Turn on the engine. The BlackVue dashcam will power up and start recording. Video les are stored on the microSD card. When the
microSD card lls up, the newest video les will start to replace the oldest video les (called loop recording) – so you will always have
the most recent video les.
10
Turn o the engine. The dashcam will automatically stop recording and power down. To record in parking mode while the engine is
o please install a Power Magic Battery Pack (sold separately) or a Power Magic Pro (sold separately). A Power Magic Pro powers
your dashcam when the engine is o by hardwiring it to the automotive battery. A low voltage power cut-o function and a parking
mode timer protect the automotive battery from discharge.
Note
y
Up to 50 event recordings (impact, manual) can be locked from being overwritten. By default, this feature is disabled. You can
enable it from rmware settings and choose to either overwrite them with new event les when the event le storage is full
or lock the 50event les and save the new event les in loop recording storage. Please note that formatting the microSD card
deletes all the recordings including the locked event les.
y
The recording LED blinks while recording (default setting) and the GPS LED is on when a GPS signal is received. There are
4recording modes: Normal, Event, Parking and Manual. The dashcam starts recording in normal mode, switches to event mode
when an impact is detected, and switches to parking mode if the vehicle is stationary for 5minutes. Touching the proximity
sensor turns on/o audio recording or triggers manual recording depending on the rmware settings.
y
When you run the dashcam for the rst time the rmware is automatically loaded onto the microSD card. After the rmware has
been loaded onto the microSD card you can customize settings using BlackVue Viewer on a computer.
