  • Setting up the voltage: If the voltage of vehicle battery falls lower than the preset voltage value, the power to the recorder will be disconnected automatically.
  • Setting up the time: If the time passes the preset time (by checking the time after vehicle ignition is turned off), the power to the recorder will be disconnected automatically.

3. Check and confirm the vehicle's voltage by using the electricity tester as battery voltages varies by vehicle. You must confirm your vehicle's voltage.

  • Use the electricity tester to locate the fuse from which the power is supplied even when the vehicle is turned off, such as the emergency flashing hazard lights, illumination, interior and door lights etc. Connect the yellow wire (B+) to the fuse.
