Installing your dash cam in a vehicle

Note:

The dash cam should be placed near the rear-view mirror to ensure optimal camera angle and video

quality.

For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving. Using this product does

not exempt the driver from taking full responsibility for his/her driving behaviour, which includes

observing all trac rules and safety regulations.

Make sure that the camera lens is not blocked and no reective material appears near the lens. Please

keep the lens clean.

Video quality may degrade if the vehicle's windscreen is tinted.

The system will automatically calibrate the G-sensor during start-up. If the device’s viewing angle or

installation position was changed after start-up, restart the device to calibrate the G-sensor again.

Otherwise the G-sensor may malfunction and impact other device features such as event-driven

recording and Parking Mode (not available on some models) monitoring.

The dash cam is designed to stay connected with the vehicle power adapter at all times, however,

the device is capable of saving the last recording in case the vehicle’s power system fails during an

incident.

Mounting the dash cam

Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground and follow the instructions below to mount

your dash cam.

Note:

Installation illustrations are for reference only. Device and cable placement may vary depending on

vehicle model. If you encounter any problems during installation, contact a professional installer

(such as the service personnel of the vehicle) for assistance.

7

1. Before attaching the device mount to the

windscreen, it is recommended to clean the

windscreen with rubbing alcohol and make sure

that the installation area is free of dust, oil and

grease.

2. Attach the electrostatic lm to the windscreen

(make sure there are no air bubbles trapped

underneath), then install the mount over the

electrostatic lm.

3. When adjusting the viewing angle, make sure that the camera’s view is parallel with level

ground and the ground to sky ratio is close to a 50/50 split.

4. Connect the vehicle power adapter to the cigarette lighter. Route the cables through the

top ceiling and the A-pillar so that it does not interfere with driving. Make sure that the

cable installation does not interfere with the vehicles airbags or other safety features.

Note:

If your vehicle’s windscreen has a third visor frit (a patch

of black dots around the rear view mirror), please do not

attempt to ax the electrostatic lm/dash cam in this area

as it is likely to fall o.

8

Turning the device on/o

Once the dash cam is connected to vehicle power via the power adapter, it will turn on/o

once the vehicle engine is started/shut o, respectively. You can also turn the device on or

o manually by pressing the power button (the topmost function button) for three seconds.

While the dash cam is on, press any one of function buttons to enable the display.

Resetting your dash cam

Occasionally you may need to perform a hardware reset when the dash cam stops responding

or if it appears to be “frozen” or unresponsive. To shut down the dash cam, press and hold the

power button until the system powers o.

If you cannot turn the dash cam o by using the power button, insert a small pin (such as a

straightened paper clip) into the Reset button to restart the dash cam.

9

Using a memory card

In order to record video footage, Navman dash cameras need a microSD. It is very important

to use a microSD card specically designed to be used in dash cameras. It will ensure the card

will be more reliable and last longer; the wrong type of card has a greater chance of failing,

even after a short period of time. Please visit www.navman.com.au/memory-card or

www.navman.co.nz/memory-card for more information on recommended SD cards.

To insert an SD card, hold the card by its edges and gently

insert it into the slot. To remove a card, gently push the

top edge of the card inwards to release it and pull it out of

the slot.

Formatting a card

To format the memory card (all data will be erased), press

> Format.

Note:

DO NOT apply pressure to the centre of the memory card.

Navman cannot guarantee product compatibility with memory cards from all manufacturers. Please

always check the specications/warranty to ensure the memory card can be used in dash cameras and

loop recording devices.

You may need to format your memory card periodically to ensure it remains in good working condition.

You should use separate MicroSD cards for the dash cam and other electronic products (such as a

digital camera).

You are advised to turn the device o before removing the memory card.

Recording videos while driving

Continuous loop recording

Continuous loop recording will automatically commence shortly after the device is powered

up. Recording can be paused by pressing . Press to resume recording.

Videos taken during continuous loop recording are divided into multiple clips and saved

under the “Normal” folder, but recording does not stop between video clips. Once the folder

has reached its allocated capacity, the system will automatically record over the oldest video.

Event-driven recording

During continuous loop recording, if a sudden event has been detected, such as running over

a road bump, vehicle collision, high-speed driving, or making a sharp turn, the G-sensor will

prompt the dash cam to record the event.

Note: The sensitivity level of the G-sensor can be adjusted by going to > Video Recording >

G-sensor Sensitivity.

The event/emergency recording saves the duration from 3 seconds before the event until 17

seconds after the event. Event-driven recordings are saved in the “Event” folder. Once the

folder has reached its allocated capacity, the system will automatically record over the oldest

video. You can also press to manually activate emergency recording while continuous loop

recording is in progress.

12

Recording videos while parked

Note: The dash cam cannot operate in Parking Mode by relying on its internal battery. An

additional accessory such as an optional battery pack, power bank or MiVue™ Smartbox

accessory is required.. Please visit www.navman.com.au/mivue-smartbox or

www.navman.co.nz/mivue-smartbox for purchasing information.

Parking Mode monitoring is disabled by default. Before enabling Parking Mode, please check

your device’s memory storage allocation. Go to > System > Storage Allocation to set

a proper allocation for parking recording. Changing memory allocation will erase the contents

on the memory card, so save any videos or photos to your computer rst.

You can enable the function by going to > Parking Mode > Detection > Smart

Mode. When movements or vibrations are detected during Parking Mode monitoring,

the system will save the duration from 3 seconds before the event until 17 seconds after

the event. Parking Mode recordings are saved in the “Parking” folder. Once the folder has

reached its allocated capacity, the system will automatically record over the oldest video saved

under this folder.

Note:

l You can press and hold to manually enter Parking Mode while continuous loop recording is in

progress.

l

Parking Mode recording is triggered by the G-sensor and motion detected by the front camera. You can

change the sensitivity levels by selecting > Parking mode > Motion Detection or G-Sensor

Sensitivity.

Press to exit Parking Mode and resume continuous loop recording. You will be prompted

to view any saved recordings.

13
