when no further motion is detected. An automatically started recording can also be ended at
any time by pressing the

will be deleted once the memory card is full to make space for a new video.
If the Car Black Box is connected to a car adapter or a power supply, it is automatically switched
on in Video mode and commences recording when a motion is detected. Where the Car Black
Box is connected to a cigarette lighter socket in a car, it will start automatically as soon as the
ignition is switched on. The Car Black Box is switched off again 5 minutes after the ignition has
been switched off .
Note:
• The Car Black Box does not switch on automatically if it is connected to a computer.
• The auxiliary light cannot be switched on or off manually.
