CAUTION
Ensure you are using your Dash Cam within your countries’ road laws. Please make sure you are

The values displayed in this system, such as speed, position, and the distance warning, may be
affected by the surrounding environment.
The system is to be used only for non-commercial use, within the limits permitted by the relevant
laws.
WiFi Signal is designed to be used in close proximity. The longest range of the WiFi signal is 10m.
WiFi Operation Channels List: Ch1~Ch11.
Avoid using the Dash Cam in the vicinity of any devices that emit radio interference (e.g..
Microwave Ovens).
Please note that other devices using 2.4GHz band may interfere with the WiFi signal of the Dash
Cam, and result in the connection speed of both devices slowing down.
