install the device. Incorrectly wiring the power cable can result in damage to the vehicle or the battery and can
cause bodily injury.

and a ground connection.
2 Connect the BATT wire to a constant power source.
3 Connect the ACC wire to a switched power source.
4 Connect the GND wire to the bare metal of the vehicle's chassis using an existing bolt or screw.

Troubleshooting
My camera feels warm while it is operating
It is normal for the camera to feel warm during typical use, especially while it is recording high-resolution video
or transmitting a Wi‑Fi signal.
My memory card has degraded and needs to be replaced
All microSD

memory cards wear out after they are overwritten a large number of times. Periodically formatting
the card can extend the useful life and improve performance. Because the dash camera records continuously,
you may need to replace the memory card periodically (Installing a Memory Card, page 1). Your device detects
memory card errors automatically and alerts you when it is time to format or replace your memory card.
You can take these actions to help extend the useful life of the memory card.
• Format the memory card at least one time every six months (Formatting the Memory Card, page 2).
• If the device displays a memory card error alert, first try formatting the memory card (Formatting the Memory
Card, page 2) and then, if necessary, replace the memory card (Installing a Memory Card, page 1).
• Turn off the device, or ensure the Parking Guard feature is enabled when your vehicle is not in use.
If your device is not connected to an ignition-switched vehicle power outlet, you should turn off the device
when your vehicle is not in use to prevent the dash camera from recording unneeded footage.
• Use a memory card with a higher storage capacity.
Because higher-capacity memory cards are overwritten less frequently, they usually last longer.
• Use a high-quality memory card with a speed rating of class 10 or higher.
• Purchase your replacement memory card from a high-quality manufacturer and a reputable vendor.
