and the outside simultaneously. In addition to acting as a standard dashboard camera,
d’Action 360 is able to simultaneously record both the road around you, and scenes
from inside the vehicle. The camera automatically begins operation in Driving mode
when power is supplied via your car’s cigarette lighter receptacle.

your car. Just as if it were a handheld camcorder, enjoy shooting simple video and
capturing stills using the camera’s recording capabilities. The camera automatically
switches to Action mode upon attachment of the Battery Pack (DC1).
In Security mode, d’Action 360 keeps your parked car under surveillance. From keyings
to hit-and-runs, d’Action 360 can record all the accidental or intentional moments that

Capturing images/videos in Driving mode
Capturing images/videos
By turning on your car engine (turning on the ignition), the camera is
automatically switched on to begin continuous recording.
Ensure all LEDs are on within a few seconds of starting the engine.
*It may take up to 30 seconds for the camera to begin recording after being switched on.
Turning on the engine to switch on the camera
In Driving mode, the four types of recording modes can be used as follows.
On the memory card, one folder will be created for each recording mode. Captured/recorded files are
recorded in their respective folder together with geotagging (geographical identification metadata).
●Capturing scenery
●Capturing the inside
of your car
■Manual Recording
The camera starts and stops recording either by pushing the record
button on the camera body, or by switching it on using
your smartphone. One file is saved every minute. When the folder
becomes full, the camera stops recording automatically.
■Impact Recording
When the camera detects an impact, it stores the footage from 10 seconds
before and 10 seconds after (20 seconds total). When the folder becomes full,
the most recently saved file overwrites the oldest file. *The manual recording mode supersedes
the impact recoding; in the manual mode, the camera will not record any footage even if an impact is detected.
■Still image capture
The camera takes one still image by switching it on using your smartphone.
While the folder is full, you cannot take any more still images.
*You cannot take any still images by pushing the button on the camera body.
*You cannot take any still images while the camera is in manual recording mode.
*You cannot take any 4K equivalent still images while the camera is in driving mode.
■Continuous recording
The camera records video continuously from the moment
the car engine is turned on until it is turned off. One file is
saved every minute. When the folder becomes full, the most
recently saved file overwrites the oldest file.
*The camera will not record continuously in manual recording mode.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
- The provided shielded USB cables must be used for connection to computer or
peripherals in order to meet FCC emission limits and RF interference suppression.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe.
Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure
of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects.
Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
d’Action 360 (DC3000) has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
