POSITION

Your new BLAUPUNKT Dashcam comes with default settings that allow you to start using your camera right out of the box without changing any settings. Make sure to format the memory card before first use.

Most users will install the dash cam behind the rear view mirror. Install the rear camera at the top and middle of the back windshield.

Please install your new BLAUPUNKT Dashcam once your vehicle is turned off and parked in a safe and well-lit place.

INSTALLATION

1. Make sure to clean your front windshield from dust particles and any evaporated grease from the dashboard surface. 2. Attach your BLAUPUNKT Dashcam with the provided windshield tape mount. Set the camera lens pointing forward to the center when installing it.

Note: Make sure that the camera's view is not obstructed by any window tint or any other objects. If your vehicle has side curtain airbags, please be very careful when running any cables along your vehicle windows. Ensure you are not running cable past any of the airbags as this can prevent the airbags from deploying.

③ Attach the Windshield Tape Mount by peeling off the electrostatic sticker film and hold it tight against the windshield to remove any air between the electrostatic sticker and the windshield. Then remove the film on the tape mount and attach the camera in the same way.

DC 4050

④ Clean the back windshield and put on the electrostatic sticker in the same way as above. Attach the rear camera to the top and middle of the back windshield. ⑤ Plug the charger cable into the charger to connect the type-C port of the camera to the car's cigarette lighter socket.

Caution: Only use the provided charger and charger cable to power the camera, otherwise the camera may frequently reboot due to insufficient power.

⑥ Start the engine and verify that your dashcam works properly.

Do not remove the Micro-SD card while your dashcam is ON as it may cause loss of data or damage to your memory card. Always remove or insert the memory card while the dashcam is OFF.

⑦ Organize and hide the power cable so that it doesn't interfere with the driver's vision. ⑧ Adjust the lens angle of the front and rear camera (1/3 angle of the camera towards the sky is the best viewing angle).

Caution: Make sure to remove the plastic lens screen protector from the lens before recording, otherwise your videos will look blurry and blocked.

CHARGING

Only use the supplied charger and charger cable to power your BLAUPUNKT Dashcam. There is a spare USB port for charging your mobile phones or other devices with max. 2.4 AMP.

① Plug the charger cable into the charger to connect to the car cigarette lighter. ② Do NOT connect the camera to PC for charging. ③ The dashcam will power on automatically and record as soon as power is supplied, and the dashcam will save the last video file and power off automatically after cutting the power supply. ④ The dashcam has a built-in button cell and it is NOT intended to supply power for recording. Make sure to always keep the camera plugged into the power.

TURNING YOUR CAMERA ON/OFF

Auto Power ON/OFF

• Auto Power ON: BLAUPUNKT Dash Cam is designed to turn ON and start recording automatically when it receives power, i.e. when the car engine is started.
• Auto Power OFF: the camera is also pre-configured to turn itself OFF automatically when the power gets disconnected, i.e. when the car key is turned to the LOCK position.

Caution: Some trucks/cars' 12V cigarette outlet is always HOT, which means it provides constant power even when the car is turned OFF and LOCKED.

If this is the case for your vehicle, then the auto ON/OFF feature will not work. And if you leave the camera continuously recording when the car is turned off, then it will drain your car/truck's battery and you might not have enough power to start your car for next time. To remedy this situation, you can do one of the two options:

- Hardwire your dash cam to your car's fuse box with 3-Lead Auto Trigger Hardwire Kit (Hardwire kit is not included, please contact us to purchase separately)

- Change the connection in the fuse box for your 12V outlet to socket which only supplies power when car key is turned to ACC or ON position.

Manual Power ON/OFF

• To manually turn ON: Long press and hold power button for 3-4 seconds

- To manually turn OFF: Press and hold the power button for 3-4 seconds, the camera will automatically save the last file and shut down.

Note: Be sure to insert the memory card before powering up the device. Do NOT insert/remove the memory card while the camera is turned ON.

INSERTING/REMOVING A MICRO SD CARD

- Must use only Brand Name, Class U3 or higher speed Micro-SD Card. Max support 256GB.

① TO INSTALL

Make sure the camera is turned OFF First. Then align the GOLD CONTACTS facing towards the front of the camera (Lens Side). Then insert the memory card half way in. Then use the finger nail or a paper clip to push the card all the way inward until it clicks and locks in place.

② TO REMOVE

To remove the MicroSD card, gently push its edge inward until it clicks, and then pops out, then simply pull it out of the slot.

NOTE:

If you experience camera FREEZING or LAGGING or STOPS Recording or NO Recording Files after few seconds. Then It is the issue of the MEMORY CARD. (NOT THE CAMERA ISSUE) - Please CHANGE MicroSD card.

BLAUPUNKT Dash Camera is High Bit-Rate 2K Video recording device. Which requires High Speed Rating SPECIFIC Micro-SD Cards.

FORMATTING MEMORY CARD

① Press Power button to format the memory card when you hear Voice Prompt - "Please press the Power button to format your memory card" ② You can also connect your BLAUPUNKT Dashcam to your smart phone directly by using built-in Wi-Fi feature (See Page 11) to format the Micro-SD Card.

Note:

• We recommend that you format the memory card every month to keep it clean for smooth operation.
• Please note that memory cards have their self life span, after so many uses of writing data over and over, eventually they will become inoperable. When that happens, please replace your memory card.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q1. Dashcam can't power on

a. Please make sure the dashcam is correctly connected with the provided charger. Since the built-in cell button is to save the last file in an emergency, powering on with the provided charger connected is suggested. ONLY use the charger that comes with the device, do NOT use a standard vehicle USB port.

b. Let the DashCam stay charging for about 10 minutes. Sometimes, due to storage and delivery, the battery may run completely flat. This is normal.

Q2. Stop recording or "Card Full" Error Message/Voice Prompt

a. UHS 3 or higher micro SD card is recommended. Micro SD card specifications vary from one brand to another, which may not function as expected when used with the DVR. Please test for micro SD compatibility before purchasing a micro SD card.

b. Usually caused by too many "locked" files. Go to Mobile APP settings, Format, delete all data. If road conditions are too bumpy, this may also cause locked files, lower the G-Sensor to Low.

c. Restart dashcam with long press Power button.

Q3. "Abnormal Card" Error Message

a. Please confirm that the micro SD Card is inserted correctly and "clicks" to lock. If not, the SD Card is most likely inserted wrong.

b. Format SD card from mobile APP settings.

c. Replace UHS 3 or higher micro SD card.

Q4. Date & Time are incorrect

a. Restore factory default from the mobile APP Settings.

b. If the internal battery runs completely flat, then the dashcam needs to be fully charged.

c. Restart the dash cam and connect with smart phone to synchronize the date & time.

Q5. Blurry video or picture or horizontal stripe interference on image

a. Make sure all protective adhesive is peeled off the lens.

b. Please clean the lens with soft cotton cloth and don't touch the lens. No dirt and finger print.

c. The quality will be affected in front lighting and back lighting environment.

d. Make sure to power the dashcam with the provided charger and charger cable.

Q6. Built-in battery cannot support recording.

This is normal. The built-in button cell is small and is designed to save footage when the unit loses power.

Q7. The device has frozen after quick-operating press.

Please wait at least 1 or 2 seconds to finish your last press before you start the next one. Do NOT press buttons thick and fast.

Q8. The device has frozen/stopped working after recording for a while.

a. Check if you formatted the SD card using the mobile app before first use. b. We always recommend that you make your purchase from a reputable vendor and steer clear of generic brands. c. Check the speed of the micro SD card. UHS 3 or higher is recommended for the highest data transfer, especially if the file size is larger. d. Restart the dashcam with a long press of the Power Button.

Q9. I find no files for front/rear camera when attempting to play back a file.

a. Check if the capacity of the SD card is occupied by many "locked" files and not enough. Go to Mobile App settings, Format, delete all data. b. The files may have been overwritten in a record cycle (looping). c. There may be some corrupt data sectors on the SD card, please format the SD card using the mobile app. d. Replace with an Ultra High Speed 3 or higher micro SD card if still no videos are found in the memory card.

Q10. Can't play back files (.ts and .jpg).

The computer does not have the proper codec to play this file. We recommend VLC Media Player to view your videos.

Q11. My memory card has degraded and needs to be replaced.

All micro SD memory cards wear out after they are overwritten over and over for a long time. Periodically formatting the card can extend its lifetime and improve performance. Owing to the dashcam recording continuously, you may need to replace the memory card periodically. Your dashcam detects memory card errors automatically and alerts you when it is time to format or replace your memory card.

You can take these actions to help extend the lifetime of the memory card.

a. Format the memory card at least once every three months. We recommend to format

Q11. My memory card has degraded and needs to be replaced.

every month for recording stability.

b. If the dashcam gives a memory card error message or voice alert, first try to format the

memory card and then, if necessary, replace the memory card.

c. Turn off the dashcam when your vehicle is not in use

d. If your dashcam is not connected to an ignition-switched vehicle power outlet, you

should turn off the dashcam when your vehicle is not in use to prevent the dashcam

from recording. Transfer saved video footage to a computer. The memory card lasts

longer when more free space is available on the card.

e. Use a memory card with a higher storage capacity because higher-capacity memory

cards are overwritten less frequently, they usually last longer.

f. Use a high quality micro SD card with Ultra High Speed 3 or higher speed.

g. Purchase your memory card from a reputable brand vendor.

Q12. I got no voice in the video, no G-Sensor, and no date and time.

There may be abnormal use to cause loss of function, please set the factory default in

the Settings of Mobile APP.

Q13. Camera gets hot while it is operating.
