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/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.

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 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 cables and secure all excess cable.

Monitor

1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the head-liner
use self-tapping screws and/or the adhesive pad.

2. Attach monitor to mount, and adjust mounting angle to allow opti­mum driver viewing comfort. (see gure 1.1 on page 12)

Rear View Safety

Wiring

After connecting the camera to the “camera cable” the camera should
be plugged into AV2 input. Connect the RED 12V power wire to a an
ignition power source and the BLACK 12V ground wire to a chassis
ground. The GREEN 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 additional camer­as, connect to the corresponding input. Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2

Precautions for use of Mirror Monitor

I. The Mirror Monitor is made of glass. 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, be sure no cable or wire is on the other side.

• Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle & clamp securely.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

This reduces the possibility of cable being hooked or snagged.

Generally, to help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles, there are
three lines for reference- red, yellow, and green. Those three lines are dis­played on the monitor when car is reversing. The green line is 10 feet from
the back of the car and the yellow line is 6.5 feet away. The distant red line
is 3.3 from the backside of car while the closed red line is 1.3 feet from the
car. Both reference lines on the left and right should leave 0.65 feet from
the car.

Accuracy

The accuracy of the grid-lines can vary based on how you angle your cam­era. Therefore to compensate for inaccurancies, you can adjust the grid
lines to your camera angle.
