General Operation
The MCS-700BW back up safety device uses a 7" black and white monitor and a rear mounted
camera (and optional side cameras) to allow a clear view and audio of the area immediately
behind your vehicle. The back up safety device will automatically activate when the ignition key
is turned on and the vehicle is put into reverse.
Note 1: If the screen is dark when the vehicle is in reverse, make sure the monitor’s power button is in the "On" position.
Note 2: If the screen is displaying the wrong image when vehicle is in reverse, make sure the
monitor’s mode selection button is set to the “AUTO” position.
7" Black and White Monitor
All the controls to operate your monitor are located on the front panel. Familiarize yourself
with the monitor’s features so you can adjust settings to suite your personal preference (See
Monitor Basic Features).
Rear View Camera
The rear view camera will automatically activate when the ignition key is turned "On" and the
vehicle is put into reverse. The video image from the camera will appear on the monitor and
the audio from the camera can be heard through the monitor’s speaker.
Note: This system only provides for one way audio, from the camera to the monitor. The monitor is unable to transmit audio to the camera.
