Precautions and notices
For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.
A window mount is needed when using the recorder in a car. Make sure that you
place the recorder in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver’s view or
deployment of airbags.
Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reflective material
appears near the lens. Please keep the lens clean.
If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a coating, it may impact the recording quality.
GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for the
performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the accuracy of all
GPS equipment.
GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When you
are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available. Signal reception can
be affected by situations such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees,
tunnels, viaducts and tall buildings).
The GPS positioning data is for reference only.

Inserting a memory card
CAUTION: Do not apply pressure to the centre of the memory card.
You have to insert a memory card before you can start recording.
The recorder supports MicroSD cards with up to 32GB capacity. You are advised to use a
Class 6 memory card with at least 8GB capacity.
Hold the card (MicroSD) by the edges and gently insert it into
the slot with the label facing the camera lens of your Mio.
To remove a card, gently push the top edge of the card inwards
to release it, and pull it out of the slot.
Note: Mio Technology does not guarantee the product’s
compatibility with MicroSD cards from all manufacturers.
Note: Before you start recording, please format the MicroSD card to avoid malfunction
caused by files not created by MiVue 388. You can format the card on your computer or
on MiVue 388 (pressing the Menu key and then select the format feature).
Using your recorder in a vehicle
CAUTION:
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place
the device where the driver’s field of vision is blocked.
If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic and
impact the GPS reception. In this instance, please mount your device where there
is a “clear area.”
DO NOT insert or remove the memory card when operating the recorder.

To ensure the optimal recording angle, pay attention to the following:
1. Make sure that your car is parked on a level ground.
8
2. When adjusting the angle of mounting, make sure that the camera’s view is parallel
with the level ground, and the ground/sky ratio is close to 6/4.
Use cable clips to secure the power cord so that it does not interfere with driving. To
ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the recorder near the rear
view mirror.
Connecting to an external device
For a better viewing experience, you can connect the recorder to an external viewing
device that supports the High Definition (HD) feature via a HD cable (not supplied).
Operating basics
CAUTION: DO NOT remove or insert the memory card while recording.
Connect the recorder to the car charger according to the installation instructions in the
previous “Using your recorder in a vehicle” section.
Turning the recorder ON and OFF
Once the vehicle engine is started, the recorder automatically turns on. By default, the
recording will start right after the recorder turns on.
When a GPS fix is established, the icon will show on the top-right corner of the
screen. The number of the vertical bars in the icon indicates the strength of the signal.
When the vehicle engine is turned off, the recorder automatically saves the recording. By
default, the recorder will turn off immediately.
To manually turn the recorder on and off, press and hold the Power key for 2 seconds.

Hardware reset
Occasionally, you may need to perform a hardware reset when the recorder stops
responding; or appears to be “frozen” or “locked-up.”
To perform a hardware reset, press and hold the Power key for 5 seconds.
Setting the date and time
To make sure of the correct date and time for your recordings, please check the date and
time settings before you begin recording.
1. Press the Menu key to access the Settings menu.
2. Select Date / Time and press the OK key.
3. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to adjust the value and press the OK key.
4. Repeat Step 3 until all fields have been changed.
Recording in driving mode
Continuous recording
When you connect the car charger to the cigarette lighter in the car, the recorder will start
continuous recording automatically. The recording may be divided into several video clips;
recording will not stop between video clips.
The recorder automatically stops and saves the recording when the vehicle engine is
turned off. If you want to stop recording manually, press the ▼ key.
When recording is not in progress, you can manually start the continuous recording at any
time by pressing the OK key. To stop recording, press the ▼ key.
The continuous recordings can be found in the “Video” category for file playback.
