Installation Use the following procedure to install the SafeDrive HD.

1. Determine the orientation of the cradle that

will be used and the location where it will be placed. • The cradle can be placed normally or upside down to accommodate different windshield inclines or applications. • Place the SafeDrive HD in the cradle and “test fit” the combined unit to ensure an optimal installation location. Make sure both cameras have an unobstructed view and the Event Button is easily accessible by the driver. Note - Do not install the SafeDrive in a location that will obstruct the driver’s view or interfere with the ability to operate the vehicle safety. 2. Thoroughly clean the windshield surface the SafeDrive HD will be mounted to with an alcohol wipe or similar product, ensuring no residue is left. 3. Remove the protective film on the high-bond tape and press the cradle firmly to the windshield surface. 4. Install the power harness into the vehicle: • Red: 12V Power • White: Ignition • Black: Ground 5. Route the cable to the SafeDrive HD’s position around the windshield and/or headliner in a manner that will not interfere with safe operation of the vehicle. 6. Connect the power harness and GPS antenna to the DC IN and GPS IN ports, respectively. 7. Insert the SafeDrive HD into the cradle as shown in the diagram, sliding it in until it clicks. 8. Adjust the Windshield and Cabin Cameras so that each has a clear view.

Recording Events The SafeDrive HD can be configured to record video under the following conditions: Continuous Recording When motion is detected, the SafeDrive HD records video in a series of one to ten minute (configurable) files. Once the storage capacity is reached, new files overwrite (wrap) the oldest files. Events A 30 second event (15 seconds pre-event, 15 seconds post-event) is created when the following occurs: • The event button on the front of the unit is pressed • The configured vehicle speed is exceeded • Hard braking • Sudden vehicle acceleration • Harsh vibration (accelerometer threshold is exceeded)

The thresholds for speed and the acceleromter can be configured (see SafeDrive HD Viewer - Configuration). Event video files cannot be overwritten. Emergency An emergency event (15 seconds pre-event, 15 seconds post-event) is created when the optional panic foot switch is pressed. Emergency event video files cannot be overwritten.

SAFEDRIVE HD USER GUIDE

SD Cards Type The SafeDrive HD utilizes micro SD cards up to 128 GB in capacity. Only micro SD cards supplied by Safety Vision are authorized for use in the SafeDrive HD. Unauthorized memory cards may result in the loss of data. Contact your Account Representative for more information. Formatting For instructions on using the SafeDrive HD Viewer software to format micro SD cards, see page 22. Insertion and Removal Remove the security cover if present, pry open and rotate the micro SD card slot cover.

Technical Support. This file might need to be unzipped first. The firmware update file is titled “update” and will contain two items. Copy the “update” file to the root of a blank micro SD card. The micro SD card may need to be formatted first. Ensure there are no other files present on the micro SD card. Remove power from the SafeDrive HD. Remove any recording storage micro SD cards and insert the update micro SD card into the Primary slot. Apply power to the SafeDrive HD. The unit powers on, and then the GPS status LED (blue) blinks while updating.

CAUTION - DO NOT remove power while the firmware is updating. Only remove power after the process is complete. After the update is complete the SafeDrive HD reboots and powers on automatically (all status LEDs on). 6. When the SafeDrive HD begins recording (recording status LED [green] is blinking), remove power. The SafeDrive HD’s firmware is now updated. 7. Remove the update micro SD card and replace the recording storage micro SD cards. 8. Apply power to the SafeDrive HD.
