Installation

Video guide: video.rexingusa.com

1. Attaching the front camera to the window mount
   Before the device can be used in a car, it is essential to first install a properly attached window mount. Make sure that you place the recorder in a safe, appropriate location where it will not obstruct the driver's view.
   Clean windshield before apply mount, do not attach camera for at least 20 minutes.
2. Inserting a memory card
   You will need to insert a memory card before you can begin recording. The recorder supports MicroSD cards with a capacity of up to 256GB. For reliable operation, use a Class 10 memory card with a capacity of at least 8GB.
3. Connecting the charger to the car's 12V DC outlet
   Be sure to connect only the Rexing-approved charger designed and supplied specifically for use with your device. Using an incompatible charger can cause serious personal injury or damage to your device.
4. Format the memory card
   To ensure the memory card works on the dash cam, we recommend using the dash cam to format the memory card, (please refer to Formatting the Memory Card section).

DO NOT insert or remove a memory card while the device is powered on.

Charging the battery

Charge the device by connecting the camera via the USB car charger port. Use only Rexing-approved chargers. Using unapproved chargers or cables can damage the device or cause the battery to explode.

Connect the car charger's jack to the USB charging port, and then plug the charger into the car cigarette lighter or 12V DC power outlet.

• Battery is mainly used to save files in emergency. Please always connect Rexing V2 to external power while it is in use.
• When device detects no power supply, it will automatically power off after 5 seconds. To turn on the device again, you will need to do so manually by pressing the ON / OFF button.
• If the battery is completely discharged, the device will not turn on immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before attempting to turn on the device.
• The device can be used while it is charging, although it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
• If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the screen may not function properly. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.
• While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the device's performance or lifespan.
• If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to an authorizedRexing Service Center.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Inserting the memory card

Note: All micro SD cards have a limited life span of being rewritten about 500 times. For 32GB memory card you will need to replace your micro SD card after 3,000 hours of use to prevent any freezing issues or corruption of the card or videos.

If you are using a high endurance micro SD card this life span goes up to 2,000 times being rewritten. You will need to replace it after 12,000 hours of use to prevent any freezing issues or corruption of the card or videos.

Your device accepts memory cards with a maximum capacity of 256GB. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some cards may not be compatible with your device. Using an incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored on it.

Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up as shown in the image below.

• Insert memory card with the gold-colored contacts facing upwards.
• Push the memory card into the slot until it locks in place.
• Click sound when memory card locks in place.
• Using a coin or other tool push memory card will make it easier.

It is recommended that you reformat a memory card after every time that images are transferred from it to a computer, or at least once a month.

Reformatting a memory card keeps important elements of data and file structure clean, helping to prevent error messages and missing images. Reformatting also restores the memory card, which can help prevent it from becoming corrupted.
