4. Opstelling en installering

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance of your dash cam. Follow these steps carefully:

4.1 Voorbereiding vir installasie

1. Kies 'n ligging: Select a spot on your windshield that does not obstruct your view, gewoonlik agter die agterkantview spieël.
2. Maak die voorruit skoon: Ensure the mounting area is clean and dry for secure adhesion.
3. Plaas SD-kaart in: Insert a compatible microSD card (not included, unless specified) into the dash cam's card slot. Ensure the card is formatted before first use (refer to Section 6.1).

4.2 Montering van die Dash Cam

1. Attach the mounting bracket to the dash cam unit.
2. Remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the bracket.
3. Firmly press the dash cam with the bracket onto the chosen windshield location for at least 30 seconds.
4. For the G980H, install the rear camera on the rear windshield, ensuring a clear view.

4.3 Kragverbinding

1. Koppel die kragkabel aan die paneelbordkamera se kragtoevoerpoort.
2. Route the power cable along the edge of the windshield and dashboard to the vehicle's 12V power outlet (cigarette lighter socket) or fuse box.

• Laanvertrekwaarskuwing: Alerts you if you unintentionally drift out of your lane.
• Headway Monitoring: Helps maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
