2-1 Overview
2-2 Inserting a microSD Memory Card
Before you can start recording, you need to insert a microSD memory card into the DrivePro.
1. Insert a microSD memory card into the card slot of the DrivePro.
WARNING
- Always format a new memory card in the DrivePro before using it for the first time. To format a new memory card, press the Settings button during recording, and select Format Card.
- Formatting will erase all data on the memory card.
- DrivePro 110 can only support the FAT32 file system, not exFAT/NTFS. Please select FAT32 for firmware update.
2. To remove, push to eject the memory card out of the slot.
WARNING
Do not remove the memory card during shutdown to avoid damages to the memory card and loss of recorded videos.
- We recommend Transcend’s High Endurance microSD cards or MLC-based memory cards to ensure the best recording performance.

2-3 Mounting the DrivePro
-
Insert the mount bracket into the top of the DrivePro, and slide sideways until you hear a click.
- Thoroughly clean and dry the area of the windshield you intend to mount the DrivePro. If possible, mount it in the middle of the windshield and close to the height of the rear-view mirror for the best field of view.
