DSR-7680-3G Battery Charging
The DSR-7680-3G features an internal lithium-ion battery. With a full charge the battery will
operate the DSR-7680-3G for approximately 6 hours with the LCD screen on. For longer
operating durations, use the LCD Auto OFF battery conservation feature (see Setup Menu).
IMPORTANT: Fully charge the DSR-7680-3G internal battery prior to initial use.
To charge battery...
(1) Insert DSR-AC-1 into standard 110V AC wall outlet. Make sure that the LED light on the
DSR-AC-1 turns on when plugged into the wall outlet.
(2) Turn o DSR-7680-3G. NOTE: The
DSR-7680-3G may also be charged while
turned on, but the charging takes longer.
(3) Insert DSR-AC-1 plug into the DSR-7680-3G
charging port.
(4) The LED on the front of the DSR-7680-3G
will be solid red while the battery is charging.
(5) Charging is complete with the red LED turns o.
Connector Information
MotoComm’s mini DIN connectors feature a weatherproof molding. This weatherproof molding
is designed for a tight t. When mating these connectors for the rst time, it WILL BE DIFFICULT!
Take extra care in lining up the arrows on the connectors and slowly (but rmly!) push the
connectors together. It is a good idea to leave the plugs connected for several hours. This will
help ‘mold’ the connectors together and make for an ideal t. Subsequent connections will not be
as dicult.

(1) Cut 2 small pieces of the DSR-FOAM material and stick them to the
inside surface of the DSR-UM-1 as shown.
(2) Place the DSR-CM81 in the DSR-UM-1 and tighten down the machine
screw and nut so that the camera is secure but can still be rotated in
mount.
(3) Cover the at part of the DSR-UM-1 with one side of the provided
hook-and-loop material, as shown.
(4) Stick the mating side of the provided hook-and-loop material to the
inside surface of the helmet shell. Attach the camera as shown.
(5) Connect the DSR-MIC-1 remote microphone to the DSR-JUNC-1
4-way junction cable (4pin connection).
(6) Leaving the DSR-CM81 camera on your helmet, connect it to the
DSR-JUNC-1 (6pin connection). If needed, use the EXT-6 coiled
extension cable for additional reach.
(7) Plug the DSR-JUNC-1 into the AV IN (top) jack on the DSR-7680-3G
DVR.
(8) Install 8 AA batteries into the DSR-BH-8AA battery holder and
connect it to the DSR-JUNC-1. NOTE: The 8 AA batteries power the
DSR-CM81 camera and DSR-MIC-1 remote microphone. Whenever
the battery pack is connected, the camera and microphone are ON
and are drawing power. The DSR-7680-3G DVR has its own separate
internal battery. The two power sources do not interact in any way.
(9) Turn on the DSR-7680-3G by pressing the power button for 5 seconds
and then releasing.
(10) The DSR-7680-3G defaults to the video record screen. If everything is
connected correctly and the batteries are good, you will see the
image from the camera on the DSR0-7680-3G display.
(11) Rotate the DSR-CM81 camera to set the horizon and then tighten
down the screw and nut on the DSR-UM-1 to secure the camera.
(12) If required adjust the vertical angle of the camera by reattaching the
hook-and-loop pieces at the correct angle. Keep in mind your normal
riding position - a hour long video of your tank is not that exciting!
(13) Press the enter (fII )button to start recording. Slide the Hold (control
lock) switch to the up, or locked, position. Put the microphone, DVR
unit, and battery pack in your jacket pocket, tank bag, waist pack,
camelback, etc. and go ride!

TIP: Use the above basic wiring information as the starting point for any installation. The camera and remote
microphone mounting locations will determine which, if any, of the extension cables will be used in your
install. When mapping out your install, keep in mind that you will want to protect the DSR-7680-3G unit from
the elements, while still being able to easily access it.

Depending on your installation, the camera connection can be extended using either the
EXT-6 coiled extension cable or the EXT-6-180CM six foot straight extension cable.
(3) The DSR-MIC-1 remote microphone connects to the 4pin mini-DIN connector on the
DSR-JUNC-1. Depending on your installation, the microphone connection can be extended
using either the EXT-4 coiled extension cable or the EXT-4-180CM six foot straight extension
cable.
(4) The DSR-JUNC-1’s 3.5mm, 4-contact plug connects to the DSR-7680-3G DVR AV Line IN jack.
