Safety Precaution

*

When the X2 is connected to cigar jack in extreme hot conditions,
please be sure to power off when not in use.

*

If the X2 is connected directly to the car battery, ensure the car has the ability to
start after extended time. To do this, raise the voltage in power control settings.

*

If the X2 is connected directly to car battery, for safety, turn off unit
before starting and power on after the car has started.

If the temperature in the car exceeds 75 C (167 F), allow the unit to cool down
before operating to avoid damage.

*

Formatting of memory cards on a regular basis (weekly) offers best
performance. Remember to save important files and back up to a computer
prior to formatting!

In the case where the X2 Blackbox cannot record because the

memory card is not recognized, format the memory card in the Setup
Menu. (During recording, the RED indicator is on)
