or deployment of airbags.
l
Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reective material is
placed near the lens. Please keep the lens clean.
l
If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a coating, it may impact recording quality.
l
To ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the dash cam
near the rear view mirror.
l
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place
the device where the driver’s eld of vision is blocked.

l
Before attaching the device mount to the windscreen, it is recommended to clean
the windscreen with rubbing alcohol and make sure that the installation area is
free of dust, oil and grease.

with driving. Make sure that the cable installation does not interfere with the
vehicle’s airbags or other safety features.
l
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 a 50/50 split.
l
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.
