WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. 3 GPS RECEPTION 1.! Activate the product in an area without large buildings to improve GPS reception. The commercial purpose GPS has the average range 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. 2.! The temperature range for optimum operation of the GPS receiver in your car is -10 ~ 50°C. 1.! 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. 4 CONTENTS Smart Witness SVC300GPS Receiver & Recording Unit Remote Controller 4GB SD memory card (Note: Analysis Software is on this SD card) Sticker for mounting (double sided 3M tape x1) Smart Witness SVC300 GPS Antenna Unit USB SD Card Reader Wire Splice clips (x5) 5 CONTENTS Power Cable AV Output Cable 2x Camera Input Cable 6 IDENTIFYING PARTS SVC300GPS JOURNEY RECORDER FRONT AV Output SD Door SD Slot External MIC input REAR Speaker Internal Microphone Remote Control Input GPS Input Camera Input 1, 2 Power Input & Alarm (Car Signal) Input Rear View Camera Input 7 IDENTIFYING PARTS REMOTE CONTROLLER Snap Shot Button Play Button Overwrite LED (Red) Record Button Record LED (Blue) AV OUTPUT CABLE Audio Output Video Output 1 Video Output 2 8 IDENTIFYING PARTS POWER & CAR SIGNAL INPUT Power (+) (Red) Ground (Black) Alarm 1 (Blue) Fuse 250V 3A Alarm3 (Yellow) Car pulse (speed) (White) Alarm 2 (Green) 9 FUNCTION (MAIN UNIT) Automatic start Turn on the vehicle power, SVC300GPS will be automatically started.
