4. Орнотуу боюнча колдонмо

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. If you are unsure about any steps, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.

1. Сактагыч кутучаңызды табыңыз: The location and type of your vehicle's fuse box can vary. Refer to your car's owner's manual for specific instructions.
2. Identify Battery & ACC Fuses: Use a multimeter to identify a constant power fuse (Battery) and an accessory power fuse (ACC). The constant power fuse should show 12V/24V with the engine off, while the ACC fuse should show 0V with the engine off and 12V/24V with the engine on.
3. Remove Selected Fuses: Carefully remove the identified Battery and ACC fuses using a fuse puller.
4. Crimp Add-A-Fuse Kit: Crimp the appropriate add-a-fuse kit to the red (Battery+) and yellow (ACC) wires of the hardwire cable.
5. Connect Fuse Tap: Insert the metal strands of the hardwire cable into the metal tube of the fuse tap, then crimp it tightly. Insert the original fuses into the fuse taps.
6. Install Fuse Taps: Insert the fuse taps into the previously identified fuse slots in the fuse box.
7. Install Ground Wire: Select a metal screw near the fuse box, loosen it, insert the black (Ground) wire's metal terminal under the screw, and tighten securely.
8. Connect Hardwire Cable to Dashcam: Connect the HK6 hardwire cable's Type-C plug into the power port on the top of the dashcam's GPS mount. Ensure it is connected to the GPS Type-C port only.
9. Test the Dashcam: Start the vehicle to power on the dashcam. Enter the dashcam settings menu and enable Parking Mode. The parking mode icon should appear on the screen.
10. Conceal Wiring: Follow the recommended wiring shown in the diagram below and use the trim removal tool to hide the hardwire cable along the vehicle's interior.

5. Электр схемасы

The HK6 Hardwire Cable features three main wires for connection:

• Red Wire (Battery+): Connects to a constant fuse slot (always-on power).
• Yellow Wire (ACC): Connects to an ACC fuse slot (switched power, on when ignition is on).
• Кара зым (жерге туташтыруу): Connects to a metal ground point on the vehicle chassis.
