Installation

These instructions do not apply to all vehicles. They are only meant as a general guide due to the number of different makes & models.

For vehicle specific questions contact your vehicle’s manufacturer.

MONITOR INSTALLATION

When choosing a location to mount the monitor, make sure the monitor is in an area that will not obstruct your vision while driving.

Choose a Location and Install Power Cable

1. Temporarily place the monitor in the location that you have chosen.

2. Route the power cable to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket/12V power outlet. The cable must not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.

Mounting the Monitor

Before mounting the monitor, clean the mounting surface well.

1. Position the suction mount to the smooth surface which suits your requirement.

2. Press the suction cap against the smooth surface such as windshield or dashboard.

3. Press the lock down to attach and fix the mount to the surface.

4. Snap in the monitor to the suction mount.

5. Adjust the mounting arms to suit your view angle to the monitor and tighten the screws on the mount to fix the position.

CAMERA INSTALLATION

You can mount the camera using the top or bottom mounting bolts or screws of license plate. Ensure the camera viewing is not obstructed. The supplied wedge shaped spacers can adjust the camera mounting angle vertically.

1. Loosen the license plate bolts or screws and remove the rear license plate.

2. Insert each license plate bolt into a supplied wedge shaped spacer, through the bolt holes of the camera, and through the remaining wedge shaped spacer and the license plate.

To maximize the effectiveness of the suction mount, it is recommended that the application be performed under the following conditions:

Surface temperature should be between 70°F and 100°F (21°C and 38°C).

Application below 50°F (10°C) should be avoided.

Application should not occur in direct sunlight.

Mounting should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a period of 24 hours.

NOTE: UNDER EXTREME BRIGHT LIGHT CONDITIONS, THE SCREEN IMAGE MAY TAKE A

FEW SECONDS TO STABILIZE. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE IMAGE HAS STABILIZED

BEFORE BACKING UP.

MONITOR POWER CONNECTION

Use the 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor plugged into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

Power Cable with 12 Volt Cigarette Lighter Adaptor

1. Insert the small 12 Volt DC plug of the power cable into the right side of the monitor.

2. Plug the 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket.

3. The monitor’s factory default setting is with the power ON or STANDBY mode. You may switch between power ON (STANDBY) or OFF by pressing the power button.

3. Align the holes on vehicle and temporarily tighten the license plate bolts/screws. The wedge shaped spacers will make the camera face downward.

4. Choose a routing path for the camera’s power cable through the vehicle’s body to the reverse light circuit. If in doubt, seek professional installation assistance.

5. Some vehicles may have a hole to pass the wire through. For example, the location where the license plate light is mounted, or you can drill a hole close to the power cable that will attach to the camera. Once you have determined where the cable will enter the vehicle’s trunk, remove the camera. If you are able to use an existing opening or hole, skip the next two steps.

6. If you are going to drill a hole, choose a location as close to the camera where the power cable comes out. Before you drill a hole you MUST CHECK WHAT IS BEHIND THE

DRILLING LOCATION. If there are any vehicle components, like electrical parts or fuel system components behind the drilling location, you must take precaution not to damage them. Remove the license plate and camera before drilling.

7. After you have drilled a half inch (1/2") hole, pass the camera wire connector through the hole into the vehicle and place the grommet in the hole around the camera wire. You must use the grommet to prevent the metal edge of the hole from cutting the camera cable.

8. Mount the transmitter box inside the trunk. Connect the camera cable and the power cable to the transmitter box.

9. Find the vehicle’s reverse lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to the accessory position, engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. Look at the vehicle’s tail lights to see where the reverse white lights are located.

To locate the reverse light’s 12V+ wire, it is necessary to access to the rear part of the vehicle’s tail light.

4

For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light circuit, contact your vehicle’s manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.

10. Once you have located the reverse light circuit, you need to route the power cable supplied to that location. Fasten the power cable securely to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle component like the trunk hinge.

Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle.

11. Locate reverse light socket and remove light bulb. There are two wires connected to the reverse light sockets on most vehicles. Usually the negative wire is black and the positive wire is a colored wire. If you are uncertain about the wiring, use a 12 volt multimeter

(available at most auto parts stores) to determine which wire is positive. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe use of the multimeter.

MONITOR CONTROLS

12. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the ignition key, then remove the battery’s negative cable.

13. Splice the red wire using the supplied wire clamp to the reverse light’s positive (+) wire. Use a set of slip joint pliers to squeeze the METAL BLADE and ensure good connection of both wires.

Insert the existing wire Insert the wire to be Crimp clamp with pliers, to be tapped to the clamp. attached to the clamp. then close lock.

Wire clamp after locking

14. You may not need to use the wire clamp. The power cable can be wired directly to the reverse light circuit by stripping the reverse light wires then twisting the camera wires to the exposed reverse light wires. Once connected, wrap with electrical tape. Do not attempt this if you are not knowledgeable with electrical installation practices. If in doubt, seek professional installation assistance.

15. Next splice the black wire of the camera’s power cable to the reverse light’s negative (-) wire or ground.

16. Replace the reverse light bulb and re-install the light socket. Secure all the wires with cable ties or electrical tape. Reattach the negative battery cable to the battery afterwards.

5

Make sure the monitor is powered ON (STANDBY), then the monitor will automatically show the camera’s image when the vehicle is in reverse gear. Also, there are 4 control buttons available for user to have their controls.
