Caution
Due to local laws and vehicles safety considerations, do not

The many Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features of
this Car Camcorder are for reference only. It is important to note
that these feature will not control your vehicle to prevent accidents.
It is the responsibility of the driver to obey traffic laws and maintain
control of the vehicle.
The results of GPS positioning are only for reference, and should
not affect the actual driving situation. GPS position accuracy may
have variation depending on system settings or external
conditions.
GPS positioning accuracy may differ depending on weather and
location such as high buildings, tunnels, undergrounds, or forests.
GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except
glass). Tinted window may affect the performance of the GPS
satellite reception.
GPS reception performance on each camcorder may differ. The
system cannot determine the accuracy of the positioning results
from different camcorders.
The values displayed in this system, such as speed, position, and
the distance warning to the speed camera set points, may be
inaccurate due to the influence of surrounding environment. They
are for your reference only.
The system is used only for non-commercial use, within the
maximum limits permitted by applicable law. Our company does
not accept any responsibility for any data loss during the operation.
Wi-Fi Signals are unable to pass through the building. The upper
limit of signal transmission is 10m.
Wi-Fi Operation Channels List: Ch1~Ch11.
The product employs wireless data communication which may
interfere, or be interfered by, a near-by camcorder.
Never use this camcorder in the vicinity of a microwave oven or at
places where there is radio interference.
Radio wave reception may be worsened in specific environments.
Please be advised that if another camcorder is also using the same
2.4GHz band as this product, the processing speed of both
camcorders may slow down.
This product gets warm when in use; this is normal.
Improper use or operation of the product may result in damage of
the product or its accessories and void the warranty.
The radio frequency (RF) generated by this RF electronic camcorder
may cause adverse effects on the operation of other electronic
camcorders and result in malfunctioning. Wireless transmitters and
7
circuitry may also interfere with other electronic camcorders.
Before you start using the system, it is assumed that you
agree to the above statement.
Therefore, do observe the following precautions:
• Aircraft: Never use a radio transmitter when you are in an
airplane. Please switch off the Wi-Fi function of the
camcorder.
• Vehicle: The radio frequency transmitted by this camcorder
may affect the electronic system in a motorized vehicle.
Please consult the manufacturer or dealer of your vehicle on
the possible effect.
• Pacemaker: In order to prevent any potential interference to a
pacemaker, anyone who uses a pacemaker should be advised,
that, when using this camcorder, a minimum distance of 15cm
(6 inch) should be kept between the camcorder and the
pacemaker; and never put this camcorder in a chest pocket. In
case of any doubt of interference, switch off the camcorder
immediately.
• Medical Camcorder: If you use a personal medical camcorder,
consult the camcorder manufacturer or your physician to
confirm if your camcorder is sufficiently shielded from the RF
transmission of this camcorder.
• Medical Facilities: Hospitals and medical institutes may use
facilities that are sensitive to an external RF energy. Observe
such instructions when the medical care personnel or any
posted sign requests you to switch off any camcorder that
may interfere the radio frequency.
• Explosion sites or any location with a posted sign: In order to
prevent interfering with an explosion activity, observe all the
signage and instructions in the Explosion Area or in a zone
with a “Switch Off 2-way Radios” sign by switching off
camcorders that may interfere with the radio frequency.
