Because the WBU-800 is truly wireless and does not tap into
your vehicle's transmission or backup light, you must tell the
unit when you are backing up. This also allows you to use your
back up camera to view behind the vehicle at any time.
When power is applied to the monitor an image will be
present for 60 sec by default or the user selected time, if the
screen goes blank and more time is required press the
for an image to return to the monitor.

GETTING STARTED
The WBU-800 is equipped with a built-in rechargeable lithium
battery and is connected with two solar panels that trickle
charge the built-in lithium battery when sunlight is available.
This will minimize or eliminate the need to manually charge
the unit during the year.
A USB charging port is provided to initially charge the battery
prior to mounting on your vehicle as well as to recharge if
needed. Your rechargeable battery when fully charged will
last for several months of average use with NO SUNLIGHT
(average use is defined as 4~6 times per day). With the
addition of sunlight, the solar cells will charge your battery
thereby extending the cameras ability to provide usage day
after day and month after month without requiring you to
recharge it manually.
Remove camera assembly from box and make sure all
components are included.
