3. Installing the Device
1) Guide the power cable around the windscreen to the car cigarette lighter so as not to
obstruct the driver’s view and fasten it securely. To achieve the optimal shot, attach the
device between the glass and the rear-view mirror.
2) Do not install the device in a position which obstructs the driver’s view or that may distract.
3) Some vehicles do not cut power to the cigarette lighter when the engine is off. In this case,
unplug the cable from the cigarette lighter before exiting the vehicle.
4) When using the device for the first time, the battery may be low. If you cannot switch on the
device due to low power, manually connect the external power cable to charge the battery.
5) Use only a high-quality microSD card of class 10 or higher. For optimal recording use, we re-
commend using cards with a capacity of at least 8GB up to a maximum of 64GB. If this is the
first use of the card, we recommend formatting it first..
Important Notice:
- For proper operation the LAMAX C9 and GPS module, the power cable must be plugged di-
rectly into the micro USB port of the GPS holder (not into the micro USB port on the camera).

it is necessary to press the safety lock at the front of the holder and then carefully pull the
