Powering Up the Device

Plug the USB cable into the dash cam device via the small USB port and attach
the cord to the external power supply via the larger USB port (computer or
adapter) or use the car charger.

You may allow the device to charge until fully charged and begin

programming when finished –or– as the device charges, press the power

button and wait for the screen to appear.

When fully charged as indicated by the battery icon to the bottom right on the
dash cam device screen, you may remove the device from the charger and/or
continue using the direct power source. If using battery power alone, the

battery icon will have a diminishing fill eventually resulting in an empty outline

indicating a low battery.

Micro SD Memory Card for Data Storage

On the right-facing side of the G1W-H device, you will see a slot for the Micro
SD card (not included). Place the microSD memory card (up to 64GB), text
facing upwards, into the slot and push in until it clicks into place. To remove or
replace the microSD memory card, simply push in until it clicks in/out of
place.

If the microSD card is unrecognized, a blue screen will appear with the
message “PLEASE INSERT SD CARD.” Plug the microSD into an adapter and
into your computer via USB. Now a pop-up window will appear and ask you to
reformat your card. Please note that any data stored on the microSD card will
be deleted during the reformatting process. Click Yes and allow the
reformatting to begin. Once the reformatting is complete, detach card from
adapter and put back into the camera device. If no pop-up appears, as the
microSD is attached via USB, go to the Windows menu and select Computer.
Right-click the removable drive and select Format.

Place the microSD card back into the camera after reformatting and press the
power button.

Attaching the Device to Tilting Suction Mount

On the top of the camera, you will see an open slot for the tilting suction
mount at center. Align the mount’s arm with the camera device’s open slot,
pressing down and forward to secure with mount.

Now you may remove the clear film on the suction and attach to the glass

surface. To remove the suction mount, pull the tag on the right-facing side of

the suction and gently pull off the glass surface to detach.
