connected to the vehicle and the product properly.
• Check the vehicle's battery level.
Check if the volume is set to the minimum. For more information about how to
adjust the volume, refer to "6.5.2 Adjusting the system volume".
• Ensure that the protective film on the camera lens has been removed. The
video may look unclear if the protective film is still on the camera lens.
• Check the installation location of the front or rear camera, turn on the product,
and then adjust the camera's viewing angle.
• Ensure that the memory card has been inserted in the correct direction. Before
inserting the memory card, ensure that the metal contacts on the memory card
are facing toward the lens of the product.
• Turn off the power, remove the memory card, and then check to ensure that the
contacts in the memory card slot are not damaged.
• Ensure that the memory card is an authentic product distributed by
THINKWARE. THINKWARE does not guarantee compatibility and normal
operation of third-party memory cards.
The recorded videos are stored as MP4 video files. Ensure that the video player
installed on your PC supports the playback of MP4 video files.
The GPS signal may not be received in out-of-service areas, or if the product is
located between tall buildings. Also, GPS signal reception may not be available
during storms or heavy rain. Try again on a clear day at a location that is known
to have a good GPS reception. It may take up to 5 minutes until GPS reception is
established.
