INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing an Air Vue TM Digital Wireless Monitor! With this manual, you can properly install and operate the unit. The wireless monitor is intended to be installed as a supplemental aid to the standard rearview mirror that already exists in your vehicle. The monitor should not be used as a substitute for your vehicle’s standard rear-view mirror or any other mirror. In some jurisdictions, it is unlawful for a person to drive a motor vehicle equipped with a TV viewer or screen in front of the driver’s seat or any location visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle.
Please read all of the installation instructions carefully before installing the product. Improper installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.

3. Never use this device in the environment with excessive moisture, dust or smoke.
4. Avoid dropping or striking.
5. Never use this device in enclosed spaces, areas with excessive vibration or subject to severe impacts.
6. Never puncture, scratch, or use abrasive cleaning materials on this device.
7. Do not place cables where they may be pinched or stepped on.
8. Leave at least a 2″ space between the monitor and walls, glass or other objects to allow adequate air circulation around the device.
9. This monitor is not designed to be waterproof.

Operating Precautions

1. The device may be powered by a 12 or 24 volt automotive battery or vehicle electrical system.
2. Make sure all cables are correctly connected. Observe polarity. Improper cable connections may damage the monitor. Remove the power cable connections when you do not intend to use the device.

1. High voltage is present within the monitor. Opening monitor case should only be performed by professionals.
2. Do not watch any video while driving unless you are monitoring rear view camera display.
Occasionally, a few highlights or dark spots may occur on the LCD screen. That is a very common phenomenon in active matrix display technology, and it doesn’t necessarily indicate any defects or faults.

MAINTENANCE

1. Remove all the cable connections from the monitor before cleaning the device.
2. Use a mild household detergent and clean the unit with a slightly damp, soft cloth.

• Ensure that the RVS letters of the wireless transmitter device are pointing towards the vehicle.

10.1 WIRELESS SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION.

1. The monitor needs to be connected to the same circuit as the wireless transmitter device. This is most likely the Trailer ABS circuit (note: there may be several Trailer ABS circuits). Safely and securely using appropriate and approved methods, connect the red positive voltage power harness wire to this circuit.
2. Safely and securely attach the black power harness wire to a ground point on the vehicle.
3. If applicable, safely and securely attach the reverse trigger wire to the appropriate circuit for the vehicle.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Solutions for Poor Transmitter Signal

1. Please confirm the antennas of the display and on the transmitter are perpendicular to the ground, and the antennas are tightened.
2. If there is metal shielding between the monitor and the camera, an extended antenna should be used to bypass the metal shielding to ensure smooth transmission of antenna signal in space.

connection. Transmitter not installed on same DC circuit as monitor, check installation.
No signal| Antenna disconnected. Transmitter in poor reception area.
No sound| Check whether the sound volume is turned off or set too low. Some cameras do not have audio function.
Black screen| Check camera connection cable to transmitter. Check transmitter power.
Monitor always turns off| In the settings menu: disable ‘Display Only In Reverse’
