Before Use

With new technology readily available, JVCKENWOOD has developed an easy to use dashboard

camera for everyday use. The device allows its user to record ﬁles in1 minute lengths. These ﬁles are

easy to download to your desktop or laptop. In most instances, the video ﬁles are easily played on

your mobile device. While most cameras traditionally use the entire capacity of the SD card until it is

removed, the device automatically deletes the oldest ﬁle to create space for the new video.

Dashboard camera offers two modes:

1. Video Mode: Video mode will set to default when the device is active.

2. Playback Mode: Users can view all previously recorded videos and photos taken.

FEATURES:

Automatic Start/Stop Technology:

Maintain full focus on the road! The vehicles ignition will let the device turn on while connected to

your vehicles 12 V outlet or cigarette lighter socket. When the vehicle is turned off, the device will

automatically shut down, preserving the device power for those moments you are not connected to

permanent power.

The device lets users adjust camera settings to get the perfect shot. For a great photo every time,

here are a few tips from the designers:

1. Reduce the amount of sky in the picture. By adjusting the device towards the road, the automatic

exposure compensation will be focused on the road and not the light from the sky.

2. Position the device in the center of the dash. If you place the device behind the rearview

mirror, you will avoid all distractions from the road.

3. Remove any objects that will obstruct your shot such as the protective lens cover.

Clear vision will allow you to record everything in one shot.

The screen images and operation examples in this document were created for explaining the

operating procedures.

There may be screen images that differ from the actual screens or examples of operations not

actually performed.

Please note that JVCKENWOOD shall not be responsible for any damages suffered by the customer

or a third party as a result of incorrectly using this product, a failure during use of this product, or

other trouble, or due to the use of this product, unless such liability is acknowledged by law.

Recorded video, image, and audio content cannot be used for other than personal enjoyment

without the consent of the copyright holder as speciﬁed in the Copyright Act.

Please note that the recording of an event such as a show, performance, or exhibition may be

restricted even when doing so for personal enjoyment.

Precautions and notices

Warning! Do not operate the device while driving. Using this product does not change the

requirement for a driver to take full responsibility for his or her behavior. This responsibility includes

observing all trafﬁc rules and regulations in order to avoid accidents, personal injury or property

damage.

For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.

A window mount is needed when using the device in a car. Make sure that you place the device in

an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver's view or deployment of airbags.

Make sure that no object is blocking the camera lens and no reﬂective material is placed near the

lens. Please keep the lens clean.

If the car's windscreen is tinted with a coating, this may impact the recording quality.

Connect the charger to a proper power source. The voltage requirements are found on the product

case and/or packaging.

Do not use the charger if the cord becomes damaged.

Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the unit if it is

damaged or exposed to excess moisture.

Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Disposal of a battery into ﬁre or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that

can result in an explosion.

Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an

explosion or the leakage of ﬂammable liquid or gas.

A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the leakage of

ﬂammable liquid or gas.

Do not ingest battery, Chemical Burn Hazard.

This product contains a button cell battery. If the button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause

severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.

Keep new and used batteries away from children.

If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from

children.

If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek

immediate medical attention.

Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.

Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of

time.

Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device.

Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.

Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This could cause moisture

condensation inside the unit, which could damage your device. In the event of moisture

Precautions for Use

Caring for your device

Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the risk of damage.

Precautions for installation

Precautions for use

Cleaning the device

If you notice a problem with the device

If you notice a problem with the device, ﬁrst refer to “Troubleshooting” (P. 75) and check whether

there is a way to resolve the problem.

If the device does not return to normal after the reset, turn off the power of the device and then

contact your dealer or nearest JVCKENWOOD service center.

Install the device in a position where it will not block the front view of the driver (position where

hidden by the rear-view mirror).

Install the device so that it is within the wiping range of the wiper.

Install the device in a position where it will not interfere with the movement of the rear-view

mirror.

Take care not to install the device over the vehicle inspection sticker or other sticker.

Take care not to install the device where it will interfere with driving or airbag operation.

When installing the device in a vehicle equipped with a driving support system, check the

instruction manual of the vehicle and then select an installation position that will not interfere

with the driving support system.

If the device is installed incorrectly, event recording or parked recording may not work correctly.

Refer to “Installation and Connection” for the loosening of ﬁxing knob, installation orientation,

installation angle, and other information and then install the device correctly.

Do not install the device near a digital terrestrial television antenna or an electrical component.

Doing so may reduce television receiver sensitivity or cause ﬂickering and noise.

When selecting a position for the suction mount, make sure it’s on a glass surface that is smooth

and free of paint.

Before mounting, clean the area with a dry/clean cloth and add a small amount of moisture to the

windshield. This allows a stronger bond to form between the glass and the suction mount.

When ﬁxing the device with the adhesive mount, use a commercially available cleaning cloth or

the like to wipe off all dirt and grease on the mounting surface. If the device is re-afﬁxed or

mounted using, for example, general-purpose double-sided tape, the adhesion strength may

weaken and cause the device to fall.

After mounting the device, leave it for 24 hours before use to enable the mounting strength of the

adhesive mount to improve. Failing to do so may result in the adhesion of the adhesive mount

becoming weak and the device falling.

Fix the cord in place with tape or the like so that it does not interfere with driving.

Do not block the camera lens, get dirt on it, or place a reﬂective object near it.

When LED trafﬁc lights are recorded, video in which they appear to be ﬂickering or ﬂashing may

be recorded. JVCKENWOOD assumes no responsibility with regard to the distinguishing or

recording of trafﬁc lights.

If coating is used on the windshield of the vehicle, recording quality may be affected.

There is no guarantee that the device can record video in all conditions.

When the device is dirty, wipe it with a dry silicone cloth or other soft cloth. If the device is very

dirty, remove the dirt with a cloth with neutral cleaner on it then wipe off the cleaner. Wiping the

device with a hard cloth or using a volatile substance such as thinner or alcohol may cause

scratches, deformation, deterioration or other damage.

When the lens is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with water. Rubbing the lens

strongly with a dry cloth may cause scratches.

•

Do not store or carry ﬂammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the same compartment as

your device, its parts or accessories.

To discourage theft, do not leave the device and accessories in plain view in an unattended vehicle.

Overheating may damage the device.

•

From now on, DRV-A310W will automatically turn on and start recording once

power has been made available from the 12V outlet. Just start the vehicle and

start driving!

If there is no 12V outlet or cigarette lighter for your vehicle, use the included

USB power cable but please notice that your USB power output port should

provide 2A current to make sure the device work properly.

DO NOT wire DRV-A310W directly to the car cigarette outlet or any 12V outlet.

Doing so will result in permanent damage to the camera.

You can purchase our hardwire kit from the KENWOOD ofﬁcial website that will

directly connect to your vehicle’s fuse box. This will allow you to

have your 12V outlet available for other use. Please read carefully and follow

the instructions below to help you operate DRV-A310W safely and refer to the

ofﬁcial website for accessory instructions.

Default PIN: 671514

1. Position ﬁlm location and clean windshield

Before applying, clean windshield location, remove any dust,

oil and use any cloth to give one last polish for best

performance.

2. Remove the protective layer

Before sticking, pull out the actual ﬁlm protector.

Pull out and remove the protective layer on one side.

3. Attach static side ﬁlm to the windshield

Adhere the static side to the windshield, press out and remove

excess bubbles using a squeegee or plastic card.

Make sure to press it fully to adhere on the windshield.

4. Install 3M adhesive mount

Mount 3M adhesive mount within the surface of the ﬁlm and

avoid the area that spans between windshield and ﬁlm.

Left-hand Drive

CAM clearly needs to view through CAM clearly needs to view through

Right-hand Drive

ATTACH THE STATIC SIDE FILM AND MOUNT TO THE WINDSHIELD

Select a location on the windshield where it won’t distract you. We recommend you

place the mount behind the rearview mirror on the passenger side, within the

windshield wiping area.

Left-hand Drive Right-hand Drive

HIDE AND TRIM THE CABLE

Unplug DRV-A310W ﬁrst to hide and trim the car power cable into the roof and

panel. The provided cable clips can help you keep the power cable neat.

After the installation, slide and attach it onto the 3M mount and re-plug the power

cable to DRV-A310W to power on the device.

Do not reuse windshield sticker applicator ﬁlm repeatedly. This will reduce the

adhesion performance and cause the static ﬁlm to fall off.

Note:

When selecting a location for the mount, make sure it’s on a glass surface that is

smooth and free of paint.

Before mounting, clean the area with a dry / clean cloth and add a small amount of

moisture to the windshield. This allows a stronger bond to form between the glass

and the mount.

Remember to place the mount within the area of the vehicle’s windshield wipers.

TIP:

Congrats! Now you are all set!

ADJUST THE ANGLE

Adjust the camera to the angle you want, the lens can be rotated up and down 180

degree. We recommend that the hood of the car should occupy at least 1/5 of the

screen.

REAR CAMERA INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

The Full HD resolution rear camera KCA-R110 is sold separately on the ofﬁcial website.

The KENWOOD dash cam does not support Type-C USB cables with PD (Power

Delivery) fast charging or USB-C to USB-C cables. We recommend using the car

power cable provided by us.

The KENWOOD dash cam requires a 2A current for normal operation, and the

KENWOOD USB car charger provides a 2.6A output current. We recommend using

the USB car charger provided by us.

Please do not use other USB ports in the car to connect the KENWOOD dash cam,

as most car USB ports deliver less than 1A output, while the KENWOOD dash cam

requires a 2A current for normal operation.

Note:

The additional special double-joint bracket allows you to install the rear camera on

a vertical surface, supporting various angles of installation and compatibility with

various car models.

It is recommended to place the rear windshield camera within the windshield

wiping area at the top of the rear windshield to record as clear an image as

possible. Make sure the heating grid lines do not obstruct the view.

Note:

(1) SELECT A LOCATION ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD

Select a location on the rear windshield, attach the adhesive mount, and place the

rear camera in place. The rear camera mount is designed for sloping windows or

vertical / ﬂat windows.

Tighten

Loosen

(3) ROUTE THE REAR CAMERA CABLE

Route the rear camera cable through the vehicle to the rear windshield and tuck

the cable away. The end of the cable should run through from the side of the

headliner at the rear of the vehicle for you to connect and mount the rear camera

to your selected position.

Dash Cam Rear Camera Cable Rear Camera

(2) CONNECT THE REAR CAMERA CABLE

Use the CAM IN port on the side of the front dash cam and plug in the rear camera

cable.

For hatch back trunk opening, leave about 3-5 inches of extra cable at the

vehicle’s end to ensure adequate cable connections, and comfortably open the

trunk without moving the rear camera.

Note:

Check all airbags locations on the vehicle owner’s manual. DO NOT route cable

over the airbags to avoid potential interference with airbag deployment and

posing a problem with proper airbag operation.

For vehicles that have headliner and curtain airbag, the wire should run through

from the bottom of the passenger side carpet trim, along the rear seat side, to

the rear windshield molding, and to the selected position.

(4) CONNECT THE REAR CAMERA CABLE TO THE REAR CAMERA

When all the cable is in place, connect the rear camera cable to the rear camera,

line up cable pins to secure the cable connection. Check the front dash cam to

ensure the rear camera is working correctly.

(5) ADJUST THE REAR CAMERA

Once the mount is set to the rear windshield, ensure the display on the front dash

cam (front and rear views) are level. Press the Screen Select Button when

recording to switch from the rear display to full screen, adjusting the rear camera

accordingly. Ensure the display is in the center, DO NOT attempt to adjust the dash

cam while driving.

WARNING:

ALWAYS pay attention to the road ahead of you. Driving with distractions on the road

may result in penalties, accidents, or even death. PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY.

ALWAYS place the mount in a location that will not obstruct the driver's view of the

road. We recommend you place the mount behind the rearview mirror on the passenger

side, within the windshield wiping area.

DO NOT place the camera in front of the driver’s side.

DO NOT place the mount within the airbag deployment area or near any mirrors.

DO NOT operate the DRV-A310W while driving. Remember, the camera will

automatically record when the vehicle engine has started.

PLEASE place the camera where the power cable is easily concealed and will not

distract the driver. Avoid areas such as the steering wheel, pedals, or gear shifter.

PLEASE remember to clean the area where the mount will be placed.

PLEASE adjust your camera settings before you begin driving.

You can also connect the dash cam to your mobile device and download

KENWOOD DASH CAM MANAGER on App Store / Google Play. Use its Live View

function to adjust the rear camera.

If you still ﬁnd it too much trouble or don't want to do it yourself. It is

recommended to ﬁnd your local reliable Auto Dealer Service Department,

Car stereo Installer, and Auto Mechanic shop to ask about dash cam

installation. Fees may vary from one shop to another. Please ask and check the

reputation of the shop before installing it.

We have designed the rear camera to be waterproof with an IP67 rating (IP67

waterproof rating for the camera part), allowing you to place the camera

outside of the car without fear of heavy rain or snow. This provides you with

clearer video footage. Unlike regular dash cams that can only be placed on the

rear windshield, placing the camera outside of the car directly captures better

quality footage as there are no heat-insulating ﬁlms obstructing the view.

However, installing it outside your car requires professional wiring and

installation. If you want to install it externally, please go to a relevant store and

have a professional install it for you to avoid danger or damage.

computers. Please reboot your computers. Make sure DRV-A310W is

connected properly.

Back up all the ﬁles you need from the memory card. Only AFTER you back

up all the ﬁles you need, format the memory card with DRV-A310W.

The memory card that we recommends for best quality is the UHS type 3

Max Endurance Micro SD Card.

recorded video.

These ﬁles may not be played on your PC if you do not have a suitable

video player installed. Please refer to page 42. Download

TroubleshootingTroubleshooting

If this message appears, simply adjust your browser settings and allow for

the download to proceed. Once complete, reset your browser security to

protect your PC.

When I download ﬁles from

the KENWOOD website a

malicious software message

appears

Reminder: DRV-A310W will not let you access the menu while it is

recording. To access the menu, stop recording and the MENU feature will

be accessible.

The parking mode function will automatically start recording a 30 second

video clip and turn off when external forces are detected. If you want to

turn off this function, go to VIDEO menu -> Parking Mode Sensor, and turn

it off.

When this message appears, your Micro SD card is at full capacity.

Reminder: When you have protected ﬁles, you limit the use of your

memory card. Delete unnecessary ﬁles to allow maximum use of your

memory card.

This indicates that the Micro SD card is not properly formatted to your

DRV-A310W. Please remove the ﬁles you would like to keep on to your PC,

and perform a “Format SD Card” procedure to allow your memory card to

function properly with DRV-A310W.

Be sure the power cord is connected properly. When DRV-A310W is being

charged, the blue LED indicator will illuminate.

DRV-A310W requires formatting the Micro SD card if the card is used on

DRV-A310W for the ﬁrst time. Please format the SD card in the SETUP

menu.

The screen saver function turns off the screen after a period of inactivity. If

you want to turn off this function, go to VIDEO menu -> Screen Saver,

and turn it off.

Be sure the ﬁle you are trying to delete is unprotected.

If the ﬁle is protected, please follow the instruction on page 40 to

unprotect the ﬁle ﬁrst, and then delete the ﬁle.

Try some different card readers and computers to see if any of them can

view the ﬁles. If none of them work, the ﬁles are probably damaged. Use

DRV-A310W to format the memory card. (WARNING: formatting the

memory card will remove all the ﬁles saved), We recommended using the

branded UHS 3 Max Endurance Micro SD Card. Note: You must format the

memory card with DRV-A310W for ﬁrst time use.
