Warranty and Liability

Warranty and Liability

This product is an auxiliary device that records driving image of vehicle, being made
with a view to ensuring safe driving of drivers as well as to providing exact information
upon the occurrence of car accident.

Even though this device is made to record, play back and analyze the impacts,
accidents and images recorded at user’s discretion, however, it does not guarantee that
it will record every situation under any circumstances.

Upon the occurrence of an accident with very minor impact, G-sensor
built inside TOPION may not detect shock or impact given, thereby not
recording the accident. In this case, we recommend you to use manual
recording button to use.

We are exempt from liabilities for the case of damages caused by
device malfunction as well as data losses resulting from user’s misuse
or any other occasions, such as device destruction during car accident.

Caution during Use

SD Memory Card

Use the SD card reader that supports SDHC 2.0, if you currently use PC
that does not support SDHC 2.0.

When you format SD card, all the existing data will be erased, therefore,
you must back up important data.

Failure of not setting up SD card after formatting may lead longer loading
time. In addition, recording time data may not coincide with actual clock
time.

Avoid using the SD card supplied with TOPION for any other purposes.

When you use the SD card for the purpose of copying files that are not
related with TOPION or use it for personal issues, it might cause error, as
the SD card is only optimized for TOPION.

You are able to use compatible SD cards with TOPION. However, other
bad quality SD cards are not recommended, due to possible errors. RTS is
exempt from being liable for any possible problems associated with such
attempts.

Things to Know Before Use

Things to Know Before Use

How to use

Tip

Default recording setting is “continuous recording.” Upon receiving impact (or
when using manual record button). It records total 30 seconds of image
(15 before and after the moment of impact received).

Maximum 100 events of 30 seconds can be saved. When it reaches over 100
events, it will overwrite the first-in data. Therefore, we recommend you to
back up important data into other external storage.

Tip

When the SD card is full, it will start overwriting the first-in data in consecutive order.

1. Insert SD memory card into the card slot of TOPION, and turn
on the engine to provide power to the product.

2. When the power is connected, it will initiate function. Then, you will hear a voice saying
“you’ve selected continuous recording!” From this, continuous recording is on.

If you hear a message saying “SD card is full,” then please back up your

important data into an other external storage.

3. Rear LED during continuous recording is working as below, depending on
GPS reception.

In normal GPS reception : blinking in green
In case of no GPS reception : blinking in red

RX1100 model does not provide built-in GPS. Therefore, there is only red
LED blinking.
