GETTING STARTED
A. POWER ON/OFF
1.
Turning ON: Connect the Guardo DASHCAM PRO to the Duo USB car charger (18)
using the USB charging cable (19). The device will automatically turn ON and you will
hear “Guardo ON”. As soon as the car engine is started, the recording will start. The
DASHCAM will now be powered during recording.
When the car charger is disconnected from the unit, the DASHCAM will shut down
automatically and save the files.
2.
Turning OFF: Press and hold the Power button (3) for 3 seconds. You will hear “Driven
by Guardo”.
When the device has been turned OFF, short press the Power button (3) to turn it ON
again.
Note :
• It is also possible to charge the Guardo DASHCAM PRO by connecting it to your PC/
notebook using the USB cable (19).
See page 10 before making the connection.
• The built-in battery is only used to save the last file when the power is disconnected
or for short time operation. If the battery is low, you will hear “Low battery” and see the
red LED indicator (5). We strongly suggest to always connect the device to the Guardo
car charger during use in the car/truck.
• Some car power outlets do not shut off when the car ignition is turned off. Keeping the
Guardo DASHCAM PRO connected to such power outlet might cause the car battery
to discharge.
B. USE OF THE SD CARD (not supplied, optionally available)
Illustration II
1.
Insert the SD/TF card into the SD/TF card slot (16) at the
bottom of the unit until it clicks into place. Format the SD
card directly using the Dashcam menu, see page 13.
2.
To remove the SD Card, press it lightly. It is partially ejected,
allowing you to pull the card out. !Device should be turned
off before removing the card! If no SD card is inserted, you
will hear “Insert memory card”.
Note
:
• We recommend using a 16 GB SDHC card (or higher) with class 10 (or higher) and a
minimum writing speed of 15MB/s (not supplied, optionally available).
• Without SD card, the unit will NOT function!
•
If the SD card is inserted in a wrong way (difficult to insert), it may damage the device
and the memory card. This is the user’s responsibility!
• The device will set the SD card automatically after it has been inserted.
• SD cards should be tested and formatted on a regular basis to extend the lifetime and
ensure reliable operation. Always format the SD card in the camera menu before first use!
• Copy the recorded files on the SD card to your PC on a regular basis to avoid loss of
important information.
