Tips about safety instruction & direction

Please read this

Before installing

and using.

please keep this

manual for

future reference.

Before installing and using please read the

following warning carefully.

 The recorder uses DC power supply, input DC range is 8V-36V, Please

pay attention to VDD and GND when connecting the power, DO NOT
make DVR short-circuit.

 After DVR connect camera, the initial power must be over 30W (Specific

power consumption will vary depending on the external
equipment),Power Supply must be provided over 30W.

 From the power supply to DVR all power cables must ensure that the

diameter is thick enough to withstand more than 60Watts. For example,
when the vehicle power supply output voltage is 12V , the source line
must be able to withstand 5Amps or more;



Install the equipment in the dry environment, avoid damp, drip, water

spray,etc.



To extend the life of the equipment, please install the equipment

in the weak vibration part of the vehicle;

 The equipment should be installed in the vehicle interior

ventilation, do not install in the closeness environment;



Ensure that equipment away from the heat source in the vehicle, the

equipment can not have sundries piled up;



As far as possible from the electromagnetic environment, away from

the strong interference environment;

 Ensure that passengers or drivers can not interfere and damage any

component of the equipment.



The installation and all materials must bear the fuselage weight.



It is recommended that the power cord wear heat resistance,

waterproof and oil proof casing which can prevent the short circuit
or break up due to the long time vibration in the vehicle.;

 In the absence of professional guidance, please do not open or remove

the equipment.
