POWERING ON THE DEVICE
The device will power on automatically when plugged in and can also be powered by pressing the
Action Button until the display activates (when connected to power).
CONTINUOUS LOOP RECORDING
Once the SD card is full, the dash cam will continuously overwrite the oldest footage recorded with
recent recordings. To protect a clip so that it will not be overwritten, press the Action Button so that
the clip is moved into the locked content partition.
EMERGENCY RECORDINGS
An Emergency Recording is triggered when the Action Button is pressed or when the G-Sensor
registers a signicant impact (hard braking or collision). Emergency Recordings create locked les
that are not overwritten by Continuous Loop Recording. To ensure that important footage is not lost
surrounding an incident, the adjacent video clip is locked if the incident happens within 30 seconds of
the beginning or end of a clip.

The SC 120 comes with a SD memory card. To remove the SD card, press rmly on the card to push
it further into the slot until you hear a click. The card will pop out upon release. Extract the card and
replace it if necessary by inserting a new card into the slot and pressing until it locks in place.
This dash cam supports SD cards up to 256GB. Before using, be sure to format the card in-dash
