3. Installation and Operation

+ Changing the installation location of the product may result in a change in the camera angle. Adjust

the camera angle after installing the product and test the recorded images. Normal recording cannot

be guaranteed if the product is wrongly installed.

+ Safety Precautions

Before You Start!

COWON AW2

+ Recording does not start when Auto Capsule is booting. Please drive safely after booting is complete.

+ This product is a device that uses a camera to record video as you drive, therefore, the quality of

the recorded videos may deteriorate when taken at the point of entering/exiting a tunnel, when the

shadow contrast and counter light to the subject are severe in broad daylight, or when there is no light.

+ Install the product in an area that doesn't disrupt a driver's visibility. Otherwise, it may cause an

accident.

+ The backup battery is an expendable item, and its lifespan can be affected by the environment around

it. Replace it with a new one when operation becomes unstable.

+ Do not spray water or wax directly onto the product when cleaning the inside of a car. It may cause

mechanical failure or electric shock.

4. Settings and Others

+ Avoid excessive car window tinting. It deteriorates the recording quality. The white balance of the video

may vary depending on the degree of tinting.

+ Always keep the front window clean and free from dust before recording to guarantee the most optimal

recording quality.

+ Foreign matters (e.g. ngerprints) on the lens of the black box may adversely affect the recorded

videos. Always keep the lens clean and free from dusts.

+ Use caution not to apply too much strength to the lens and the exterior of the black box, or a

mechanical failure may ensue.

+ Front and Rear View Recording Synchronization

Other Functions

- Items like le name, recording le save cycle, parking voltage, and termination voltage are determined by the front

view camera setting.

- Wi-Fi On/Off, Remote Monitoring On/Off, and Sound Recording by Button On/Off are always applied to both the front

and rear View cameras.

+ Setting Parking Mode Voltage

Parking mode voltage can be set through the Smart Manager and the PC Manager.

* Go to Settings → Recording → Set voltage

- Set the voltage value lower if the device goes into parking mode recording while driving.

- Set the voltage value higher if the device does not automatically go into parking mode recording while parked.

- If the output voltage of vehicle battery is higher or lower than the parking voltage setting range, then go

to Settings → Record Setting → Parking Recording and turn off Use Parking Voltage. Afterward, the device

detects the movement of the vehicle to start the parking recording.

+ Auto Shutdown Timer

After parking recording commences, the device operates for a pre-set time, after which the power is turned off

automatically.

Auto Shutdown Timer can be set through the Smart Manager and the PC Manager.

* Go to Settings → Recording → Auto Shutdown Timer

In the ordinary recording status, the front and rear view cameras are synchronized by the front view camera

setting.

the other camera autonomously runs by its own setting.

COWON AW2

+ Setting Auto Shutdown Voltage

Other Functions

When battery voltage falls below the pre-set voltage value after going into parking mode recording,

power is turned off automatically to protect the battery.

Shutdown voltage value can be set through Smart Manager and PC Manager.

* Go to Settings → Recording → Setting Voltage

- When standby operation time becomes shorter in parking mode recording, set the range of auto

shutdown voltage lower.

- The lower the pre-set voltage value, the longer the standby time in parking mode recording, and the

higher the pre-set voltage value, the shorter the standby time in parking mode recording.

- If voltage falls below the pre-set auto shutdown voltage value during operation while auto shutdown

timer is set, power is turned off regardless of the auto shutdown timer.

- If you do not wish to use the auto termination voltage setting feature, then go to Settings →

Record Setting → Parking Recording and turn off Termination Voltage. If the auto termination

voltage setting feature is not in use, then the vehicle battery may be discharged. This may

result in a faulty ignition start or engine stop. It is recommended to only use this feature when

absolutely necessary.

* Parking mode recording, auto parking mode voltage, and auto shutdown voltage settings are accessible only
