Hardwiring for Main Unit

A Hardwiring Power Cable uses the automotive battery to power your dashcam when the engine is off. A low-voltage power cut-off function and a parking mode timer to protect the automotive battery from discharge are installed in the device. Settings can be changed in the BlackVue App or Viewer.

NOTE:

• The location of the fuse box differs by manufacturer or model. For details, refer to the vehicle owner's manual.

 

B) After removing the fuse panel cover, find a fuse that powers on when the engine is turned on (ex. cigarette lighter socket, audio, etc) and another fuse that remains powered on after the engine is turned off (ex. hazard light, interior light).

Connect the ACC+ cable to a fuse that powers on after the engine start, and the BATT+ cable to a fuse that remains powered on after the engine is turned off.

NOTE:

• To use the battery-saver feature, connect the BATT+ cable to the hazard light fuse. The functions of the fuse differ by manufacturer or model. For details refer to the vehicle owner's manual.
