Setting up the device

Using your recorder in a vehicle

1. Make sure that your car is parked on level ground.

2. Follow the instructions below to securely mount your recorder in a vehicle.

3. Connect the car charger to the cigarette lighter. Route the cables through the top ceiling and the A-pillar so that it does not interfere with driving. Make sure that the cable installation does not interfere with the vehicles airbags or other safety features.

4. When adjusting the angle of mounting, make sure that the camera’s view is parallel with the level ground, and the ground/sky ratio is close to 6/4.

Note:

To ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the recorder near

the rear view mirror.

Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the

device where the driver’s ﬁeld of vision is blocked.

If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reﬂective coating it may be athermic and

impact the GPS reception. In this instance please mount your device where there is a “clear area.”

The system will automatically calibrate the G sensor of the device during start-up.

To avoid G sensor malfunction always turn the device on AFTER you mount it in the vehicle properly.

Inserting a memory card

You must insert a memory card (not supplied) before you can start recording. The recorder supports memory cards with up to 128GB capacity.

The recorder provides two memory card slots on MiVue 638/658 Touch model. In this case, always insert the primary memory card into Slot 1 and then the second card (if available) into Slot 2. The recorded ﬁles are stored to the card in Slot 1; the card in Slot 2 is for you to back up ﬁles manually.

1. Hold the card by the edges and gently insert it into the slot with the label facing the rear side of the recorder.

2. To remove a card gently push the top edge of the card inwards to release it and pull it out of the slot.

Note:

DO NOT apply pressure to the centre of the memory card. You are advised to use a Class 10 memory card with at least 8GB capacity. MiTAC does not guarantee the product’s compatibility with memory cards from all

manufacturers.

Before you start recording please format the memory card to avoid malfunction

caused by ﬁles not created by the recorder.

You are recommended to turn the device off before removing the memory card.

Connecting to your computer

You can connect the recorder to your computer to access data on the memory card.

Disassemble the back cover to locate the Mini-USB connector on the rear side of the device. Follow the instruction below to connect the recorder to the computer via the USB cable (not supplied).
