Note
y
The recording LED blinks while recording (default setting) and the GPS LED is on when a GPS signal is received. There are 3
recording modes: Normal, Event and Parking. The dashcam starts recording in normal mode, switches to event mode when an
impact is detected, and switches to parking mode if the vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes.

When you run the dashcam for the rst time the rmware is automatically loaded onto the microSD card. After the rmware
has been loaded onto the microSD card you can customize settings using BlackVue Viewer on a computer.
Turn o the engine. The dashcam will automatically stop recording and power down. To record in parking mode while the engine
is o please install a Power Magic Pro (sold separately). A Power Magic Pro powers your dashcam when the engine is o by
hardwiring it to the automotive battery. A low voltage power cut-o function and a parking mode timer protect the automotive
battery from discharge.
