SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Safety Warnings

Read and follow the instructions and precautions in this guide and all documents referenced in this guide when installing this device. Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s

service manual for proper installation and wiring of any aftermarket devices, including the ER-SF1. Failure to do so may result in property damage and/or personal injury.

WARNING: Park the vehicle on a level surface before beginning any maintenance or installation. Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Never work under a vehicle supported only by jacks as jacks can slip and fall over.

WARNING: All wires that carry electrical current must be fused. Failure to do so can lead to serious personal injury and/or property damage. If any wires or cables containing fuses/fuse boxes need to be cut or otherwise shortened, always be certain to replace such fuses/fuse boxes or install new ones.

WARNING: Wire Protection: Take all necessary measures to protect all wire runs through a metal surface with a grommet or other device and all wire runs outside the vehicle cab with a loom. Always protect against wire fatigue and harness abrasion by properly attaching wires at closely spaced intervals, while avoiding contact with sharp edges or doing anything else that might result in exposed wires. All wires should be secured with tie wraps at least every two feet or less. Do not overtighten any tie wraps.

EXPLOSION HAZARD: Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed or the area

is known to be non-hazardous.

WARNING: Substituting or supplementing components may impair suitability and performance. If you are missing any components contact Lytx U.S. Technical Support Center at

866.910.0403 or email support@lytx.com.

WARNING: Wear safe eye protection to prevent serious eye injury when you perform vehicle maintenance or service.

Driver Safety Warnings

WARNING: Seat belt warning: To reduce the potential danger of injuries, the driver and front passenger must always be correctly seated with seat belts correctly fastened when operating the vehicle.

DISCLAIMER: The Lytx Event Recorder is a driver aid only, not a substitute for a safe,

conscientious driver. This device cannot compensate for a driver who is distracted, inattentive or

impaired by fatigue, drugs or alcohol. Whether or not the device is in use, it is always the responsibility of the driver to take appropriate corrective action. The driver should never wait for the device to provide a warning before taking measures to avoid an accident. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage.

Always, it is the driver’s responsibility to:

 Use safe driving techniques

 Exercise proper judgment

 Maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles

 Take measures to avoid an accident

 Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

WARNING: The Lytx Event Recorder may have limited to no functionality in certain conditions, including inclement weather, low visibility, and certain road conditions (including poor

lane markings, construction zones, dirt roads, heavy or complicated traffic, and curvy and winding roads.) Always keep the lens and view of the device unobstructed and properly calibrated so as not to inhibit function. Driving in certain conditions or with any interference with the device can result in false, few, or no warnings. The driver must always monitor traffic and surroundings and take measures to avoid an accident; failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage.

WARNING: Whether or not the Lytx Event Recorder is functioning, it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain vehicle control; failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death or severe property damage. If the device is not functioning properly at any time, the driver should contact their supervisor to have the device inspected immediately to correct the issue.

Adherence to Applicable Local, State and Federal Laws

WARNING: Some jurisdictions have adopted, or may in the future adopt, laws that prohibit objects from being mounted on a vehicle’s windshield or other locations in a vehicle. You are responsible for complying with such laws, and Lytx, Inc. does not accept responsibility for your failure to do so.
