Location

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

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

3. Peel off the 3M sticker protective film from the mount bracket.
4. Press and apply force on the mount onto the windshield behind the rear- view mirror.

Installing the Optional Hardwiring Kit

If you wish to use the parking mode on the camera, you will need to install the hardwiring kit provided (HWK-1A). Choose 10A-30A rated fuse slots to wire your dash cam and refer to your vehicle's manual to avoid selecting slots associated with safety features.

1. Locate the location of the fuse box in your vehicle.
2. There are 3 wires that need to be connected: connect the Yellow cable that goes to a constant fuse, RED cable that goes to an ignition-switched fuse and BLACK cable that goes to a metal ground bolt.

   RED cable connect to car ACC
   BLACK cable connect to car GROUND
3. Connect the micro USB end of the hardwiring cable to the camera micro USB port.
4. Start your vehicle to see if it works. Arrange and hide the cables to avoid obstruction for the driver's view.

It is advisable to get a car electrician to professionally install the hardwiring kit.
