Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Locate Power Socket: Identify an available 12V (cigarette lighter) or 24V power socket in your vehicle.
- Connect Dash Cam: Plug the small end of the power cable into the power input port on your Nextbase Series 2 Dash Cam.
- Insert into Vehicle Socket: Firmly insert the larger adapter end of the power cable into your vehicle's 12V or 24V power socket.
- Route Cable Discreetly: Utilize the 4-meter length to route the cable neatly. A common method is to tuck it along the edge of the windshield, down the A-pillar, and under the dashboard trim to the power socket. Use cable clips if necessary (not included).
- Confirm Power: Once connected, your dash cam should power on automatically (or prompt you to turn it on), indicating a successful power connection.
Compatibility
This power cable is specifically designed for and fully compatible with Nextbase Series 2 Dash Cams. It draws power from standard 12V car sockets and 24V truck sockets. It is not compatible with other dash cam brands or Nextbase dash cam series that are not Series 2.
Care
- Avoid Kinks and Bends: Do not sharply bend or kink the cable, especially near the connectors, as this can damage internal wires.
- Keep Dry: Ensure the cable and connectors remain dry. Avoid exposure to water or excessive moisture.
- Clean Connectors: Periodically inspect and gently clean the metal contacts on both ends of the cable to ensure good conductivity. Use a dry, soft cloth if needed.
- Store Properly: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a cool, dry place to prevent tangling or damage.
