TIPS
1
Back up your videos
Back up your videos regularly to external media such as blank
CDs or DVDs (not included). To reduce the risk of losing recorded
video on the Road Warrior, make an extra copy of all important
videos. All Road Warrior videos are stored in the data folder in the
SDHC memory card. Videos end in a .JDF extension.
2
Replacing your SDHC memory card
The SDHC memory card included with your Road Warrior is a
high-grade, Class-6 memory card. SDHC stands for Secure Digital
High Capacity, and provides extended memory capacity compared
to normal SD memory cards. Always replace damaged memory
cards with Class-6 SDHC memory cards. The maximum
supported size is 32 GB gigabytes.
3
Maintaining memory card health
Back up your files regularly, and format your SDHC memory card
monthly. This ensures that the memory card operates error-free.
After you format your SDHC memory card, you can restore your
user settings.
4
Viewing videos on your SDHC memory card
Always use the included SDHC memory card reader to view video
files on your computer. Should you lose or damage the included
memory card reader, replace it with a SDHC memory card reader
only.
5
Obtaining GPS signals
Always keep the GPS mounting bracket clear of obstructions.
The Road Warrior seeks GPS signals when it is powered on.
Depending on weather conditions and your environment, it may
take longer than usual for the GPS signal to lock in. If you are
inside a garage, you may have to move your vehicle outdoors
before the Road Warrior can detect a signal.
6
Preventing data loss on your SDHC memory card
Always power off your Road Warrior before removing the
SDHC memory card. Removing the SDHC memory card when
the Road Warrior is on may corrupt the files.
