Automotive HD Video Recorder
Automotive HD Video Recorder
OPERATION
• With a new (blank or pre-configured) or freshly configured Micro SD 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.
• For GPS - equipped units, note that 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 Micro 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 Micro SD card can be properly
read, and its files viewed using the CYL-V Player program.
• If the card cannot be read, or accessed by the PC, then the card is defective and it should be
replaced. If so, insert a new Micro SD 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 significantly 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 Micro SD card.
• Video files may be played by either of the following two methods:
• Remove the SD card and insert the card into a PC or laptop
• Connect the data cable from the Recorder to a PC or laptop
