Guidelines for Recording Times (While the Battery is Full)

Standing by in parking mode: approx. 25 minutes
During continuous recording (time for always recording ): approx. 15 minutes

Guideline for Charging Time

When using the provided car charger: approx. 3 hours

* The battery is not fully charged directly after purchase. As a result, operations may 

become unstable, and you may not be able to do parked recording. Start using 
the device after it is fully charged.

GPS

•  GPS positioning begins when the power of the device turns on. Positioning may 

take about 5 minutes to complete depending on the GPS positioning conditions.

•  GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). GPS  

positioning cannot be used in tunnels and buildings. Signal reception may be affected 

by conditions such as bad weather and dense overhead obstacles (e.g., trees, tunnels, 

viaducts, and tall buildings). Speed, position, and other information will not be  

displayed correctly when GPS satellite signals cannot be received.

•  GPS positioning data is reference values.
•  GPS is managed by the U.S. government, which assumes full responsibility for its 

performance. Changes to the GPS system may affect the accuracy of all GPS devices.

If You Notice a Problem with the Device

Reset the device. Turn off the power by pressing the reset button on the back of the 
device with the tip of a thin paperclip. Press the power button once again to turn the 
device on again.

Precautions for using SD cards

•  When using a commercially available SD card, also check the instructions supplied with the SD 

card.

•  Be sure to format (initialize) an SD card with the device before use.
•  SD cards have a product lifespan, such as the number of times that writing can be performed. 

It is recommended to replace the SD card with a new one regularly depending on the usage 
conditions.

•  When inserting and removing an SD card, confirm the orientation, do not bend it, and do not 

apply a strong force or impact to it.

•  Do not directly touch the contact part with a hand or metal. The stored data may be damaged 

or lost due to static electricity.

•  Be sure to back up (copy) the required files in the SD card to a PC or other device. The saved 

data may be lost due to the usage conditions of the SD card. Please note that JVC KENWOOD 
cannot compensate for any damages arising from the loss of saved files.

•  Format the memory card periodically.
•  Do not remove the memory card while recording or during playback because it may 

corrupt the data on the memory card.

•  The device may not operate normally if you use an SD card that was used by another 

device, such as a computer or digital camera. Format the memory card in the device.

•  Depending on the specifications of the memory card, the reading and writing 

speeds for the device's data may differ.

Specifications

Precautions for Installation

•  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.
•  Install the device in a position where it will not interfere with the movement of the rear-

view mirror.

•  Take care not to install the device over the vehicle inspection sticker or other sticker.
•  Take care not to install the device where it will interfere with driving or airbag operation.
•  When installing the device in a vehicle equipped with a driving support system, check 

the instruction manual of the vehicle and then select an installation location that will not 
interfere with the driving support system.

•  If the device is installed incorrectly, event recording or parking recording may not work 

correctly. Refer to "How to Install" for the loosening of fixing knob, installation orientation, 
installation angle, and other information and then install the device correctly.

•  Do not install the device near a digital terrestrial television antenna or an electrical  

component. Doing so may reduce television receiver sensitivity or cause flickering and 
noise.

•  Use a commercially available cleaning cloth or the like to wipe off all dirt and grease on 

the mounting surface and then fix the mount base in place. If the device is re-affixed or 
mounted using, for example, general-purpose double-sided tape, the adhesion strength 
may weaken and cause the device to fall.

•  After mounting the device, leave it for 24 hours before use to enable the mounting 

strength of the mount bracket to improve. Failing to do so may result in the adhesion of 
the mount bracket becoming weak and the device falling.

•  Fix the cord in place with tape or the like so that it does not interfere with driving.

Precautions for Use

Do not block the camera lens, get dirt on it, or place a reflective object near it.
When LED traffic lights are recorded, video in which they appear to be flickering or flashing may be 

recorded. JVC KENWOOD assumes no responsibility with regard to the distinguishing or recording of 

traffic lights.
If coating is used on the windshield of the vehicle, recording quality may be affected.
There is no guarantee that the device can record video in all conditions.

Precautions and notices

Precautions and notices

• 

Warning!

 Do not operate the device while driving. Using this product does not 

change the requirement for a driver to take full responsibility for his or her behavior. 
This responsibility includes observing all traffic rules and regulations in order to 
avoid accidents, personal injury or property damage.

•  For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.
•  A window mount is needed when using the recorder in a car. Make sure that you 

place the recorder in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver’s view or 
deployment of airbags.

•  Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reflective material is 

placed near the lens. Please keep the lens clean.

•  If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a coating, it may impact the recording quality.
•  Connect the charger to a proper power source. The voltage requirements are found 

on the product case and/or packaging.

•  Do not use the charger if the cord becomes damaged.
•  Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the 

unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.

Caring for your device

•  Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of  

damage.

•  Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
•  Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of 

time.

•  Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device.
•  Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
•  Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could cause  

moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your device. In the event of  
moisture condensation, allow the device to dry out completely before use.

•  The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp objects. Nonadhesive 

generic screen protectors designed specifically for use on portable devices with LCD panels 
may be used to help protect the screen from minor scratches.

•  Never clean your device with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen and 

the exterior of your device.

•  Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
•  Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your device. 

Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause damage to your device and 
even bodily injury or property damage and will void any warranty.

•  Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment 

as your device, its parts or accessories.

•  To discourage theft, do not leave the device and accessories in plain view in an unattended 

vehicle.

•  Overheating may damage the device.

Cleaning the Device

When the device is dirty, wipe it with a dry silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If the device is very 

dirty, remove the dirt with a cloth with neutral cleaner on it and then wipe off the cleaner.  Wiping 

the device with a hard cloth or using using a volatile substance such as thinner or alcohol may 

cause scratches, deformation, deterioration, or other damage.
When the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with water. Rubbing the lens 

strongly with a dry cloth may cause scratches.
