Step 8: Main Unit Calibration and Use
After adjusting your viewing angle, tap in the Moto Snap
app to enter [Camera Settings]. On first use, be sure to calibrate
the “Tilt Sensor” and “Format” the microSD card.
Calibrate the Tilt Sensor
Hold your motorcycle upright, straight, and as still as possible,
then tap on “Tilt Sensor” in the menu so the Moto Snap can
calibrate the internal tilt sensor. After calibration is completed,
if the camera detects that the motorcycle is toppled over, it will
trigger emergency recording automatically. This is indicated by
the blue LED going from a slow flash to a rapid flash.
Emergency recordings are stored in the emergency video folder.
Format microSD card
Tap “Format” in the menu to format microSD card. It is
recommended to format your card at least once a month to
ensure that it is working properly.
Note：
1. When the Moto Snap is inserted into Snap Mount (or used with the
optional carry-on Power Key), it will automatically power on and start
recording, indicated by a slow-flashing blue LED indicator light. The
recording file will be saved onto the microSD card. When the card reaches
capacity, the loop recording function will overwrite the oldest file to make
room for new files and continue recording.
2. Memory cards have a service life. Long-term use may lead to write
speed degradation and file save failures. If this happens, it is
recommended that you purchase a new memory card.
