+ Changing the installation location of the product may result in a change in the camera angle. Adjust

the camera angle after installing the product and test the recorded images. Normal recording cannot be guaranteed if the product is wrongly installed.

COWON AW2

Before You Start!

+ Safety Precautions

+ Recording does not start when Auto Capsule is booting. Please drive safely after booting is complete.

+ This product is a device that uses a camera to record video as you drive, therefore, the quality of

the recorded videos may deteriorate when taken at the point of entering/exiting a tunnel, when the shadow contrast and counter light to the subject are severe in broad daylight, or when there is no light.

+ Install the product in an area that doesn't disrupt a driver's visibility. Otherwise, it may cause an

accident.

+ The backup battery is an expendable item, and its lifespan can be affected by the environment around

mechanical failure or electric shock.

4. Settings and Others

+ Avoid excessive car window tinting. It deteriorates the recording quality. The white balance of the video

may vary depending on the degree of tinting.

+ Always keep the front window clean and free from dust before recording to guarantee the most optimal

recording quality.

+ Foreign matters (e.g. ngerprints) on the lens of the black box may adversely affect the recorded

videos. Always keep the lens clean and free from dusts.

+ Use caution not to apply too much strength to the lens and the exterior of the black box, or a

mechanical failure may ensue.

Fix it to a bolt attached to the metal of the vehicle's body.

Red wire (BATT+)

Connect it to the uninterruptible power fuse of the vehicle's fuse box

(hazard asher, dome light, taillight, etc.)

* Uninterruptible power cable can be installed using wires from the fuse box inside the car. * In a high-temperature environment, this product will automatically stop recording to protect product functions.

* When recording is automatically stopped, the Purple LED will icker repeatedly, and if the temperature decreases,

operation will automatically resume.

COWON AW2

Basic Functions

+ Start Recording

When power is turned on, the LED status indicator will rotate in purple while the voice message announces the start-up of Auto Capsule. The LED indicator turns red while the voice message announces the start of driving mode recording; recording begins.

+ Driving Recording

When power is connected, the indicator LED turns red, the voice message announces driving mode recording, and recording begins.

Driving mode recording les are stored as normal les or event les.

+ Parking Recording

When the car engine is turned off and battery voltage drops to parking mode, the device’s driving mode recording stops and switches into a standby mode. It automatically starts recording for a certain period of time only when external impact or motion is detected.

+ End Recording

When the car engine is turned off or the power cable is unplugged during the operation of Auto

Capsule, the last recording le is stored using the backup battery and the device is powered off.

1) Uninterruptible power connection is needed for parking mode recording.

2) When “non-stop recording” mode is selected in the Settings menu, the product can stay in recording mode even when

the vehicle is parked.

3) The last recorded le may not be stored if backup battery is low.

COWON AW2

Basic Functions

+ Occurrence of Event

When one of the events described below takes place, it records for a total of 1 minute (including approximately 5 seconds before the occurrence of the event) and stores it as

an event (EVT) le.

1. When an impact is detected during driving/parking mode recording.

2. When the button is pressed once briey during driving/parking mode recording.

+ Motion Detection

When a motion is detected during parking mode recording, it records a total of 1 minute (including approximately 5 seconds before the moment of detection) and stores it as a

motion (MOT) le.

1) Go to Settings → Sound → Sound Recording and deselect Sound Recording by Button to activate

COWON AW2

Other Functions

+ Front and Rear View Recording Synchronization

In the ordinary recording status, the front and rear view cameras are synchronized by the front view camera setting. If one of the cameras stops recording due to high temperature protection or safe removal of memory card, then

the other camera autonomously runs by its own setting.

- Items like le name, recording le save cycle, parking voltage, and termination voltage are determined by the front view camera setting.

- Wi-Fi On/Off, Remote Monitoring On/Off, and Sound Recording by Button On/Off are always applied to both the front

and rear View cameras.

+ Auto Shutdown Timer

After parking recording commences, the device operates for a pre-set time, after which the power is turned off automatically.

Auto Shutdown Timer can be set through the Smart Manager and the PC Manager.

* Go to Settings → Recording → Auto Shutdown Timer

+ Setting Parking Mode Voltage

Parking mode voltage can be set through the Smart Manager and the PC Manager.

* Go to Settings → Recording → Set voltage

- Set the voltage value lower if the device goes into parking mode recording while driving.

- Set the voltage value higher if the device does not automatically go into parking mode recording while parked.

- If the output voltage of vehicle battery is higher or lower than the parking voltage setting range, then go to Settings → Record Setting → Parking Recording and turn off Use Parking Voltage. Afterward, the device detects the movement of the vehicle to start the parking recording.

COWON AW2

Other Functions

+ Setting Auto Shutdown Voltage

When battery voltage falls below the pre-set voltage value after going into parking mode recording, power is turned off automatically to protect the battery. Shutdown voltage value can be set through Smart Manager and PC Manager.

* Go to Settings → Recording → Setting Voltage

- When standby operation time becomes shorter in parking mode recording, set the range of auto shutdown voltage lower.

- The lower the pre-set voltage value, the longer the standby time in parking mode recording, and the higher the pre-set voltage value, the shorter the standby time in parking mode recording.

- If voltage falls below the pre-set auto shutdown voltage value during operation while auto shutdown timer is set, power is turned off regardless of the auto shutdown timer.

- If you do not wish to use the auto termination voltage setting feature, then go to Settings → Record Setting → Parking Recording and turn off Termination Voltage. If the auto termination voltage setting feature is not in use, then the vehicle battery may be discharged. This may result in a faulty ignition start or engine stop. It is recommended to only use this feature when absolutely necessary.

* Parking mode recording, auto parking mode voltage, and auto shutdown voltage settings are accessible only

during uninterruptible power connection.

* The lower the pre-set auto shutdown voltage value, the greater the risk of battery discharge; the higher the

pre-set auto shutdown voltage value, the more effective it is for preventing battery discharge. Set the voltage value to suit your vehicle battery condition before use.
