• The Backup Camera is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle. However, you, the driver, must use it safely and properly. Use of the Backup Camera is not a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving.
• Never back up while looking only at the screen. You should always check behind and around the vehicle when backing up just as you would if the vehicle did not have the Backup Camera. Always make sure your intended path is clear. If you back up while looking only at the Monitor, you may hit a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, child, pet or other object resulting in injury or death. Always back up slowly.
• Never depend on the Backup Camera entirely when backing up. The image on the screen is different from actual conditions. Objects viewed in the monitor differ from actual distance because a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the monitor will appear visually opposite than when viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors. Use the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to properly judge distances to other objects.
• The Backup Camera “night vision” feature that is high performance brightness with colorful image is an aid to a driver but is limited. Always use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed image may be faint or dark, distorted, or not entirely visible. Always check behind and all around the vehicle visually with mirrors before proceeding.
• The area displayed by the Backup Camera is limited. The Backup Camera does not display objects that are close to or below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or objects out of the Camera’s field of view. The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or road conditions.
• Be sure to check the Camera’s position and mounting angle before each use.
• Make sure the trunk, hatch, or backdoor is completely and securely closed when backing up.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the Backup Camera may change.
• When washing the vehicle with high pressure water, be sure not to spray it around the Backup Camera. Otherwise, water may enter the Camera unit causing water condensation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
• Do not strike the Backup Camera. It is a precision instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunction or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
• This product will only provide images of items that are within the field of view of the Backup Camera. Thus, it is imperative that the Backup Camera should be kept clean and unobstructed, and should be mounted so that its field of view includes the entire area behind your vehicle.
• Adhere to all applicable traffic laws and motor vehicle regulations applicable to the device.
• Consult local laws and regulations for any restrictions on installation or use.
• Never allow children to play with the device. Small parts may be a choking hazard.
• There is a plastic cover over the Backup Camera. Do not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or snow from the cover.
• The Backup Camera has a water resistant construction. Do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation. Backup Camera is waterproof.
• Do not submerge Backup Camera in water, which can cause internal damage to the Camera.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. The Digital Camera can withstand the effects of rain, snow, and inclement weather.
• When strong light directly enters a camera, objects may not be displayed clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the monitor may differ somewhat from those of the actual object.
• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the Camera, the Monitor may not clearly display objects. If water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the Camera lens, rinse with water and wipe with a dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol or thinner to clean the Camera. This will cause discoloration. To clean the Camera, wipe with a clean cloth dampened with mild cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.
• Monitor and Camera will remain connected up to 33 feet without any obstacles or interference.
• ALWAYS engage Parking/Emergency/Hand Brakes of the vehicle when testing the system.

SAFETY AROUND AND BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES
Using a Backup Camera is not enough to completely overcome a vehicle’s blind spot. Many preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or parking lots when drivers do not see children, pets, or others near their vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help you to avoid a back-over accident:

• Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids, toys, and pets before entering the vehicle and starting the engine.
• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are in full view.
• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.
• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising children, especially when children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked cars.
• Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is happening outside your vehicle.
• Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care to avoid hitting or running over a child.
• Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is started.

MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY

CLEANING

• If dirt, rain or snow attaches to the Camera, the Monitor may not clearly display objects. If water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the Camera lens, rinse with water and wipe with a dry cloth.
