Basic operation. The Dash Cam is set to record video, in files 1 minute in length. This means that each video file is a manageable size should you need to download and send to your insurance company. Eventually your MicroSD card will fill up with video files but don't worry, the camera automatically deletes the oldest file to make space for new recordings. This way you never run out of space and have plenty of driving historical evidence saved. Typically, a 16Gb card will store the last 2 hours of driving footage. Automatic Start / Stop Technology. The Dash Cam senses power supplied to the cigarette lighter socket as soon as the vehicle ignition is turned on and will start to record automatically. When the ignition is turned off, the Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process. 1. Tips for capturing best video footage: 1.1 Position the Dash Cam in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view mirror so it is not an obstruction to the driver's field of view 1.2 Reduce the amount of sky in the picture, by angling the view of the camera towards the road. Too much sky will make the road appear darker due to the automatic exposure compensation. 1.3 Remove unnecessary items from your dashboard. If objects are placed on your dashboard these can cause reflections to be seen on the windscreen and these reflections may be captured during recording. 2. Tips for stable memory card performance: 2.1 Periodically format the memory card. Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you reformat the memory card. This will wipe any files from the card and set it up afresh for continued use with your Dash Cam. Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from the card that you may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content. 2.1 Format your memory card using the Dash Cam, this will make sure that the card is structured specifically for your camera. 2.2 Switch off the Dash Cam before removing or inserting the SD memory card, to prevent the chance of damage being caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it.

Apply mount to windscreen Lightly press the mount against the windscreen and double check that the image as seen upon the smartphone / tablet is correct. Make any adjustments if required, prior to pressing the Dash Cam firmly against the windscreen to ensure that the 3M tape is securely attached. 10. Adjust lens position as required If any final adjustments to the lens position are required, then gently rotate the lens to the desired position using finger pressure, taking care not to touch the glass element of the lens itself. 17 IN VEHICLE INSTALLATION (CONTD.) Route the supplied car power cable (as shown) and connect it to the DC-IN socket of the mount. 12-24V DC The above diagram is for illustration purposes only. The Dash Cam will automatically power on and start recording once power is available. In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the Dash Cam will power on once the ignition has been turned on. If the vehicle in which the Dash Cam is installed has permanent live cigarette lighter sockets, the user can simply use the power button to switch the Dash Cam off when the vehicle stops. To take advantage of the Automatic Start / Stop Technology a Nextbase Hardwire Kit can be installed on a switched-live power supply. The Nextbase Hardwire Kit includes the necessary 12-24Vdc to 5Vdc convertor and battery protection circuitry. Should your vehicle not have a 12-24Vdc outlet, but does have a 5Vdc USB Outlet, this can be used instead. Connect the USB cable supplied with your Dash Cam in place of the car power cable. Note: - Do NOT wire the Dash Cam directly to a 12V supply by cutting the cigarette plug off the end of the cable, or damage will result. 18 IN VEHICLE INSTALLATION (CONTD.) Please read and follow the notes below for the safe operation of your Dash Cam within your vehicle. As per the installation instructions, you must install the camera so it does NOT obstruct the drivers view of the road, preferably behind the rear view mirror. Whilst the Dash Cam clearly needs to view through the windscreen in an area swept by the windscreen wipers, the Dash Cam should be installed so as not to intrude significantly within the wiped area. A 40mm intrusion into the green wiped area is the maximum permitted by law. Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of the driver directly, as depicted by the red area in the above illustration. When installing the Dash Cam in a vehicle, always place the device securely against the windscreen and where possible conceal the power cable under trim. Make sure that the Dash Cam power cable does not interfere with the drivers operating controls, such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear levers. Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of an airbag field of deployment or in a position to obscure any mirrors. Clean the windscreen at the point of location, prior to fitting the Dash Cam, to ensure absolute adhesion. It is recommended NOT to operate the Dash Cam whilst driving. The automatic Start-Stop technology incorporated within the device negates any need to operate the controls whilst driving. Note: - Adjust any settings or review recordings using the DriveGuard™ APP, whilst stationery, not whilst driving. - Only use your smartphone / tablet whilst stationery, not whilst driving.
