Automotive HD Video Recorder
OPERATION
•
With a compatible MicroSD Card inserted into the Recorder, turn vehicle ignition on. The
“PWR” LED will be red and three beeps will be heard, indicating the Recorder is receiving
power and initializing. After a few seconds, the “PWR” LED will change from red to green,
indicating the recorder is functioning normally and recording.
•
Vehicle position information may not be immediately available, as it can take several
seconds or longer (up to five minutes) for the internal GPS antenna to acquire satellite
signals and begin logging vehicle location data. Blue “GPS” LED will light when satellite
acquisition is successful.
•
If you hear continuous beeping after ignition on, there may be a failure of the MicroSD
card no SD card, or a device malfunction. Shut off the ignition, remove the Recorder from
the Mounting Bracket, and remove the Micro SD card. Using a PC, check to see if the
MicroSD card can be properly read, and its files viewed using the CYL-V Player program.
•
If the card cannot be read, first try formatting the card using “CYL-V_Settings.exe.”
With the card inserted in the computer, open “CYL-V_Settings.exe” and select “Format
SD Card” button. If the card still does not function, then it is defective and should be
replaced. If so, insert a new MicroSD card into the Recorder and start driving. If beeping
continues, there is possibly a hardware failure, refer to Troubleshooting in this manual. If
beeping occurs while driving, simply press the red Driver Event Button to silence, but it is
important to investigate the reason for beeping as soon as the vehicle returns to base.
•
Parking Mode – when parking mode is off, Recorder will shut off a few seconds after
ignition is off. When parking mode is on, Recorder will continue recording at a reduced
frame rate, and will shut off totally at the end of the pre-configured parking mode time
period.
•
When Recorder power is off, all LEDs will be dark, and it is safe to remove the MicroSD
card.
