  If your Thinkware Dash Cameras doesn't recognize the memory card: * Make sure the memory card is inserted correctly, with the metal contacts facing toward the lens. * Turn off the power, remove the memory card, and check the memory card slot for any damage to the contacts. * Also, ensure you are using an authentic THINKWARE memory card, as THINKWARE does not guarantee compatibility with third-party memory cards.
