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.

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 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 System 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 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).

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 possibility 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.

Monitor

1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the headliner 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 figure 1.1 on page 11)

Infrared technology built into camera IRs are activated automatically according to the lighting conditions.
When using the postive trigger functions (blue, yellow & white wires) each trigger function needs to work on a seperate 12V+ source i.e. the Yellow and White wires can be wired to a turn signal circuit etc.
*Grid lines function can be turned on/off by manually from menu. (See page 13)

Note: If connecting power directly to battery, the camera is always ON and therefore can drain battery. Therefore it is recommended to connect power to an ignition  switched accessory power source.
