Installation

Installation is as easy as inserting the power adapter
cable into your vehicle’s 12 volt power supply and
clipping the wireless rear view mirror over the
existing rear view mirror.

Step-by-step installation
instructions

1. On the back of the wireless rear view mirror

there are two pairs of clips. Place the bottom
pair of clips on the underside of the car’s original
rear view mirror. Lift the unit so that the bottom
clips extend. This allows the top clips to be fixed
in position on top of the car’s original rear view
mirror, and held securely until the unit is in
place. Adjust the fitted unit to your preference
for clear rear-view vision.

2. Select a suitable position for the microphone.

The front or back of the vehicle sun visor is
usually adequate. The microphone may be
moved by detaching, rotating, and re-attaching
it to the correct side of the visor.

3. Ensure that there is distance between the

microphone and the visor.

Note: For optimal communication, it is highly

recommended that the front side of the
microphone (where there are more holes), be
placed directly facing the operator.

4. Insert the power jack of the power adapter

cable in its respective socket on the wireless rear
view mirror.

The power lead should be secured and hidden
into the vehicle’s interior, using the seals or joins
around the door’s A-Frame, and under the
dashboard. Ensure enough cable is left to
connect to the 12 volt power supply.

Note: Please ensure that the microphone and

power cable do not interfere with safe operation of
your vehicle.

Powering up

Once the unit has been installed, it will power up
automatically when the power source is enabled (by
turning on the car or inserting the adapter into the
vehicles 12 V power socket).
