Introduction
Please read all of the installation instructions
carefully before installing the product. Improper
installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.
Congratulations on purchasing a Rear View Backup Camera
System. With this manual you will be able to properly install
and operate the unit.
The Backup Camera System is intended to be installed as a
supplement aid to your standard rear view mirror that already
exists in your vehicle. The Backup Camera System should not
be used as a substitute for the standard rear view mirror or
for any other mirror that exists in your vehicle.
In some jurisdictions, it is unlawful for a person to drive a
motor vehicle equipped with a TV viewer or screen located
forward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location
that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while
operating the vehicle.

Safety Information
Please read the entire manual and follow the instructions and warnings carefully. Failure to do so can cause serious damage and/or injury, including loss of life. Be sure to obey all applicable local traffic and motor vehicle regulations as it pertains to this product. Improper installation will void

USAGE
The Rear View Camera System
is designed to help the driver safely detect people and/or objects helping to avoid damage or injury. However, you the driver, must use it properly. Use of this system is not a substitute for safe, proper or legal driving.
Never back up while looking
at the monitor alone. You should always check behind and around the vehicle when backing up, in the same way as you would if the vehicle did not have the Rear View
Reverse With Confidence
Camera System. If you back up while looking only at the monitor, you may cause damage or injury. Always back up slowly.
The Rear View Camera Sys-
tem is not intended for use during exstensive back-up maneuvers or backing into cross traffic or pedestrian walkways.
Please, always remember,
the area displayed by the Rear View Camera System is limited. It does not display the entire panorama that is behind you.

Before Beginning Installation
Before Beginning 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 he system. If the system seems to not be operating properly see troubleshooting

REAR VIEW SAFETY
Installation Guide
Camera
1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered
on vehicle.
2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust the angle.
Cable
1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera
cable uses aircraft grade connectors which means the camera cable can be exposed to all weather elements, do not run the cable over sharp edges, do not kink the cable and keep away from HOT and rotating parts.
2. Fasten all cable and secure all excess cable.
Monitor
1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or
to the headliner using self-tapping screws and/or adhesive pad.
2. Attach monitor to mount, and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 on page 12)

Wiring Camera & Monitor
When installing a ONE (1)
camera setup, connect camera extension cable from the rear view camera to port # labeled “backup” (most systems port 3) Connect red 12V+ wire to igni­tion power source and black wire 12V- to chassis ground. Do not use white and yellow wires.
The blue wire is the REVERSE
trigger wire. In typical rear-view installations, connecting this wire to the vehicle’s backup light circuit will activate the rear-view image whenever the vehicle shifts into reverse.
Before drilling, be sure no cable
or wire is on the other side.
Feed as much cable as possible
into vehicle and clamp securely. This reduces the possibility of cable being hooked or snagged.
Camera: Drill a 20mm (0.8in)
diameter hole into vehicle body near the camera and bracket. Insert camera
cable into vehicle (be careful not to kink cable) and fit grommet into hole. Apply sealant around grommet to increase resistance to water penetration. Connect camera to the camera extension cable which runs inside the vehicle.
The camera system can be wired
to be powered “ON” the entire time the vehicle is activated and this is typical in RV and some Commercial applications.
The camera and monitor can
always be activated by manu­ally pushing the power button on monitor this is in addition to utilizing the positive triggers.
Note: If connecting power directly to battery, the camera is always ON and therefor can
drain battery, therefore its
recommended to connect
power to an ignition switched
accessory power source.

REAR VIEW SAFETY
Wiring Camera & Monitor
Audio works on two ports of
multiplexer and positive triggers must be triggered for audio to operate. #3 Port labeled “backup” (blue trigger) #2 port labeled “DVD” (white Trigger).
When installing a TWO (2)
camera setup, use ports #3 and #2 and use positive triggers Blue and White.
To automatically have camera
and monitor turn ON when vehicle activates, simply twist BLUE positive trigger 12V+ to Red Power line 12V+ and wire to ignition power which can be an accessory switch/fuse line and black wire 12V- to chassis ground.
Infrared technology built into
camera IRs are activated auto­matically according to the lighting conditions.
There is a built-in voltage
regulator for our systems which can handle 9
-32 volts real
consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.
When installing all THREE (3)
cameras, use all three ports and connect all positive triggers to appropriate connections.
When using the postive trigger
functions (blue, yellow & white wires) each trigger function needs to work on a seperate 12V+ source i.e. the Yellow and White wires can be wired to a turn signal circuit etc.
Grid lines function can be
turned on/off by pushing MENU 8 times and than select ON/OFF
