before you begin
installation

Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on the other side of the wall.

Please clamp all wires securely to reduce the possibility of them being damaged

while vehicle is in use. Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and electrical

noisy components.

We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation to insure that all

components are working properly.

Step 1 Choose the monitor and camera locations.

Step 2 Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.8 (20mm) hole should be drilled

for passing camera cable through vehicles walls. Install split grommets where applicable

Step 3 Once all cables and wiring have been properly placed routed, perform a system

function test by temporarily connecting the system. If the system seems to not be operating

properly see troubleshooting
