When connected t o t he 12v DC socket (cigar ett e socket ) of your car, t he NAV502FHDi will turn on and off automatically when t he car’s ignition is turned on or off.
If the NAV-502FHDi does not t urn off immediately it means the device is complet ing
the file save process before turning off (usually only a few seconds).
If the 12v socket is “constant on” (in some European vehicles), then the NAV502FHDi will need to be turned on/ off manually by the power button.
Whilst connected to t he car’s 12V DC socket (or from a powered USB hub or PC USB
port ) the LED indicator will glow red (battery is charging) and will be off once the
batt ery is fully charged.

In the event of an incident / accident – ST O P t h e Re c o r d i n g .

the chosen resolution settings and the memory capacity of the Micro SD card). For example a 2GB SD car d at
HD r esolut i on wi ll on ly o ffer yo u 20 minu tes of recor d t ime before t he files (2 or 5 or 15min sizes) start t o get
overwritten
