Inserting a Memory Card Into Your Camera
Before using your camera, insert a Micro SD Memory Card into the memory card slot (not included). We recommend using speed class 10 cards (or higher), with a minimal 8 GB storage capacity. Your camera supports Micro SD Memory Cards of up to 32GB in capacity. Only use good quality Micro SD cards from reliable brands.
It is recommended to format the Micro SD card in the camera before the first use. Formatting permanently deletes all data on the memory card, so be sure to copy the data you want to keep to another storage device before formatting. The memory card slot is spring-loaded. To remove a Micro SD card from the memory card slot, push the edge of the card until it pops out and then pull it from the slot.
Powering On & Charging Your Dashcam
Keep the power button pressed for 2 seconds to manually turn on or turn off your camera. Before the first use, please charge the battery for at least 5 hours. Make sure the battery is never fully discharged for a long time. When you store the camera, it is recommended to charge the battery to 60-80% capacity. Charge the battery directly via the Micro-USB port. Use the supplied USB charging cable and your computer or a 5V USB charger for charging. In general, the battery can be fully charged within 3-5 hours.
