Product Installation Continued
The GPS Antenna MUST be mounted in a location where it can clearly see the sky. It is designed to be
installed on the dash board center where it can see through the glass. Do not mount to the glass as the
antenna is positioned to see through the top of the housing, not through the bottom. Route the cable to
the control module location. Clean the mounting location with a Alcohol pad or other cleaner, then
remove the red colored backing from the mounting tape on the rear of the GPS antenna. Insure the top
side of the antenna is facing upward and is not obstructed from seeing the sky. Press the antenna
into place.
The power supply requires 3 connections: 1: Ground – Black wire, 2: Positive Constant – RED,
3: Ignition – Yellow.
To use all the features and functions the DVR must have all 3 connections made correctly.
Connect all cables to the proper connection on the control module.
Mount the control module with either the included Velcro tape or wire tires. The Module must be
securely mounted for the shock sensor to work correctly. Do not attach it to a wire harness or other
loose item or the shock detection mode will not work.
Make sure the included Micro SD Card is installed correctly and completely locked into place.
Use Only Class 10 Micro SD cards.
The fuse holder on the power harness contains a AGC 3A fuse. If this needs replacement USE ONLY a
3amp fuse or damage to the DVR system may occur.
Product Operation
Make sure the vehicle is outside where the GPS antenna can have a clear view of the sky. Turn
the vehicle on and allow the DVR to boot up. The first time it may take a few moments for the GPS
to locate a signal. If the
GPS has not locked on after 3-5 minutes, check to insure the antenna is
connected and then move the antenna to a better loaction.
There are two LED indicators on the front of the DVR.
The Chart shows the status of the DVR and corresponding
LED indications. If there are no LED's lit then check the
