To install the Cobra SC 400D, mount the camera on your windshield using the suction cup mount. Connect the power cable to the camera and plug it into your vehicle's 12V power outlet. Route the cable along the edge of the windshield for a clean installation.
First, check the power connection to ensure it is secure. Verify that the 12V outlet is functioning by testing it with another device. If the issue persists, try using a different power cable or contact Cobra support for further assistance.
Visit the Cobra official website to download the latest firmware update. Transfer the firmware file to a microSD card and insert it into the camera. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update process.
Regularly clean the camera lens with a microfiber cloth to remove dust and smudges. Ensure the camera is positioned correctly to capture the road ahead, and periodically check for any firmware updates that might enhance video performance.
Ensure the GPS antenna is connected and positioned correctly. Avoid placing it near any metal objects that may interfere with the signal. If problems persist, reset the device and check for firmware updates that address GPS functionality.
