GETTING STARTED

A. POWER ON/OFF

1. Turning ON: Connect the Guardo DASHCAM PRO to the Duo USB car charger (18) using the USB charging cable (19). The device will automatically turn ON and you will

hear “Guardo ON”. As soon as the car engine is started, the recording will start. The DASHCAM will now be powered during recording.

When the car charger is disconnected from the unit, the DASHCAM will shut down

automatically and save the les.

2. Turning OFF: Press and hold the Power button (3) for 3 seconds. You will hear “Driven

When the device has been turned OFF, short press the Power button (3) to turn it ON

again.

Note:

• It is also possible to charge the Guardo DASHCAM PRO by connecting it to your PC/

notebook using the USB cable (19). See page 10 before making the connection.

• The built-in battery is only used to save the last le when the power is disconnected

or for short time operation. If the battery is low, you will hear “Low battery” and see the

red LED indicator (5). We strongly suggest to always connect the device to the Guardo

car charger during use in the car/truck.

• Some car power outlets do not shut off when the car ignition is turned off. Keeping the Guardo DASHCAM PRO connected to such power outlet might cause the car battery to discharge.

B. USE OF THE SD CARD (not supplied, optionally available)

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (DAS) BY AMBARELLA

The Guardo DASHCAM PRO is developed to improve your safety and aids you in alerting you to hazards and dangerous driving behavior. Mounted on the windshield of your car, the DASHCAM gives sound and voice warnings when your vehicle begins to stray from its lane or when a crash is imminent. Such advanced technologies that once were only available in

luxury cars, are now at your disposal in this compact Super HD dashboard camera.

1. Lane Departure Warning System

The LDW system is designed to warn you when your vehicle begins to stray from its lane

by detecting the road markings ahead. It prevents accidents effectively by addressing the main causes of collisions: drowsiness and distractions.

Enable LDWS in the camera menu (default = ON). When your vehicle strays from its

lane, you will hear a warning beep and a yellow triangle symbol will appear on the left side of the screen.

This function only works when:

* Driving speed is higher than 60km/h. + GPS function is activated (See page 17) +

automatic calibration has been completed (can take up to 5 min.)

* Lane line indications are clear enough for accurate detection: When the system

cannot detect clear lane markings (f.e. due to weather conditions like fog, snow, heavy

rain and dark night roads or low/high sun positions), the warning will possibly not activate.

2. Front Collision Warning System

The FCW system detects the vehicle ahead and enables sound or voice warnings

to alert you and to remind you to keep an appropriate distance or perform an early braking maneuver prior to collision.

Enable FCWS in the camera menu (default = ON). When your vehicle is too close to the

vehicle in front, you will hear a vocal warning “Too Close” and a yellow triangle symbol will appear on the left side of the screen.

This function only works when:

* Driving speed is higher than 30~40 km/h. + GPS function is activated (See page 17)

3. Front Car Moving Detection

The FCMD system detects the vehicle ahead and informs you when it’s moving off.

Handy whilst being distracted in front of a red trafc light or when stuck in a trafc

jam. The DASHCAM will promptly send you a warning signal to start driving again.

Enable FCMD in the camera menu (default = ON). When the vehicle in front of you is

moving, you will hear a vocal warning “Front Car”.

This function only works when:

* Your vehicle is standing still + GPS function is activated (See page 17)

Note: Sometimes warnings may be mistakenly detected, causing a false warning.

4. Low Light Warning System

The LLW system evaluates the lightning conditions in which you are driving, and will

remind you to turn the head lights on in case of insufcient light or less than optimal

driving circumstances.

Enable LLWS in the camera menu (default = ON). When it is getting dark outside, you

will hear a vocal warning “Low Light”.

Note: Sometimes warnings may be mistakenly detected, causing a false warning.

-15-

IMPORTANT!

The operation of above mentioned functions depends strongly on factors that cannot be controlled by Guardo and Ambarella since it is a passive system. Each passive system has its limitations and the Guardo DASHCAM PRO cannot prevent accidents from happening. Please drive safe and attentive at all times! The Driver Assistance System only acts as a helpful and reliable aid while driving. It is the drivers responsibility to take appropriate actions on the road.

The below factors can affect LDWS, FCWS, FCMD functions:

• Condition of the road and lane indications (unexpected roadworks...)

• Weather conditions (snow, fog, rain, splash water...)

• Light conditions during day/night (low sun, direct sunlight, wet road surface reections,

shadows, night lights...)

• Vehicle speed

• Car’s headlight type & operation (Normal, Xenon, LED, Laser) …

• Installation position (See page 7)

• Strength of the GPS signal (See page 17)

! This list is not exhaustive, it only mentions a small selection of the most common factors that affect DAS functions.

Note: After setting DAS, it is normal if the device restarts.

GPS WITH GOOGLE & GUARDO DATA LOGGER

The Guardo DASHCAM PRO has a built-in GPS function in the suction cup holder and is compatible with the free Google Maps and Guardo data logging software. It can precisely pinpoint the driving speed of your car, location and routes on the map.

1. lf the GPS bracket is not installed, a white GPS signal icon is shown in the top right corner of the screen and the DAS system will be deactivated and not functioning.

2. Install the GPS bracket and turn ON the Guardo DASHCAM PRO.

3. The GPS will try to establish a connection with the GPS satellites. This can take some

time (the GPS icon remains white). It can take up to several minutes to get a xed

GPS location.

4. As soon as the connection to the GPS satellites has been established, the GPS icon

will turn green and you will hear “GPS xed”. The more green bars, the stronger the

GPS signal is.

Note: We suggest not to drive until the GPS position is xed, especially at rst time use.

5. The Guardo DASHCAM PRO is now able to execute a reliable positioning, and all GPS functions are available, just like the DAS system.

Note:

• GPS signal reception might be affected by the presence of metal windshield and/

or other electronic devices in the car, by weather conditions, high buildings and geographical surroundings.

• System time of the Guardo DASHCAM PRO will automatically be set to the current

time zone.

• GPS information will automatically be imported to video les when recording.

GUARDO GPS PLAYER

When you playback your video footage on PC or MAC, you can watch Google maps

simultaneously (when connected online) and see your location moving around.

1. Insert a SD/TF card into the Guardo DASHCAM PRO, if not already done before.

2. The Guardo GPS player setup le will generate automatically in the SD card. You can

now connect the device with the PC and nd the Installation Setup le Guardo Player

in the folder ’Guardo GPS Player’.

3. For Windows: Double-click Guardo_Player.exe to install and use.

For MAC OS: Run the le Guardo_Player.pkg. You will need QuickTime to play the le(s). Make sure you have this program installed

or download from www.apple.com.
