Unresolved Issues
Solution
The SD card has been formatted in another device and the Cluster size is not compatible. Use the Setup option to re-format the SD card
from within the SD card.
Ensure the Dash Cam is connected to a reliable power source and that the supplied Car Power Cable is being used, with the blue LED lit.
The battery will only receive charge when the Dash Cam is connected to a power source.
Charging takes approximately 2 hours and a full charge is indicated when the blue LED on the Dash Cam goes out. To charge, take the
camera indoors and charge it for 2 hours; once fully charged, check to see if the problem persists.
If it persists, the car power supply may be causing the issue.
This is normal, the battery design allows the 'Auto Power Off' feature to function in event of power loss within the vehicle.
It is not intended as an alternative power source to replace the supplied car adaptor.
The SD card has become unusable by the Dash Cam. Back up useful files to your PC and then Format your SD card from within
the Dash Cam setup menu.
The SD card has become full as there are too many protected files which cannot be deleted to allow for further recording to take place.
Transfer useful files to your PC and delete unnecessary files, or Format the SD card from within the Dash Cam setup menu.
The Dash Cam is not compatible with all TVs and monitors. Ensure that all connections are correctly attached.
The Dash Cam will start a recording whenever motion is detected. To turn off Parking Mode firstly shutdown the Dash Cam
and remove the SD card, this will avoid recording being activated accidentally. Switch the Dash Cam On and within the Setup Menu,
turn off the 'Parking Mode'.
This is normal during recording. Stop the recording before pressing the MENU button. If recording re-starts before you can press MENU,
then see the Parking Mode section above.
This is not a cause for concern, as this message will appear whenever new software is downloaded from the internet. Simply go to the settings
within Google Chrome and turn off the malicious software protection temporarily to download and install the playback software.
Reinstate previous Google Chrome settings afterwards.
Try multiple USB ports and an alternative mini USB cable (if possible).
Please ensure it is inserted into the USB port on the Dash Cam and not into the mount.
It is normal for the camera to feel warm during typical use, especially when it’s recording high definition video or communicating via Wi-Fi.My Camera feels warm when it is operating.
Reset the Dash Cam to the default settings within the Setup Menu and try again.
