Using a MicroSD Card

The camera doesn’t include internal storage and requires a microSD

card (Class 10+ recommended and 128GB Max supported) to

function. A 128GB microSD card should store over 16 hours of 1080p recordings. Use a high-quality, branded card for maximum reliability.

Insert a microSD card into the camera microSD card slot. Later, when

the camera is powered on, format it (‘Format’ option in Dash Camera ‘Setup’) to prepare the card for first use in the dash camera.

Formatting will permanently erase any data on the micro SD card. For best performance, format periodically (after backing up any

important files). ‘Format Warning’ in ‘Settings’ can be switched on to

remind you to do this.

Installation & Powering On/Off

For optimal performance, install the AUKEY DRA1 in the top-center of your windshield facing directly ahead. Use the cable clips to help fix

the power cable conveniently and safely like in the picture below.

Caution: AUKEY is not responsible for any damage caused to or by

the air bag due to incorrect placement of the device or its cables.

To power on, insert the car charger into your car’s 12V outlet. After

powering on each time you start your car, the system will start recording automatically. To power off, disconnect the car charger.

Note: Use the included car charger to ensure optimum performance

of AUKEY DRA1.
