Safety, and Maintenance Guidelines

1. Professional Installation Recommended
   For optimal performance and compliance with regulations, it is strongly advised to have the device professionally installed.

2. Mounting Location

   • Install the device in a location that does not obstruct the driver's view of the road or interfere with the deployment of airbags or other safety equipment.
   • Ensure the device and its cables do not interfere with vehicle controls such as steering, brakes, clutch, or accelerator pedals.

3. Cable Management

   • Route cables to avoid interference with vehicle operations and prevent entanglement with the driver or passengers.
   • Keep cables away from moving parts, heat sources, and areas where they could be pinched or damaged.
   • Use cable management tools (e.g., zip ties, adhesive clips) to secure cables firmly in place.

4. Electrical Connections

   • Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines and local regulations for all electrical connections.
   • Do not modify, cut, or splice existing vehicle wiring.
   • Use only the power adapter and cables provided with the device or approved by the manufacturer.

5. Compliance with Local Laws

   • It is the owner/operator’s responsibility to ensure the device complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, especially regarding privacy and electronic surveillance.
   • Familiarize yourself with regulations concerning audio and video recording in your jurisdiction and adhere to them.

6. Regular Maintenance

   • Inspection: Periodically inspect the device, its mounting, and cable connections to ensure they remain securely attached and properly positioned.
   • Cleaning: Keep the camera lenses clean by using a soft cloth to ensure clear recordings. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the lens.
   • Device Health: Check system status indicators (LEDs) regularly to confirm proper operation. Refer to the article Understanding LED Statuses for detailed information.
   • Updates: Perform firmware updates as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain the latest features and security enhancements.

7. Distraction Warning

   • Do not operate, adjust, or view the device while driving. Safely pull over before making any changes to settings or reviewing footage.

8. Modifications

   • Do not modify, disassemble, or attempt to repair the device. Unauthorized modifications may void the warranty and compromise safety features.

9. Emergency Services

   • In the event of an accident or emergency, prioritize personal safety and contacting emergency services over operating the device.

By following these installation, safety, and maintenance guidelines, you can ensure the device operates efficiently, complies with regulations, and maintains its performance over time.

Warning
If at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed a warning lights up on the vehicle dash or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control, and serious injury.
