Notes on Installation

1. Before installing the device, measure the front windshield

viewing area, make sure not to block the driver's front view,

install the device below the rear view mirror (the central, higher

right position of the front windshield). And we recommend that

the sky and the land each occupy 50% of the screen, fix the car

holder and then adjust the device so that the lane ahead is

aligned with the screen. Proper installation enables the device

to maximize the efficiency and can also enhance the accuracy

of LDWS.

2. Make sure that the lens is within the wiping range of the

windscreen wiper to ensure a clear view when it rains.

3. Do not touch the lens with your fingers. Finger grease may be

left on the lens and will result in unclear videos or pictures. Clean

the lens on a regular basis.

4. Do not install the device on a tinted window. Doing so may

damage the tint film.

5. Make sure that the installation position is not hindered by the

tinting on a window.

6. This product is suitable for light windshield or light colour heat-

resistant film windows, it will affect video quality if it is installed

on dark tinted windows or windows with dark heat-resistant film.

7. Only use the supplied battery charger. Do not use any other

branded battery charger, using any other charger may cause

damage to your equipment or may cause the battery to explode.

8. The suction cup bracket is designed for temporary mounting

and will require periodic re-installation. The adhesive bracket is

designed for one time and long term installation. We recommend

using the adhesive bracket if permanent installation is desired.

We are NOT liable for any damages or data loss due to improper

bracket mounting or the suction cup bracket losing suction and

falling off.
