  • Page 41: How To Format The Sd Card

    DASH CAM SETTINGS (CONTD.) HOW TO FORMAT THE MEMORY CARD Formatting the SD card Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you reformat the memory card, using the Dash Cam. This will wipe any files from the card and set it up afresh for continued use with your Dash Cam. Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from the card that you may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content.
