Precautions and Notices Precautions and Notices Warning! Do not operate the device while driving. Using this product does not change the requirement for a driver to take full responsibility for his or her behavior. This responsibility includes observing all traffic rules and regulations in order to avoid accidents, personal injury or property damage. For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving. A window mount is needed when using the recorder in a car. Make sure that you place the recorder in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver's view or deployment of airbags. Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reflective material is placed near the lens. Please keep the lens clean. If the car's windscreen is tinted with a coating, it may impact the recording quality. Connect the charger to a proper power source. The voltage requirements are found on the product case and/or packaging. Do not use the charger if the cord becomes damaged. Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture. Caring for Your Device Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage. Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device. Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock. Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow the device to dry out completely before use. The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp objects. Nonadhesive generic screen protectors designed specifically for use on portable devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the screen from minor scratches. Never clean your device with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen and the exterior of your device. Do not use paper towels to clean the screen. Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your device. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause damage to your device and even bodily injury or property damage and will void any warranty. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as your device, its parts or accessories. To discourage theft, do not leave the device and accessories in plain view in an unattended vehicle. Overheating may damage the device. Cleaning the Device When the device is dirty, wipe it with a dry silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If the device is very dirty, remove the dirt with a cloth with neutral cleaner on it and then wipe off the cleaner. Wiping the device with a hard cloth or using using a volatile substance such as thinner or alcohol may cause scratches, deformation, deterioration, or other damage. When the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with water. Rubbing the lens strongly with a dry cloth may cause scratches. Precautions for Installation Install the device in a position where it will not block the front view of the driver (position where hidden by the rear-view mirror). Install the device so that it is within the wiping range of the wiper. Install the device in a position where it will not interfere with the movement of the rear-view mirror. Take care not to install the device over the vehicle inspection sticker or other sticker. Take care not to install the device where it will interfere with driving or airbag operation. When installing the device in a vehicle equipped with a driving support system, check the instruction manual of the vehicle and then select an installation location that will not interfere with the driving support system. If the device is installed incorrectly, event recording or parking recording may not work correctly. Refer to "How to Install" for the loosening of fixing knob, installation orientation, installation angle, and other information and then install the device correctly. Do not install the device near a digital terrestrial television antenna or an electrical component. Doing so may reduce television receiver sensitivity or cause flickering and noise. Use a commercially available cleaning cloth or the like to wipe off all dirt and grease on the mounting surface and then fix the mount base in place. If the device is re-affixed or mounted using, for example, general-purpose double-sided tape, the adhesion strength may weaken and cause the device to fall. After mounting the device, leave it for 24 hours before use to enable the mounting strength of the mount bracket to improve. Failing to do so may result in the adhesion of the mount bracket becoming weak and the device falling. Fix the cord in place with tape or the like so that it does not interfere with driving. Precautions for Use Do not block the camera lens, get dirt on it, or place a reflective object near it. When LED traffic lights are recorded, video in which they appear to be flickering or flashing may be recorded. JVCKENWOOD assumes no responsibility with regard to the distinguishing or recording of traffic lights. If coating is used on the windshield of the vehicle, recording quality may be affected. There is no guarantee that the device can record video in all conditions. Others About software This device includes the software owned by following third parties.

SD Cards Cards supported by this device Standard Capacity Speed class Micro SD 4GB to 128GB Class 10 or above Precautions for Using SD cards When using a commercially available SD card, also check the instructions supplied with the SD card. Be sure to format (initialize) an SD card with the device before use. SD cards have a product lifespan, such as the number of times that writing can be performed. It is recommended to replace the SD card with a new one regularly depending on the usage conditions. When inserting and removing an SD card, confirm the orientation, do not bend it, and do not apply a strong force or impact to it. Do not directly touch the contact part with a hand or metal. The stored data may be damaged or lost due to static electricity. Be sure to back up (copy) the required files in the SD card to a PC or other device. The saved data may be lost due to the usage conditions of the SD card. Please note that JVCKENWOOD cannot compensate for any damages arising from the loss of saved files. Format the memory card periodically. Do not remove the memory card while recording or during playback because it may corrupt the data on the memory card. The device may not operate normally if you use an SD card that was used by another device, such as a computer or digital camera. Format the memory card in the device. Depending on the specifications of the memory card, the reading and writing speeds for the device's data may differ. Complies with IDA Standards DB02771
