Usage

Caution
Startup
  • Turn off the engine and remove the key from ignition.
  • Check if the SD card is inserted into the unit.
  • Turn on the engine.
  • When the engine is turned on, the system starts with the program installed in the SD card and voice notification will be announced.
  • The REC and GPS lamps will turn on.
  • The REC lamp will turn to blue while blinking.
  • The GPS lamp will turn on red before the signal, then turn to blue as receiving the GPS signal.
  • The GPS connection may take a couple of seconds to several minutes, depending on where the vehicle is.
  • 3 minutes after start up, LCD will be turned off automatically according to “Auto LCD OFF” mode in default Setting (this is a configurable item).
Normal Recording and Event Recording
  • While the power is on, the normal recording is active and the REC lamp will be blinking blue.
  • In normal recording mode, recordings are five minutes in duration and are stored in the NORMAL folder. If the memory is full while in NORMAL or EVENT recording mode, the program will erase the oldest recorded data in those folders to allow the saving of new files. The management is based on First - In First - Out. (FIFO)
  • In the case of an impact, the sensors will trigger the event mode. Users are notified by an alarm. The REC lamp will be red and the recorded data will be saved in the EVENT folder.
  • When an impact is registered, the program records 10 seconds prior to the impact and 15~60 seconds after the impact (adjustable in the configuration) as an EVENT file.
  • Memory size allocation between EVENT folder and the NORMAL folder can be adjusted in the configuration. Quality of recording, resolution and sensitivity as well.
  • SD memory card storage space is divided into two folders, EVENT and NORMAL. When the capacity in each storage space is full, files are deleted in basis of First In First Out.
  • The product starts recording new data when the EVENT folder is full of shock data.
  • The sensitivity you set in configuration affects on the frequency of occurrence of event files thus the capacity of keeping files not being overwritten can also be adjusted according to preference in the analyzer.
Manual (event) Recording
  • When the SHOT button is pressed, the alarm will sound and the recorded data will be saved in the EVENT folder just like recording on impact.
  • The SHOT button can also be used to record scenes of other accidents or great scenery you may want to save while driving.
Viewing
  • 1) Viewing recorded videos on LCD
  • VIEW button works as noted below
    1. Main camera image shows when system starts.
    2. Pressing the [V] button will turn the display off and the recorder will continue to record.
      Press the [V] button again then the display will become active.
    3. Another click on the [V] button starts the sequence from 1~2 again.
  • 2) Playback of the recorded videos on LCD

    • Which file you are working on is shown at the upper
    • right corner and percentage of completion can be found as bar chart on the bottom
    • Date and time data are displayed on the bottom of LCD.
    • [SHOT] button makes the videos played according to time sequence.
    • Pressing the [PLAY] button for more than 3 seconds will make the system return to recording mode followed by an announcement of current audio recording status.
Parking Surveillance Mode
  • While there is no impact, the system records 4 frames/second to save the SD card space and returns to normal full frame recording mode making an EVENT file when it detects an impact to the car.
  • ”Auto switching to Parking mode” option is selected as a default setting and it automatically places the unit in the “Parking Mode” once the car does not move for longer than 10 minutes after the last driving mode recording. The unit will automatically turn back to “Driving Mode” once the unit registers movement.
  • If “Auto Parking” mode is selected in configuration, “Parking Mode” recording can be activated when you press and hold the [PLAY] button for more than 3 seconds if “Auto Parking” is relieved in configuration. When the system commences parking mode again, a voice notification will be announced that the parking mode has been initiated.
  • Once in Parking Mode, the system automatically rearranges its impact sensing sensitivity to the most sensitive in order to register even the slightest impact. After making an EVENT file, it returns to 4 frame recording mode again.
  • No audio is recorded while parking mode is on.
  • To use the parking mode, the product has to be connected to the power source directly. In regards to direct wiring to the vehicle’s power source, we recommend using professional help.
  • Extensive and continuous use of the vehicle’s power source may exhaust the performance of the product. The company is not liable for the damages from continuous use of the product more than 24 hours. We recommend the full power to be off after use of 2~3 days in order to maintain the product longer.
