2.Getting Started

2.1Installation

Before installation, choose a location in the vehicle where it can:

•Provide convenient access for installing or removing the hard disk

•Allow air to flow around the fan vents. Inadequate or improper air flow can impede proper operation of the mobile DVR

Please avoid installing the mobile DVR to the following locations in the vehicle:

•That is subject to high vibration / sunlight levels

•That is subject to be drenched of the rain

•Where passengers can interfere with the mobile DVR

•Next to a heater duct

The following table lists the recommended location options in the vehicle:

	Location	Convenient	Easy to	Low	Good
		Operation	Install	Vibration	Air Flow
	Bottom of glove boxhorizontal mount	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Bottom of passenger seat next to the driver	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Underneath bulkhead-horizontal mount	Yes	Yes	No	Yes
	Front of bulkhead-horizontal mount	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
	Beside deriver seat-horizontal mount	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Note: Do not install the mobile DVR on the floor or on the transmission access hatch. These locations have the highest levels of vibration and may be subject to water damage.
