Method 2
: Connect the black ground wire to the vehicle’s chassis so that the wire
contacts the bare metal, for example, a metal bolt nearby.
Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, sometimes only one method will work.
When the black ground wire is connected correctly, the GV-Compact DVR will
automatically shut down 30 seconds after the car’s power is off. If the GV-Compact DVR
does not shut down 30 seconds after the car ignition is off, try to connect the black ground
wire using the other method.
4. Turn on the car ignition and the GV-Compact DVR should start automatically within 5
seconds. Turn off the car ignition and the GV-Compact DVR should shut down 30 seconds
after the car ignition is off.
