Camera Mounting Considerations The first time you turn on your device, it provides information to help you mount the camera. The camera affixes to the windshield using the included adhesive mount. The adhesive mount is difficult to remove after it is installed. You should carefully consider the mounting location before you install the mount. • Do not mount the camera in a location that interferes with the driver's view of the road. • You should choose a mounting location that provides the camera a clear view of the road ahead. • You should choose a mounting location that is as high as possible on the center of the windshield. • You should verify the area of the windshield in front of the camera is cleared by the windshield wipers. • You should avoid placing the camera behind a tinted area of the windshield. Installing the Polarizing Filter on the Camera The camera comes with a polarizing filter pre-installed over the lens to help reduce glare from your windshield. If you remove the polarizing filter, you can re-install it. NOTICE Do not rotate the lens cover while it is installed on the camera. 1 Position the filter so the line on the outer rim is facing up.
