• A window mount is needed when using the dash cam in a car. Make sure that you place the dash cam 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.
• To ensure the highest quality recordings, you are advised to place the dash cam near the rear view mirror.
• Select an appropriate location for mounting the device in a vehicle. Never place the device where the driver's field of vision is blocked.
• If the car's windscreen is tinted with a reflective coating, it may be athermic and impact the GPS reception. In this instance, please mount your device where there is a “clear area.”
• The system will automatically calibrate the G sensor of the device during start-up. To avoid G sensor malfunction, always turn the device on AFTER you mount it in the vehicle properly.

Make sure that your car is parked on level ground. Follow the instructions to mount your dash cam in a vehicle securely.
