connected to your vehicle’s speaker system, either via Bluetooth or via an aux cable, Alexa’s audio
output will come through your vehicle’s speaker system.

Below are a selection of example phrases to get started:

Firmware controls the basic functioning of the Dash Cam.
If your Dash Cam is not functioning correctly, you may
need to update your firmware.
Firmware updates may also be released to fix bugs, and
improve the general functionality of the Dash Cam.

Dash Cam, including what firmware version is currently active (i.e R05.3)
Ways to Update Firmware on your Dash Cam
There are a number of ways for you to update your firmware version.

and show the contents of your SD Card. Go to the ‘Support & Downloads’ page
on nextbase.com and download the newest firmware version (i.e R05.4); this will download as a .bin file.

Eject the SD Card and insert it back into your Dash Cam. When power is supplied to your Dash Cam it
will turn on, and will automatically begin updating. While updating, the red LED to the left of the screen
will start flashing. Once the update has been completed your Dash Cam will automatically restart.

allow you to view your videos on a larger screen. You can connect your Dash Cam to any television

with your Dash Cam.
Connect the HD-Out cable (available from your nearest retailer) between the Dash Cam and your external
device (see diagram below), then turn on the Dash Cam. The screen on the Dash Cam will be blank as the
video image is now being sent to the external device, the red power LED on the Dash Cam will be lit
indicating the unit is turned on. You can then proceed to use the Dash Cam as you would normally.
Make sure that the Dash Cam battery is charged prior to use, as power is not supplied to the Dash Cam
via the HD-Out cable.
For prolonged use, an external power supply may be required; use the supplied USB cable with a 5Vdc/USB
adaptor, of the type typically supplied with mobile phones.

Nextbase SD Cards™
CE Mark Information (Conformité Europénne)
For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase branded SD cards with your Dash Cam, available™
to purchase online from , or your nearest retailer.nextbase.com
32GB
Approx 4 hours footage.
We recommend formatting your SD Card every 2 weeks to ensure that there is enough space to record
and store new footage. When formatting, protected files WILL be deleted. If you wish to keep these
protected files, you must back then up externally, most commonly by saving files to a desktop computer,
or another secure storage point.
To clear your SD card, go to the ‘Format SD Card’ function in your Dash Cam’s Setup settings Menu and
follow the instructions on screen.

The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is a symbol (below) printed on products to indicates it’s
conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within
Europe. It is used on many products across many industries (for example, SD cards) as a mark of
compliance with European standards.
In recent years, many variations of this mark have appeared in the market. While similar, the mark
above is the only variant that is associated with, and declares compliance with European standards.
Other marks, like the ones below, do not guarantee that the product it is attached to or is compliant
with European standards for sale in the European Economic Area (EEA).
The main difference between a legitimate CE mark and a misused CE mark is the spacing of the
letters. The letters, C and E, tend to be formed identically, however the spacing between them is
what separates the real from the false. The images below show how the letters should be spaced.
There will never be additional markings such as a border or circle used on a legitimate CE Mark.
CE Mark False CE Mark
As products without the correct CE marking are not guaranteed to comply with European Health and
Safety standards, those products are potentially less reliable and could pose a safety risk.
Be aware of the CE marking when purchasing electrical products.
The descriptions above of false CE markings are not comprehensive; be aware that new variations
may appear on the market.
