Setting up the device

Using your recorder in a vehicle

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.

Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to securely mount your recorder and rear camera into a vehicle.

1. Mount the recorder.

2. Mount the rear camera.

Before sticking the mounting pad, you are recommended to clean the windscreen with rubbing alcohol.

Note: If the adhesion of the adhesive tape does not perform well, replace the tape with a new one.

3. Adjust the lens angle.

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.

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 vehicle's airbags or other safety features.

If you only use the recorder (without connecting the rear camera) in your vehicle,

simply connect the car charger to the recorder and then plug it to the cigarette lighter.

The installation illustrations are for your reference only. The placement of the

devices and cables may vary depending on the vehicle model. If you encounter any problems during installation, contact a skilled installer (such as the service personnel of the vehicle) for assistance.

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
