INFORMATION TO THE USER
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one more of the
following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING

Damages due to production malfunction, loss of data, or other damages occurring while
using this product shall not be the responsibility of the manufacturer. Although the
product is a device used for recording videos, the product may not save all videos in the
case of a malfunction. In the case of an accident, the sensor may not recognize the
shock when the impact is light and as a result it may not begin recording automatically.
SAFETY ADVICE
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER.
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING:
TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Caution
Install the product where it does not block driver’s visibility
and where there is no airbag installed. This could cause an
accident or might injure the passengers in case of accident.
Please make sure you follow the safety advice/instructions given in the user guide.
4
Caution
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Battery for RTC(Real Time Clock) inside
Caution
When the impact is light like very light, such as a minor bump in the road,
the G-sensor may not recognize the impact and as a result it may not begin
recording automatically. Test and set your own G-sensor level for your vehicle.

Activate the product in an area without large buildings
to improve GPS reception.
2.
The temperature range for optimum operation of the
GPS receiver in your car is -10 ~ 50°C.
3.
When using the product for the first time or after a long
period (more than three days), it may take a little longer
to recognize your current location.
It may take between five and thirty minutes to get GPS reception.
GPS reception may be impaired under the following circumstances.
1) If there is an object at the end of the GPS antenna
2) If your vehicle has metallic elements on the windshields
3) If equipment generating electromagnetic waves that interfere with the GPS
signal is installed in the vehicle e.g.: Other GPS devices such as a certain
type of wireless activated alarms, MP3 and CD players and camera alarms
using GPS.
4) If you are using a receiver connected by cable, electric interference can be
avoided by simply changing the location of the receiver (antenna).
5) On heavily overcast or cloudy days, if the vehicle is in a covered location
such as under a bridge or raised roadway, in a tunnel, an underground
roadway or parking area, inside a building or surrounded by high-rise
buildings.
6) If GPS signal reception is poor, it may take longer to locate your current
position when the vehicle is moving than when it is stationary.
5
The commercial purpose GPS has the average rage error of more
than 15 meters and the range error could be more than 100 meters
due to environmental conditions like buildings, roadside trees etc.

Precautions for SD cards
To optimize use and prolong life of your SD cards
please follow the below instructions.
1.
Use only compatibly tested D-TEG approved SD
cards.
2.
Only use dry and clean SD cards.
3.
Format SD cards at least once every other week or
when the SD card seems corrupted. This will wipe
all data, images, and file names on the card
reducing recording errors.
4.
Insert or remove SD cards only when the device is
completely powered off. Wait until the blue LED is
completed off before removing SD card.
5.
SD cards used for continuously recording equipme
nt such as dash cameras, typically last only 6 mont
hs. Exchange SD cards periodically

If you set the event record mode only, then 100% of SD card capacity is for the
Event recording data.
If you set the normal record mode only, then 100% of SD card capacity is for the
Normal recording data.
If you set dual record mode or different record modes per camera, like camera1 set
as Event record and camera2 set as Normal record, then 30% of SD card capacity
is for the Event recording data and 70% of SD card capacity is for the Normal
recording data.
The total number of Event Data (including Panic and Event) recorded cannot
exceed 1,600.

To record the car signal with video, set the Alarm configuration as below,
To use the Alarm as an Event trigger, (i.e: so Event recording will start when a
door is open or Meter is on) set the Alarm configuration as below,
G-Sensor setting
If G-sensor sensitivity value is too high like 5, it becomes too sensitive, so it will
detect even a light impact or light turn. If G-sensor sensitivity value is too dull, so it
might no detect a notable incident.
So, sensitivity should be set in consideration of a vehicle’s suspension, condition
and also the road condition.
If you don’t want to record an Event triggered by G-sensor, un-check Event
Record box.

To receive the speed from the car using the White (Speed pulse) line,
select the speed pulse type of your car.
If you don’t know the speed pulse type of your car, select “Reset” and
drive for more than 30 minutes.
The BX4000 will compare the speed pulse and GPS speed and
automatically set your car pulse type.

16. Select [LOG] tab windows and then check the log from the log list using
mouse or click [Check All] button. Then click [Load] button.
GPS speed, G sensor X value, G sensor Y value, G sensor Z value data
can be used to narrow a search for journey information. The small check
box at right side of each value should be ticked before the data for search is
inputted. If any recorded video data matches the search query, a list will
show up with [Switch] or [G Sensor] indicators to show how the recording
was triggered.
Log data
Log data will be recorded during driving even if there are no
events. The total log data size can not exceed 48MB. The unit overwrites the
oldest data when 48MB is reached. Using this log data, we can use the data
sorting function to help find specific data (for example, to find all the times
when the vehicle was travelling at more than 80mph(or 80km).
