Tips before Using the Product
Unit Preparation for video recording
1.
Take the SD card out of the Drive recorder. Access the Player.exe menu
and enetr the set up mode, setting time zone, daylight savings time and
other settings (as noted in the programming section of the manual). Re-
insert the SD card in the recorder. Following the installation instructions.
When you connect the unit to power, or turn the engine on, “dR Init”
appears on the LED display on the unit, indicating that the video
recorder is initializing. The LED display window will show a series of
numbers, this indicates that GPS satellites are beginning acquired.
2.
In about 25 seconds after power on, longer if one has not set the local
time zone on the SD card, the unit completes initializing and a “ding
dong” chime is heard along with the words “Hello”. The unit may still
show a series of numbers followed by and “GPS FINE” will appears. This
adjusts the unit further for increased accuracy.
3.
After the chime, the Drive Recorder starts continuous recording without
GPS data. The unit is recording video and audio as well as vehicle
speed, direction and location, when: a) when the vehicle is stopped,
the unit shows local time; b) when the vehicle is in motion, it displays the
vehicle’s speed.
Continous recording while driving
1.
Drive Recorder informs you of your vehicle’s speed, when stopped, the
unit it displays the time.
2.
When the capacity of the SD card has been reached, the oldest files
are overwritten for continuous recording. The data recorded by either
the unit’s internal G-Sensor or external manual record button are not
overwritten. (This alarm data must be erased by the User with the SD
card inserted in the computer, erasing event data in the DATA folder.)
3.
When you stop the engine or remove the power cable from the
cigarette lighter plug, Drive Recorder stops recording.
