Garmin Dash Cam 30 or 35 display continually dimming

Garmin's Dash Cam devices have a setting which will automatically dim the display of the device after a period of inactivity. The device will continue to record video even while the screen is dimmed (indicated by a red light), provided the SD card remains in the device and the device remains powered on.

To enable or disable the Display Timeout setting:

  1. Press the button next to the down arrow to access the menu
  2. Press the button next to the check mark when Settings is highlighted
  3. Press the button next to the down arrow when Display Timeout is highlighted
  4. Press the button next to the check mark
  5. Press the up or down arrow until desired display timeout is highlighted
  6. Press the button next to the check mark

The device's display can be set to time out after 1 minute of inactivity, or the display timeout can be turned off.
