Overview

This document serves as the User's Manual for the LUKAS Blackbox Driving Recorder (Dashcam), specifically for models LK-6200 and LK-6300. It provides comprehensive information on the product's function, usage, and maintenance, ensuring users can operate the device effectively and safely.

The LUKAS Blackbox is designed as an accessory for safe driving, primarily functioning as a recording equipment for images and sounds, intended to provide visual proof in the event of a car accident. It records in HD (1280x720p) with a 16:9 wide screen, offering clear image quality. The device features a wide viewing angle, with the LK-6200/G models having a diagonal angle of 132° (horizontal 91.7°, vertical 50.5°) and the LK-6300/G models offering a diagonal angle of 142° (horizontal 109.8°, vertical 55.4°), designed to minimize distortion.

One of the key usage features is its direct formatting function for the SD card, allowing users to format the card directly within the product without needing a PC. This is a crucial maintenance feature, as it's recommended to format the SD card at least once a week to prevent damage to the card file due to repeated saving and deleting. The manual emphasizes using genuine memory cards and formatting them periodically (e.g., once every two weeks for a 16GB card). The device also supports various 37mm filters, including UV, CPL, and MCUV filters, though it's noted that CPL filters or other filters might degrade image quality at night and are not recommended for night driving or parking lot monitoring.

For power management, the blackbox includes a built-in Super Cap Battery, which ensures that image data is safely saved even if power is cut off. The device operates on DC 8V~24V. It also has a security LED that blinks during parking recording, indicating that the blackbox is active and helping to prevent accidents.

The LUKAS Blackbox offers various parking modes to suit different needs. The "Always + Event" mode provides at least twice the recording time compared to driving mode, focusing on continuous recording with adjusted image quality. The "Event + Motion Detection" mode records only when an impact or motion is detected, saving 30-second clips (10 seconds before and 20 seconds after the event). In this mode, the security LED blinks rapidly upon motion detection. Users can set up the SD card memory capacity by splitting storage space for different recording folders (AlwaysMovie, EventMovie, MotionMovie), with default settings like 75:25 for Always:Event or 70:10:20 for Always:Event:Motion. It's important to format the SD card before changing these settings.

The device provides voice guidance and buzzer sounds to inform the user about its operational state, such as booting completion, parking/stopping time, firmware updates, and recording status. A segment LED displays information like time, speed, and status, including messages for SD card errors ("Sd_FAIL," "Sd_Lock"), high-temperature safety mode ("SAFE"), system termination ("SEE You"), and driving/parking modes ("drv," "PAr"). Voice guidance is not available in LK-6300 series.

Installation involves applying double-sided tape to the holding deck, attaching the blackbox to the front window in a position that doesn't obstruct the driver's view, connecting the power cable, and then connecting the cigar jack to start the engine. The manual provides guidance on the recommended installation angle, suggesting a G-Sensor Z value between -0.1 and -0.3, with -0.2 being ideal for general sedans, to ensure optimal image capture. It warns against excessive upward or downward tilting, which can affect image brightness and the ability to capture important details like traffic lights.

For playback of recorded images, users can remove the SD card after turning off the device and insert it into a PC or notebook. Images can be viewed using a general media player or the dedicated Lukas viewer software. The manual also notes that the blackbox can output real-time video via an AV-out terminal, allowing connection to navigation systems or monitors for checking the current image and adjusting the blackbox angle.

Maintenance aspects include keeping the lens clean to ensure optimum image quality, as impurities like fingerprints can degrade recording quality. The device has a high-temperature safety mode that stops operation if the internal temperature exceeds approximately 65°C to protect the machine and ensure stable recording. Users are advised not to operate the blackbox for extended periods when the car motor is not running to prevent battery discharge. It's also crucial to turn off the power before removing the SD card to avoid damaging the card or recorded files. The manual explicitly states that using uncertified power cables or accessories is not recommended and may void warranty.

The product comes with a standard 1-year warranty from the date of purchase, with accessories (including the memory card) having a 6-month warranty. Users are advised to keep the manual as proof of warranty and present it when seeking repairs. The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for damages due to product malfunction, data loss, or other related issues, emphasizing that the product is an accessory for safe driving and not a guarantee for recording all accident images and sounds. It also warns that electromagnetic waves from the blackbox might interfere with other electronic devices like FM or DMB, suggesting installation as far as possible from other antennas.
