Charging the Battery

The RAC 04 CarCam has a built in Lithium Polymer battery that can be charged while
in use in the vehicle, or outside using the supplied USB cable. The battery will take
approximately 60 minutes to charge and will provide 5 to 10 minutes of emergency
recording time once the power supply has been disconnected.

1. The CarCam will charge when connected to the in car power socket using the
supplied power adaptor cable.

2. Outside of the car, the CarCam can be charged by connecting to a standard USB
charger using the supplied cable.
The Red Power indicator LED will illuminate when the CarCam is being charged. This
LED will switch off when the charging is complete.

Additionally, when switched on and connected to an external power source such as a
USB charger or the in car power socket, the battery level indictor will change to a
charging indicator.

Preparing for Use

IMPORTANT: To get the best quality recordings when using this CarCam, always ensure
your windscreen is clean and free from dirt, smudges and fingerprints on both the
inside and outside of the windscreen. Dirt and smudges can, and will, affect the quality
of the video recorded.

Inserting the Memory Card
Insert the supplied Micro SD Card into the Memory Card Socket on the side of the
Carcam. The exposed contacts of the Micro SD Card should be placed into the slot
facing the rear (screen side) of the CarCam (see Identification of Controls). The card
can be removed by gently pushing the card further into the slot, at this point the card
will pop out for easy removal.

IMPORTANT:
Never remove the card while the unit is switched on.
Always ensure replacement cards are High Speed SDHC Class 6 or faster.

Installing the CarCam

1. Place the CarCam Bracket Socket onto the Mounting Bracket and slide securely
into place.

2. Insert the Power Adaptor cable into the USB socket on the side of the CarCam.

3. With the mounting bracket lever in the open (up) position, place the Mounting
Bracket suction pad on the inside of the windscreen and lock into place by pushing
the lever down. If there is a protective sleeve on the suction pad, please make sure
this is removed before fitting onto the windscreen.

4. Remove the protective film from the front of the lens and the LCD screen.

Important: Ensure the Mounting Bracket is located in such a way as to not block your
view while driving, or affect your ability to operate or control the car safely while driving.
Never mount the CarCam in a position that could interfere with the operation of any
Air Bags in the event of a collision.

Switching On and Recording

The CarCam is designed in such a way that it will automatically switch on a start
recording the moment it detects a connection to the car electrical system via the in
car power socket. It is important to note however that while some cars provide power
to the in car power socket even when the car ignition is off, other cars require the
ignition to be ON before providing power to the in car power socket.

1. Insert the free end of the Power Adaptor into the in car power socket.

Note: If your car provides power to the in car power socket even when the car ignition
is off, the CarCam will switch on and start recording immediately. If not, proceed to
step 2.

2. Switch on the car ignition. The CarCam will automatically switch on and start
recording.

3. If necessary, loosen the mounting bracket collar and adjust the CarCam to obtain
the optimum viewing angle. Tighten the collar to fix the CarCam securely.

4. The CarCam will continue to record for 10 seconds after the ignition has been
switched off or when the power adaptor is removed from the in car power socket.

5. To Stop recording at any time, press the OK button.

6. To switch OFF the CarCam, press and hold the button for 2 seconds.

7. To switch ON the CarCam (for example, when outside of the car) press and hold
the button for 2 seconds.

8. You can switch on or off the internal microphone by pressing the button once.

Note: If the CarCam is switched on while connected to an external power source, it will
automatically start recording after it is switched on. If the CarCam is switched on
without a connection to an external power source (i.e. using the internal rechargeable
battery only), it will switch on but will NOT start recording automatically.
