Garmin DASH CAM MINI 3 - Formatting the Memory Card; Pairing with Your Smartphone

Formatting the Memory Card
The device requires a memory card formatted using the FAT32 file system. You can use the device to format
your card using this file system. You should format your memory card at least one time every 6 months to help
extend the useful life of the memory card. You must also format a brand new memory card.
NOTE: Formatting the memory card deletes all videos and data on the card.
1 Connect the camera to power using the included vehicle power adapter and a USBcable.
The camera turns on. If the memory card is not correctly formatted in FAT32 format, the status LED flashes
yellow.
2 Hold for eight seconds.
The status LED turns green while the card is formatting.
When formatting is complete, the status LED turns red and the camera begins recording.
