G-Sensor Notice The G Sensor within iQ measures forces exerted upon it; one g which is the nominal force
exerted upon us when stationary on the earth's surface. The G-Sensor will activate to protect any recording
currently in progress if a pre-determined thresholdof force is exceeded. The G-Sensor protection will be
adversely affected if iQ is NOT mounted in the vertical direction (i.e., with the lens pointing to or from the
direction of travel). G-Force information derived from a G-Sensor is not warranted to be totally accurate
at all times, as it is derived from the G-Sensor through a sampling method over time. The precision of the
G-Sensor value recorded depends upon when the acceleration took place at the instance of the sample
taken. The thresholds to activate the video protection rely upon a trigger value being exceeded between
two successive samples in any one of the three G-Sensor axes. If the Automatic G-Sensor protection does
NOT trigger during an event, then the Protect button should be pressed in order to protect the file.
Protecting the file can also be performed using the Playback function on iQ or through the App.
Care & Maintenance The following suggestions will help you maintain and prolong the life of your iQ.
Only qualified and authorized personal should make repairs to this product
Clean iQ and its accessories with a soft dry cloth. For tough dirt sparingly apply some neutral
detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts of water with a rung-out cloth. NEVER immerse iQ or it’s
accessories in water (see usage notes).
Avoid making contact with the lenses as damage may occur.
If required, clean the glass lens carefully using a spectacle cleaning cloth. Use of inappropriate
cleaning cloths may scratch iQs lens.
Do not drop, shake, or twist iQ. Avoid placing iQ on sloping surfaces such as dashboards whilst
securing the baseplate to your vehicle’s windshield.
Do not attempt to rotate the external antennas on iQ. Antenna positions are limited to
4 positions at 90 degrees to each other. Rotating the antenna will break the connection
to the device and will cause connectivity issues.
Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you format the memory card. This will wipe any files
from the card and set it up afresh for continued use with your iQ. Of course, you should only
do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from the card that you may want to keep, as
formatting the card will remove all content.
Format your memory card using the iQ App. This will make sure that the card is structured
specifically for your camera. Within the Setup menu, select ‘Format SD Card’ and follow the
on-screen instructions.
Switch off iQ Cam before removing the SD card, to prevent the chance of damage being
caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it
If it becomes necessary to replace the SD card supplied with iQ, we strongly recommend
using our Nextbase branded SD cards which are available to purchase online from
nextbase.com, or your nearest retailer. A card that is not made specifically for a Dash
Cam may appear to work perfectly in the beginning, although failure tends to happen
after prolonged use, this could be days, weeks, or months. In a worst-case scenario,
you may only discover recording failure after your SD card fails to record a serious
incident, therefore using a suitable SD card is imperative.
High Temperature Use iQ is designed to function at a maximum ambient temperature of 40oC / 104oF.
Above this temperature some of the functions of iQ will automatically be restricted to ensure that the
device is not damaged. The device will function will be restored once its core temperature is returned
to operating parameters.

Camera Legal Requirements Precaution In some jurisdictions it could be considered an invasion
of privacy right to take or publicly display photographs or videos of people or their vehicles using
this product. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy
in your jurisdiction and in any jurisdiction in which you may use this device. Video recordings made
by this Dash Cam should be for personal use only.
Publication of the recordings on YouTube, the internet or other methods is subject to the data
protection legislation and the requirements thereof must be adhered to. Such data protection
legislation may prohibit the use and dissemination by you of Dash Cam footage or may impose
restrictions on it – we recommend that you check the legal requirements with your legal advisor
before disseminating any Dash Cam footage.
Many regions have far tighter controls of audio recording than video. The default setting on iQ is for
microphones to be active so that voice controls can function. Please ensure you respect the laws
of the area in which you live and/or you operate iQ in your vehicle (see usage notes and warnings).
We strongly recommend that you use the window stickers provided with iQ to advise passengers
and pedestrians that active audio and video recording is taking place in your vehicle.
