Safety Precautions

These usage and safety guidelines are IMPORTANT! Please follow them carefully to ensure your own personal safety, and help protect your DrivePro from potential damages.

General Use

For in-car use only.

For your safety, do not operate the DrivePro, or use the DrivePro App while driving.

The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect its accuracy and performance. Transcend does not guarantee the accuracy of GPS data, which should not influence your personal judgment while driving.

GPS signals cannot penetrate buildings and metallic tinted films. The accuracy of GPS data depends on the surroundings including the weather and the location it is being used (e.g. high buildings, tunnels, undergrounds and forests).

Never place the DrivePro where the driver’s view or deployment of airbags is obstructed.

Mount the DrivePro within the range of the windshield wipers to ensure clear visibility in rain.

WARNING: Remove the DrivePro carefully if it is mounted on a tinted window to prevent damages to the tint film.

Backing up Data

Transcend does NOT take any responsibility for data loss or damage during operation. We strongly advise that you regularly back up data in your memory card to a computer or other storage medium.

To ensure Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates when connecting your DrivePro to a computer, please check if the computer is installed correct USB drivers. If you are not sure how to check this, please refer to the User’s Manual of the computer or motherboard for USB driver information.
