Caution

Due to local laws and vehicles safety considerations, do not attempt to change settings with the camcorder while driving.

The many Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) features of this Car Camcorder are for reference only. It is important to note that these feature will not control your vehicle to prevent accidents.

It is the responsibility of the driver to obey traffic laws and maintain control of the vehicle.

6

The results of GPS positioning are only for reference, and should not affect the actual driving situation. GPS position accuracy may have variation depending on system settings or external conditions.

GPS positioning accuracy may differ depending on weather and location such as high buildings, tunnels, undergrounds, or forests.

GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). Tinted window may affect the performance of the GPS satellite reception.

GPS reception performance on each camcorder may differ. The system cannot determine the accuracy of the positioning results from different camcorders.

The values displayed in this system, such as speed, position, and the distance warning to the speed camera set points, may be inaccurate due to the influence of surrounding environment. They are for your reference only.

The system is used only for non-commercial use, within the maximum limits permitted by applicable law. Our company does not accept any responsibility for any data loss during the operation.

Wi-Fi Signals are unable to pass through the building. The upper limit of signal transmission is 10m.

Wi-Fi Operation Channels List: Ch1~Ch11.

The product employs wireless data communication which may interfere, or be interfered by, a near-by camcorder.

Never use this camcorder in the vicinity of a microwave oven or at places where there is radio interference.

Radio wave reception may be worsened in specific environments.

Please be advised that if another camcorder is also using the same

2.4GHz band as this product, the processing speed of both camcorders may slow down.

This product gets warm when in use; this is normal.

Improper use or operation of the product may result in damage of the product or its accessories and void the warranty.

The radio frequency (RF) generated by this RF electronic camcorder may cause adverse effects on the operation of other electronic camcorders and result in malfunctioning. Wireless transmitters and

7

circuitry may also interfere with other electronic camcorders.

Therefore, do observe the following precautions:

•

Aircraft: Never use a radio transmitter when you are in an airplane. Please switch off the Wi-Fi function of the camcorder.

• Vehicle: The radio frequency transmitted by this camcorder may affect the electronic system in a motorized vehicle.

Please consult the manufacturer or dealer of your vehicle on the possible effect.

•

Pacemaker: In order to prevent any potential interference to a pacemaker, anyone who uses a pacemaker should be advised, that, when using this camcorder, a minimum distance of 15cm

(6 inch) should be kept between the camcorder and the pacemaker; and never put this camcorder in a chest pocket. In case of any doubt of interference, switch off the camcorder immediately.

• Medical Camcorder: If you use a personal medical camcorder, consult the camcorder manufacturer or your physician to confirm if your camcorder is sufficiently shielded from the RF transmission of this camcorder.

•

Medical Facilities: Hospitals and medical institutes may use facilities that are sensitive to an external RF energy. Observe such instructions when the medical care personnel or any posted sign requests you to switch off any camcorder that may interfere the radio frequency.

•

Explosion sites or any location with a posted sign: In order to prevent interfering with an explosion activity, observe all the signage and instructions in the Explosion Area or in a zone with a “Switch Off 2-way Radios” sign by switching off camcorders that may interf ere with the radio frequency.
