Using your dash cam in a vehicle
To ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the dash cam near the rear-view mirror.
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device where the driver’s field of
vision is blocked.
(For selected models only) If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic and impact
the GPS reception. In this instance, please mount your device where there is a “clear area.”
The system will automatically calibrate the G sensor of the device during start-up. To avoid G sensor malfunction,
always turn the device on AFTER you mount it in the vehicle properly.
Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to securely mount your dash cam and rear camera
into a vehicle.
1. Mount the dash cam.
2. Mount the rear camera (for selected models only).
Operating basics
Turning the dash cam on
Complete the installation according to the instructions in the “Using your dash cam in a vehicle” section. Once the
vehicle engine is started, the dash cam automatically turns on.

cannot turn the dash cam off by using the Power button, insert a small rod
(such as a straightened paperclip) into the Shutdown button to shut down
the dash cam.

Route the cables through the top ceiling and the A-pillar so that it does not interfere with driving. Make sure that the
cable installation does not interfere with the vehicle's airbags or other safety features.
Note:
For the models without the rear camera, simply connect the dash cam to the cigarette lighter via the car charger.
The installation illustrations are for your reference only. The placement of the devices and cables may vary depending
on the vehicle model. If you encounter any problems during installation, contact a skilled installer (such as the service
personnel of the vehicle) for assistance.
Inserting a memory card
You must insert a memory card (not supplied) before you can start recording. The dash cam supports Class 10
memory cards with 8 GB - 128 GB capacity.
Hold the card by the edges and gently insert it into the slot as shown in the illustration. To remove a card,
gently push the top edge of the card inwards to release it and pull it out of the slot.
Depending on the model, your dash cam may have two memory card slots. In
this case, always insert the primary memory card into Slot 1 and then the second
card (if available) into Slot 2. The recorded files are stored to the card in Slot 1;
the card in Slot 2 is for you to back up files manually. (Selected models only)
Note:
DO NOT apply pressure to the centre of the memory card.
Navman does not guarantee the product’s compatibility with memory cards from all manufacturers.
