• This equipment is normally used in an ambient temperature range of -20°C to
65°C. Exceeding this temperature range may cause product malfunction, fire, or
explosion.

• If the battery has abnormal temperature, deformation, discolouration, or liquid
leakage during use, charging or storage, discontinue use of the product
immediately and contact Kogan.com for assistance.

• If the product is directly connected to the car power supply system, do not use the
product for an extended period without the engine running, as this may drain the
car battery.

video” button, the recorder will enter the emergency video state. Once the recording is
complete, enter playback to view the recorded file. The captured video file will not be
overwritten.

Parking Monitor

• This function can be enabled through the settings menu. Parking monitoring is

and enter “emergency video” mode. The recording time is 15s and the captured

abbreviated as “one-second shooting”.

automatically.

TROUBLESHOOTING

a. Does not start after the car starts

Ensure that power is being passed to the device correctly.

b. Unable to take photos

Check if the TF card is inserted, damaged, or possibly corrupt. Re-insert the TF
card or reformat it if issues persist. Replace the TF card if formatting is ineffective.

c. Crashes, stopping or restarting during video recording

Due to the storage requirements of HD video data, ensure to use SDHC
compatible high-speed TF cards with the C10 (class 10) logo. Use the dashcam or a
PC to format the card before use. The maximum supported TF card size is 32GB.
Click the reset button to restart the device.

d. When playing back pictures or videos, a "File Error" prompt appears

An error has occurred while storing the data, causing a file error. Use the camera's
"Format" function to reformat the TF card.

e. Images or videos are foggy or unclear

The lens is likely obscured; check the lens for artefacts and fingerprints. Wipe the
lens clean with lens paper before shooting.

f. Horizontal stripes in the image or video

This is due to the wrong power supply frequency; ensure the local power supply
frequency is set to “50Hz” or “60Hz”.
