15Basics022-6-3. Dual SaveTM (Internal Memory Backup)X Dual Save is a Thinkware proprietary technology that utilizes built-in memory as secure backup in addition to MicroSDmemory card. Dual Save technology guarantees incident video recording using internal memo-ry in case of an accident that causes damage to the MicroSD memory card.⵹ Press and hold REC button and Voice Recording ( ) button at the same time for 3 seconds to copy inci-dent recording from MicroSD memory card to internal Dual Save memory.⵹ When Dual Save is activated, it will immediately store the previous 4 seconds prior to impact and start recording video for next 2 seconds for total of 6 second video clip. Dual Save technology saves duplicate copy of recorded video for secure backup to the internal memory so the internal memory life span may be aected by G-sensor user setting, road conditions, and driving behaviorwhich directly impact frequency of incident recordings. Driving over sspeed bumps, manholes, or uneven roads at high speeds can also be detected as an impact and may trigger incident recording. Professional product service is required when replacing the internal memory. CautionsOGreen light blinkingOperation Status LED
