Operation

Micro SD Card

The device can support micro SDHC cards (High Capacity SD) or SDXC
cards (Extended Capacity SD) up to 128GB in capacity. A micro SD card of at
least 16GB capacity and minimum speed of Class 10/U1 is required.

Insert a formatted micro SD card gently in the slot at the side of the unit. To
remove the card from the slot, press the edge of the micro SD card inwards
for it to pop out and then pull it out of the slot.

It is important to format the micro SD card before using it, so as to avoid any

damage to the les created on DASH VIEW 30R.

Uniden only recommends using good quality MLC/SLC micro SD cards.
Please check with SD card manufacturer to ensure that the SD card used is

rated for Dash Cam recording.

NOTE

GPS Reception information

Surroundings with tall buildings, tunnels or poor weather conditions may
result in poor GPS reception or even lose GPS signal. Over-tinting or a rain
sensor on the windshield can affect GPS reception.

If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the

installation spot of your dash camera. For the rst time use, it takes about

15~20 minutes to get GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3
minutes.
