Setting up the device
Using your recorder in a vehicle
Note:
To ensure the highest quality recordings you are advised to place the recorder near the rear view mirror.
Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device where the driver’s field of vision is blocked.
If the car’s windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating it may be athermic and impact the GPS reception. In this instance please mount your device where there is a
“clear area.”
The system will automatically calibrate the G sensor of the device during start-up.
To avoid G sensor malfunction always turn the device on AFTER you mount it in the vehicle properly.
Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to securely mount your recorder and rear camera into a vehicle.
1. Mount the recorder.
