Charging the Camera’s built-in battery

NOTE: * Prior to installation the camera must be fully charged.

1. Connect the supplied DC cord to the charging port of the camera by removing the end plate cover on the camera. Carefully slide up away from the camera plate.
2. Plug the cable USB port into any standard USB charging adapter (Not included) with an output rating more than 1000mA
3. A red light indicator near the camera cover will illuminate while charging. 4. Charge time takes 4 to 5 hours. Once fully charged the indicator light will turn off.

Under normal use, the camera maintains a charge with exposure to sunlight. A battery status indicator is provided on the monitor when the camera is in use. If you’re storing your vehicle in a garage (or not exposing the camera to sunlight on a regular basis) you may need to recharge it via the DC port.

Monitor Installation

1. There are three ways you can mount the monitor, either suction, vent or the adhesive mount.
   With the suction mount the monitor can be mounted to the windscreen or dash and be easily removed. Attach the suction mount to the back of the monitor using the supplied screwdriver and threaded screw. Pay attention to orientation see pictures below. With the suction lever in the released position, press the suction cup against the windshield. Press the suction lever toward the suction cup to lock the mount. To adjust the angle of monitor, loosen the collar on the ball joint, re-tighten in the desired position.

The adhesive mount can be used to permanently fix the monitor to the dash. Attach the adhesive mount to the back of the monitor using the supplied screwdriver and threaded screw. For good adhesion thoroughly clean the dash or windscreen before mounting.
For the vent mount, screw the socket adapter to the back of the monitor with the supplied screwdriver and small screw. Then secure the ball end of vent mount to the socket and tighten the retaining nut. Lift the clamp up and down to secure or release the vent clip on the vent.

2. Connect the monitor power cable to the monitor and plug the socket end into your 12-30V accessory input.

Installing the camera
