Installation
Location
To have a better view, try to install at the center of the windshield. Make
sure the lens is located in a place where the windshield wiper can clean the
window to ensure view is clear.
Make sure the device is not installed in a place where it will interfere with the
safety bag. Make sure the GPS will not be obstructed by the windshield’s sun
control lm (window tint).
Installing the Mount onto the Windshield
1. Slide the sticker mount bracket into the device bracket slot and make sure
it ts tightly.
2. Clean the area you desire to have the dash cam placed before sticking the
device.
3. Peel off the sticker protective lm from the 3M sticker
4. Press and apply force on the mount onto the windshield behind the rear-
view mirror.
5. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera by loosening the screw of the
bracket and fasten it back to secure the viewing angle. We recommend the
camera should point slightly downwards ~10° below eye level.
GPS Reception information
Surrounded with tall buildings, in a tunnel or poor weather conditions may
result in poor GPS reception or even lose GPS signal. Over-tinting or a rain
sensor on the windshield can affect GPS reception.
If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the
installation spot of your dash camera. For the rst time use, it takes about
15~20 minutes to get GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3
minutes.
NOTE
Sticker mount is difcult to remove after it is installed and will
not stick well on a curved/textured or wet surface.
NOTE
Do not install the product in a location where it can obstruct
the driver’s eld of vision.
Micro SD Card
NOTE
A compatible micro SD card (not supplied) has to be inserted
before you start using the unit. Ensure that the unit is turned off
before inserting or removing the micro SD card.
The device can support micro SDHC cards (High Capacity SD) up to 32GB in
capacity. A micro SDHC card of at least 8GB capacity and minimum speed of
Class 10 is recommended.
Insert a formatted micro SD card gently in the slot at the side of the unit. To
remove the card from the slot, press the edge of the micro SD card inwards

It is important to format the micro SD card before using it, so as to avoid any
