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. Use a commercially available cleaning cloth or the like to wipe off all dirt and grease on the mounting surface and then fix the mount base in place. 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 mount bracket to improve. Failing to do so may result in the adhesion of the mount bracket becoming weak and the device falling. Fix the cord in place with tape or the like so that it does not interfere with driving. Precautions for Use 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. ... - Page 15 Applicable condition of license for third party software MIT License Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
