installed correctly.
@2017 REXING All Rights Reserved.
2. Mounting the rear camera
Mount the rear camera as shown below, using rear camera extension cable,
connect rear camera to the main unit.
3. Inserting a memory card
You will need to insert a memory card before you can begin recording. The
recorder supports cards with a capacity of up to 32GB. For reliable operation,
use a Class 10 high-endurance memory card with a capacity of at least 8GB.
4. Connecting the charger to the car's 12V DC outlet
Be sure to connect only the Rexing-approved charger designed and supplied
specifically for use with your device. Using an incompatible charger can
cause serious personal injury or damage to your device.
@2017 REXING All Rights Reserved.
5. Format the memory card
To ensure the memory card works on the dash cam, we recommend using
the dash cam to format the memory card, (please refer to Formatting the
Memory Card section on Page 23).
DO NOT insert or remove a memory card while the device is powered on.
Charging the battery
Charge the device by connecting the camera via the USB car charger port. Use
only Rexing-approved chargers. Using unapproved chargers or cables can
damage the device or cause the battery to explode.
Connect the car charger’s jack to the USB charging port, and then plug the
charger into the car cigarette lighter or 12V DC power outlet.
•
Internal battery is mainly used to save files in emergency. Please
always connect the device to external power while it is in use.
•
When the device detects no power supply, it will automatically power
off after 5 seconds. To turn on the device again, you will need to do
so manually by pressing the ON / OFF button.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, the device will not turn on
immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery
to charge for a few minutes before attempting to turn on the device.
•
The device can be used while it is charging, although it may take
longer to fully charge the battery.
@2017 REXING All Rights Reserved.
•
If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the
screen may not function properly. If this happens, unplug the charger
from the device.
•
While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should
not affect the device’s performance or lifespan.
•
If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger
to an authorized Rexing Service Center.

device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
Inserting the memory card
Note: For a 32GB memory card, you will need to replace your micro SD
card after 3,000 hours of use to prevent any freezing issues or corruption
of the card or videos.
When using a high-endurance card, you will need to replace it after 12,000
hours of use to prevent any freezing issues or corruption of the card or videos.
The device accepts memory cards with a maximum capacity of 32GB.
Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some cards may not be
compatible with your device. Using an incompatible card may damage the
device or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored on it.
Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up as shown in the image
below.
•
Insert memory card with the gold-colored contacts facing downwards.
•
Push the memory card into the slot until it locks in place.
@2017 REXING All Rights Reserved.
•
Click sound when memory card locks in place.
•
Using a coin or other tool push memory card will make it easier.
Reformatting a memory card keeps important elements of data and file structure
clean, helping to prevent error messages and missing images. Reformatting
also restores the memory card, which can help prevent it from becoming
corrupted.
It is recommended that you reformat a memory card after every time that
images are transferred from it to a computer, or at least once a month.
