port of your vehicle, as shown in the diagram.

5.Format the memory card

To ensure your camera records to your Micro SD card properly and without

error, you must format the card within the camera.

Charging the Battery

Connect your camera to your vehicle via the included car charging cable to

power your camera and charge the battery while driving.

Connect the charger to the car cigarette lighter or 12V~24V DC power outlet,

then insert the mini-USB end of the charger into the mini-USB port on the

camera.

You should always connect the camera to a power source while recording.

The internal battery is primarily used to save files in the event of an

emergency and is only intended to handle a maximum of 15 minutes of

disconnected operation.

If the battery is completely depleted, the device will not turn on

immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to

charge for at least 5 minutes before attempting to turn on the device.

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 authorized Carigogo Service Center or contact Customer Care.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to

the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the

warranty.

Use only Carigogo-approved chargers. Using unapproved chargers

or cables can damage the device or cause the battery to explode.
