NOTE!

Please read all of the installation instructions
carefully before installing the product. Improper

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.

Rear View Safety

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 routed, perform
a system function test by temporarily connecting the system. If the
system seems to not be operating properly see troubleshooting (page

29).

Wiring

After connecting the monitor to the power harness, plug the camera
into the CAM3 input. Connect the RED 12V power wire to an ignition
power source and the BLACK 12V ground wire to a chassis ground. The
BROWN wire is the REVERSE trigger wire. Connect this wire to the ve­hicle’s backup light circuit to activate the rear view image whenever
the vehicle shifts into reverse. To connect a second camera, connect it
to the CAM1 input. It can be turned on by pressing the power button
on the monitor.

Rear View Safety

Precautions For Use Of Monitor

I. The Monitor is made of glass and plastic. Do not subject it to
a mechanical shock by dropping it from a high place, etc.
II. Do not apply excessive force to the monitor surface or the
adjoining areas since this may cause the color tone to vary.
III. Clean with a soft dry cloth and/or Windex only.
IV. Do not attempt to disassemble the mirror monitor.

Safety

• Before drilling make sure no cable or wire is on the other side.

• Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle & clamp securely.
This reduces the possibility of cable being hooked or snagged.
