MICRO SD CARD REQUIREMENTS

The NAVCAM-616GPS requires a Micro SD card (not included) to record video/image content. For
optimal performance, we recommend using a Class 10 micro SD card UHS 3 (minimum) to ensure
fast data transfer rates

Note: Some “Extreme Speed” class 10 UHS 2 cards will not work correctly with the
NAVCAM-616GPS. Other low speed cards are not recommended and the user
many experience constant intermittent faults.

OPERATING THE NAVCAM-616GPS FOR THE FIRST TIME

Connect a USB car charger to the car’s 12v Cigarette lighter socket and the other end to the Micro
USB port on the NAVCAM-616GPS. Insert a Micro SD card into the Micro SD slot and turn the device

on. When the ignition is turned on, the NAVCAM-616GPS will turn on.

POWER ON/OFF (AUTO ON/OFF)

When connected to power, the NAVCAM-616GPS will turn ON or OFF automatically when the car’s
ignition is turned ON or OFF. If the NAVCAM-616GPS does not turn off immediately it means the
device is completing the file save process before turning off (usually only a few seconds).

To turn the NAVCAM-616GPS ON, press and hold the power button on the side of the device. To turn
off, press and hold the power button again.

If power is “constant on” (in some European vehicles), then the NAVCAM-616GPS will need to be
turned ON/OFF manually using the power switch.

ABOUT GPS SIGNAL RECEPTION

For convenience, your NAVCAM-616GPS will automatically connect to GPS satellites when in range.
Just like all PND (Portable Navigation Devices) this may take a few minutes (especially the first time).
The signal can also be affected by driving through tunnels for example. The GPS connection however
will reconnect when the GPS satellites come back into range.

Until GPS is re-connected, the following features may not be displayed properly:

- The navigation map screen

- Driving speed display

- Safety alerts such as Red Light, Speed Cameras, School Zones etc.

- Tracking details used by the GPS Player such as speed, longitude, Latitude and Date and Time.

AUTO RECORD WHEN TURNED ON

When the NAVCAM-616GPS is turned on (via the auto on feature) the device will automatically
begin recording. To stop recording, press the OK button or turn the device OFF using the power
button.

RECORDING FILES

Turn on the NAVCAM-616GPS. Recording should start automatically, if not press the Video Camera
button. When recording has started a timer indicator will display at the top left hand side of the unit.
The screen will also display a count up timer for the recording at the top.

The recorded files are saved to micro SD Card. Recording can be stopped, by either pressing the OK
button or by turning the car ignition off (stopping power to the device)

The NAVCAM-616GPS supports cycle recording. It will overwrite the oldest video files with new ones.
Depending on the size of the memory card and the speed rating of the card, there may be as much as
a 3 second pause whilst old files are selected and overwriting begins with newer files. This pause time
will not be recorded.

PLAYING BACK A RECORDED FILE

From the main screen (and while not recording), press the “P” button to toggle to the PLAYBACK
mode. Then, select the video you wish to view using the up and down arrow keys and the OK button
to confirm.

DELETING A FILE

When in playback mode, select the video you wish to delete, then press the M button. Select delete
and then press OK. Lastly select CURRENT or ALL.

Note: Once files are deleted you cannot get them back.

EMERGENCY VIDEO RECORDING

You can press the “Emergency video recording” button at any time to preserve a file from being
overwritten.

AUTO BUMP FILE RECORD (G SENSOR) - SAVING RECORDING VIDEO FILES

Due to the “cycle recording” nature of this technology, older recorded files will be overwritten
(depending on the chosen resolution settings and the memory capacity of the memory card).
Alternately the G sensor will trigger an auto save lock if it senses a bump (sensitivity is selectable via
the user settings), so that the file being recorded is not overwritten in the cycle record process. Such
files will be saved to the folder called EVENT.

TAKING A STILL PICTURE

While not in record mode, press the “P” button to toggle to CAMERA mode. Press the OK button to
take a photo.

USB CONNECTION

Connect the NAVCAM-616GPS to a Windows PC with a Micro USB to USB cable. The screen will
then display “Connected to Computer”. The unit is now connected.

Find the device Under “My computer” or “Windows Explorer” find the newly connected drive.
Recorded files and images are recorded in the NORMAL folder, while preserved files are recorded in
the EVENT folder. Files can be played back using Windows Media player, VLC or a compatible
.AVI media player or an image viewer (for JPG images).
