About this Guide The content in this document is for information purpose and is subject to change without prior notice. We have made every effort to ensure that this User Guide is accurate and complete. However, no liability is assumed for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. The manufacturer reserves the right to change the technical specifications without prior notice.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:The only regular maintenance required on a Dash Cam is formatting the Micro SD Card. Most problems encountered with Dash Cams are SD card related and not the Dash Cam itself.

For optimal performance of your Dash Cam and the SD card, it is recommended to format your SD Card monthly. It is also important to format your Micro SD card at first use via the camera menu.Due to the fragmented nature of the files produced, from constantly starting and stopping recordings, these partial files will clog up the SD card and may negative impact on recordings quality and the lifespan of the SD card.

It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review footage to check that videos and data is recording correctly.
