2. Using your dash cam in a vehicle
Note:
The dash cam should be placed near the rear-view mirror to ensure the highest video quality.
For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving. Using this product does
not exempt the driver from taking full responsibility for his/her driving behaviour, which includes observ-
ing all traffic rules and safety regulations.
Make sure the dash cam is mounted at a location that does not obstruct the driver’s view or airbag
deployment.
Make sure that the camera lens is not blocked and no reflective material appears near the lens. Please
keep the lens clean.
Video quality may degrade if the vehicle's windscreen is tinted.
The system will automatically calibrate the G-sensor during start-up. If the device's viewing angle or
installation position was changed from the original position after start-up, please turn the device off and
on again to recalibrate the G-sensor. Otherwise the G-sensor may malfunction and impact other features
of the device such as event-driven recording.
The dash cam is designed to stay connected with the vehicle power adapter to ensure optimal perfor-
mance. The internal battery is designed as a backup power source for short-term use only. It allows
the dash cam to save the last recording in case the vehicle's power system fails during an incident. The
internal battery is not to be used as the primary power source for prolonged periods. Battery life may
vary under different conditions.
Mounting the dash cam
Before attaching the device mount to the windscreen, it is recommended to clean the windscreen with rubbing alcohol
and make sure that the installation area is free of dust, oil and grease.
Make sure your car is parked on level ground and follow the steps below to securely mount your dash cam in a vehicle.
A
C
B
Note:
When adjusting the viewing angle, make sure that the camera’s view is parallel with the level ground and the
ground/sky ratio is close to 6/4.
Connect the vehicle power adapter to the cigarette lighter. Route the cables through the top ceiling and the A-pillar so
that it does not interfere with driving. Make sure that the cable installation does not interfere with the vehicles airbags or
other safety features.
Note:
The installation illustrations are for reference only. Device and cable placement may vary depending on
the vehicle model. If you encounter any problems during installation, contact a skilled installer (such as the service
personnel of the vehicle) for assistance.
Function keys
The four function keys control the corresponding icons displayed on the LCD screen. Key functions may vary
depending on the current screen and features enabled.
User Interface

3. Using a memory card
In order to record video footage, Navman MiVue dash cameras need a microSD. It is very important to use a microSD
card specifically designed to be used in dash cameras. It will ensure the card will be more reliable and last longer; the
wrong type of card has a greater chance of failing, even after a short period of time. Please visit www.navman.com.au/
memory-card for more information on recommended SD cards.
To insert the SD card, hold its edges and gently insert it into the slot as shown in the illustration.
To remove a card, gently push the top edge of the card inwards to release it and pull it out of
the slot.
Formatting a card
To format the memory card (all data will be erased), press
>
Format
.
Note:
DO NOT apply pressure to the centre of the memory card.
Navman cannot guarantee product compatibility with memory cards from all manufacturers. Please always
check the specifications/warranty to ensure the memory card can be used in dash cameras and loop recording
devices.
Please format the memory card to avoid recording errors caused by missing system files or folders.
You may need to format your memory card periodically to ensure it remains in good working condition.
You should use separate MicroSD cards for the dash cam and other electronic products (such as a digital
camera).
You are advised to turn the device off before removing the memory card.
Important microSD card information
The minimum requirement for Navman dash cameras is a Class 10/UHS 1 Micro SD card.
Only use a micro SD card that is specially designed and built for high intensity recording devices such as Dash Cameras
and Security Cameras, using a micro SD card that isn’t designed to be used in high intensity recording devices will greatly
increase the chances of memory corruption resulting in freezing problems with your device and even worse, the loss of
precious video recordings.
Navman have tested the following cards:
– Sandisk High Endurance
– Samsung Pro Endurance
– Kingston Endurance
We can confirm they are suitable for our devices.
Always format your micro SD card on a monthly basis to keep the memory card in good health For more information on
recommended and compatible MicroSD Cards, please visit www.navman.com.au/memory-card
4. Turning the dash cam on/off
Complete the installation according to the instructions in the “Using your dash cam in a vehicle” section. Once the
vehicle engine is started, the dash cam will turn on automatically.
Shutting down the dash cam
Occasionally you may need to perform a hardware reset when the dash cam stops responding or if it appears to be
“frozen” or unresponsive. To shut down the dash cam, press and hold the Power button until the system powers off.
If you cannot turn the dash cam off by using the Power button, insert a small pin (such as a
straightened paper clip) into the Shutdown button to shut down the dash cam.
5. Setting the date and time
The system date and time must be correct in order for the videos to display accurate timestamps. The date and time can
be configured by pressing
>
Date/Time
and using the buttons on the bottom to adjust each value.
6. Recording videos while driving
Continuous recording
Continuous recording will automatically commence shortly after the system is powered up. The system indicator will flash
while recording is in progress. Recording can be paused by pressing
. Press
to return to the recording screen
and resume recording.
Videos taken during continuous recording are divided into multiple clips and saved under the "Normal" folder,
but recording will not stop between video clips. Once the folder has reached its allocated capacity, the system will
automatically record over the oldest video saved under this folder.
Event-driven recording
During continuous recording, if a sudden event has been detected, such as running over a road bump, vehicle collision,
high-speed driving, or making a sharp turn, the G-sensor will prompt the dash cam to record the event.
Note:
The sensitivity level of the G-sensor can be adjusted by going to
>
G-sensor Sensitivity.
The actual recording will begin when an event has been detected and continue for 30 seconds. Event-driven recordings
are saved in the "Event" folder. Once the folder has reached its allocated capacity, the system will automatically record
over the oldest video saved under this folder. You can also press
to manually activate event-driven or emergency
recording while continuous recording is in progress.
