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, this 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
