STEP 1

Install and power up

Install the front camera behind the rear view mirror. Install the rear camera externally at
the top of the back of the truck.

Warning

yDo not install the product in a location where it can obstruct the driver's eld of

vision.

Turn o the engine.

Peel o the protective lm from the double-sided tape and attach the front camera
to the windshield behind the rear-view mirror.

Adjust the angle of the lens by rotating the body of the front camera. We
recommend pointing the lens slightly downwards (≈10° below horizontal), so as to
record video with a 6:4 road to background ratio.

10 BLACKVUE

Fasten the rear camera mounting bracket using the included screws to the top of
the back of the vehicle.

Connect the front camera ('Rear' port) and the rear camera ('V out') using the rear
camera connection cable.

Note

yIf the waterproof coaxial cable is mounted externally, we recommend covering it

to secure it in place and protect it against the elements.

Plug the power cord into the cigarette lighter socket and the front camera.

power cord.

Turn on the engine. The BlackVue dashcam will power up and start recording. Video
files are stored on the microSD card. When the microSD card fills up, the newest
video les will start to replace the oldest video les (called loop recording) – so you
will always have the most recent video les.

Note

yThe 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.

yWhen you run the dashcam for the rst time the rmware is automatically loaded

onto the microSD card. After the firmware has been loaded onto the microSD
card you can customize settings using BlackVue Viewer on a computer.

Turn off the engine. The dashcam will automatically stop recording and power
down. To record in parking mode while the engine is off please install a Power

Magic Battery Pack (sold separately) or 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.
