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

The device comes with a MicroSD memory card. To remove the MicroSD card, press firmly on the
MicroSD card to push it further into the slot. There will be a click and the MicroSD card will pop out on
release. Extract the card and replace as necessary by inserting a card into the slot and pressing until it
locks in place. This camera is compatible with MicroSD cards up to 128GB. Please be sure to format the
card in-camera before use. Class 10 high-endurance cards from reputable brands are recommended for
constant video recording of a dash camera.
