Installation

Location

To have a better view, try to install at the center of the windshield. Make sure the lens is located in a place where the windshield wiper can clean the window to ensure view is clear.

Make sure the device is not installed in a place where it will interfere with the safety bag. Make sure the GPS will not be obstructed by the windshield's sun control film (window tint).

Installing the Mount onto the Windshield

  1. Slide the sticker mount bracket into the device bracket slot and make sure it fits tightly.
  2. Clean the area you desire to have the dash cam placed before sticking the device.
  3. Peel off the sticker protective film from the 3M sticker
  4. Press and apply force on the mount onto the windshield behind the rear- view mirror.
  5. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera by loosening the screw of the bracket and fasten it back to secure the viewing angle. We recommend the camera should point slightly downwards ~10° below eye level.

GPS Reception information

Surrounded with tall buildings, in a tunnel or poor weather conditions may result in poor GPS reception or even lose GPS signal. Over-tinting or a rain sensor on the windshield can affect GPS reception.

If the signal is unstable even when you are driving, please try changing the installation spot of your dash camera. For the first time use, it takes about 15~20 minutes to get GPS signal, and after that, it normally takes about 3 minutes.

Sticker mount is difficult to remove after it is installed and will not stick well on a curved/textured or wet surface.
