Programming Instructions

All specifications are subject to change without notice.

Program the motorhome monitor

Until both the motorhome monitor and the ICX trans­mitter are programmed as a set, the motorhome monitor
will not receive the signal from the ICX transmitter. Follow
the instructions below to program the monitor.
A second 12-volt outlet (in addition to the towed ve­hicle’s) will be necessary.

1. Before programming, first install Even Brake in the
towed vehicle — follow the installation instructions. Even
Brake must be completely installed, with both the ICX
transmitter cord and the power cord plugged in.

Read the installation instructions and the owner’s
manual before installing or operating Even Brake.
Failure to understand how to install or operate Even
Brake could result in property damage, personal in­jury or even death.
