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 for-
ward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that is
visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the ve-
hicle.

Rear View Safety
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 manufacturer’s
warranty.
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 routed,
perform a system function test by temporarily connecting the
system. If the system seems to not be operating properly see
troubleshooting (page 17).

Rear View Safety
Installation Guide
Camera Installation
1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered on vehicle.
2. 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.
3. Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle & clamp securely. This reduces the pos-
sibility of cable being hooked or snagged. The aviation camera cable uses aircraft
grade connectors which means the camera cable can be exposed to all weather elements.
4. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust the angle.
Wiring Camera
5. The power harness on this unit has 4 camera ports (BLUE-BACKUP, YELLOW-LEFT,
BROWN-RIGHT, and BLACK-FRONT.)
6. Each camera should be connected to its corresponding port. All that is needed for
the system to work is to connect the POWER (red) to 12V and the GROUND (black).
7. 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.
8. As you may have noticed, there are also 3 multi-colored wires (blue, brown, yellow).
These are trigger wires, and when they are energized (12V) they will turn on their corresponding channel. The Blue wire will also turn on gridlines and sound.
9. The camera system can be wired to be powered “ON” the entire time the vehicle is on.
This is typical in RV and some commercial applications.
