTION
When passing the power cord through the front pillar or another part, observe the following
points when performing the wiring work.
Wire the power cord farther forward or farther rearward than the airbag so that it does not interfere with
the airbag.
In the case of a vehicle in which the front pillar cover is fixed in place with special clips or the like, the clips
may need to be replaced after you remove the front pillar cover. For how to remove the front pillar cover,
the availability of replacement parts, and other information, contact the vehicle dealer.
Fix the power cord in place with commercially available soft tape or the like so that it does not interfere
with driving.
1
Confirm that your car is parked in a level area.
2
Use a commercially available cleaning cloth to wipe off any dirt
or grease from the location you are mounting the device.
3
Follow the procedure below to mount the device securely inside
the car.
Confirm the position in which to affix the device, and then affix it. To strengthen
the bond of the adhesive tape,
let it set for over 24 hours before use.
Connecting via the provided car charger
1
Connect the provided car charger to the car's lighter socket,
connect the power cord to the device, and then arrange the cord.
2
Turn on the engine.
The power turns on and starts charging the device.
The lamp on the car charger lights green.
3
Let it charge like that for at least 3 minutes.
After it has charged for over 3 minutes, you can use it.
4
Adjust the mounted angle.
When you are actually using the device, make sure that the camera's field of
view is parallel to level ground and that the ground-to-sky ratio is about 6 to 4.

the device from the bracket or after the angle has changed and you readjust it while
the power is on.
The adjusted angle is recorded when the power is turned on.
Connecting via the CA-DR150
(optional accessory)
• Before connecting the device, be sure to read and understand the instruction manual that comes
with the CA-DR150
(optional accessory), and then mount it safely. Additionally, read about the
switch settings and wiring beforehand.
1
Do the settings for the "Voltage cut-off value settings" and "Off
timer settings".
Be sure to read the instruction manual that comes with the CA-DR150
(optional
accessory)
, and then do the settings.
2
Do the wiring.
The 5-V power supplied to the dashboard camera starts after a certain period (around 20 seconds),
even though the accessory's power is on, to allow the dashboard camera to assess the power
supply's voltage (12 V/24 V).
