Charge and power on/off instructions
Charging
Only the car charger included in the box can be used with 5V 1.5A output. If the current is less than
1.5A, or the voltage different from 5V, the device could be damaged or could not work properly.
›› Connect one end of the car adapter to the USB connector of the camcorder mount.
›› Plug the other end of the car charger to the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. Once the vehicle
engine is started, the camcorder automatically powers on.
Attention: in some vehicles the cigarette lighter has no outage after the vehicle turns off, this means that
the automatic turning on/off is not possible. Therefore the camera must be manually switched on/off.
Please make sure to charge this device at least two hours before using for the first time, to avoid camera
time restore to default setting due to battery out of power.
Note
•
The red led lights up while the battery is being charged (a complete recharge takes about 120 minutes).
Then the led will turn off.
Auto power on/off
When used as driving recorder, it is required to turn ON the “Loop Recording”. In this way connecting
with the car charger, when the vehicle engine is turned on, it will start recording video; when the vehicle
engine is turned off, the data will be saved, and the device will automatically shutdown.
Attention: in some vehicles the 12V plug does not switch off the power when the engine is turned off, the-
refore the automatic turning on and off cannot be done. You have to do it manually.
Manual power on/off
Shortly press the Power button to turn on the device: the blue led will turn on
Enter the video mode, keep pressed the Power button: the blue led will switch off.
Attention: in case of very low battery, the camera will emit an acoustic sound and then switch off.
Recharge
To recharge the car camcorder connect it to the PC with its USB cable.
The camera however, must be always powered while in use : the built-in battery is used only to cor-
rectly save the file before turning off the device. In standby conditions the battery life is only a few
minutes, so it must be always used while powered through the cable.
