Please install a 15A fuse in line with the 12v wire to avoid short

circuits and possible equipment damage.

From the power supply to DVR, all power cables must be able to

withstand more than 60Watts. For example, when the vehicle power

supply output voltage is 12V, the source line must be able to

withstand 5 Amps or more.

Please install the equipment in a dry environment; avoid damp

areas, areas where water may drip or spray, etc.

To extend the life of the equipment, please install in a safe place,

away from moving parts and excessive vibration.

The equipment should be installed in the vehicles interior, in a well

ventilated area; DO NOT install in a location with no ventilation.

Please ensure that the equipment is away from any direct heat

sources in the vehicle cabin to avoid possible overheating and

device failure.

Please install in a location that ensures that passengers and/or

drivers cannot interfere with and damage any component(s) of the

device.

It is recommended that the power cord be wrapped in heat shrink

or similar wire protection material, which will help to prevent a

short circuit or disconnection.

PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THE DEVICE. DEVICE CONTAINS NO USER

SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
