Before installing, read the information below

Please note the acceptable power supply voltage input to the monitor and camera.

Monitor: Voltage range 9V-35V
Camera: Voltage range 9V-24V

Note:

1. If the power supply exceeds 24V it will cause the damage to the camera. We recommend DC 12V to the monitor and camera.
2. If the positive and negative poles are reversed, the camera will be burnt out

Before installation, you must test the device. Please reference the image below.

A. Plug power cords to the monitor and connect the power wires to  camera (red-red, black-black).
B. Loosen the screws on green adapter, then insert the red wire (copper wire) to the Positive(+) slot, and the black wire(copper wire) to the Negative(-) slot.
C. Plug in the cigarette lighter and turn on the red switch. If you see an image on monitor, it means that the display is functioning properly.

Tips:

Test to make sure that your surroundings appear/display on the monitor screen! Once you have confirmed the monitor works, you are ready to install it.

If there is no image after you have installed the unit, check your connections to the power source. PLEASE NOTE: if you reverse the positive wire and negative wire, it will damage the camera so be cautious. If you cannot verify which wire is positive, connect the white wire to “ground” it (attach it to a metal part on vehicle) and then test the positive wire. Grounding it will protect the camera.

Attach waterproof antenna

Identify the thin wire that connects to the camera (see below sample image). This is the waterproof antenna. Since it is waterproof, you can affix the antenna to the inside or outside of the vehicle and it will not be affected by water or rain. We recommend attaching it near the license plate. If your vehicle is quite long, the signal may not be powerfully enough to reach the monitor so you may have to position it closer for better transmission.

Wires connection

Please pay attention to the positive and negative poles of the wire. If the positive and negative poles are reversed, it may surge and cause the monitor to smoke. If the monitor is emitting smoke, please turn off the power immediately and contact customer support.

1. The monitor can be powered by a cigarette lighter.

2. The camera can be powered by one of two methods.
   a) If you plan to use the camera only when backing up, power it by attaching it to the backup/reverse tail-light of your car.
   b) If you plan to use the camera continuously (while driving and reversing), power it by connecting it to the running light/tail-light (the lights that is on continuously while driving).
   If you have questions about this step or the power supplies in your specific car make/model, email us.
   

3. We have also provided an additional power cord that can be connected to the ACC/Fuse/Radio etc. to power the monitor
   

Tips: Red wire to positive pole, black wire to ground.

Note

1. If you supply power to the cigarette lighter, please turn off the power through the red button of the plug when you are not use the system. Failure to do so will cause the monitor to drain the battery on the vehicle.
2. If there is no image after your installing, please check the connections of power source. Or if you reversed the positive wire and negative wire, caused the no image. Please be cautious. If you cannot verify which wire is positive, you can connect the white/Black wire to ground (metal part on vehicle), then to test and connect the red wire to one of the back up light wire, if there is image appear on screen, it means you did correctly.
3. In the light wires of most cars in the US, the red and black wire do not represent the positive and negative poles. Many times the black wire of the car lights is the positive pole, and the green or white wire is the negative pole. please check it before installation. If the wrong wire is connected and there is no image when connected, it means that the positive and negative poles are connected reversely. Need to unplug the power immediately and reconnect correctly. Otherwise it will burn the camera.

Troubleshooting

1. After installation, you turn on the monitor and camera power without images, at the same time, the monitor turns on for five seconds and then goes black, which means something wrong with the camera. You need to check that the camera is plugged in correctly. If the camera’s power cord is not connected correctly to the headlights, there is no images. Or you can touch the camera with your hand, if the camera gets hot, it’s powered on; if the camera surface temperature does not change, it is not connected to the power. Then, you need to reconnect to the power.
2. If you find the image flashing all the time after you install this system. Please try to turn off the engine and keep the key in ACC, if the image does not flicker and the image starts to flicker after starting the engine, you need to add relay or filter to keep signal stable. ( BMW, Benz, VW’s cars will repel foreign devices and emit interfering currents. )
3. If you connect the camera to the headlights and your headlights are LED, it will not work. Because the LED light cannot provide a constant direct current to the camera, you will need to switch to another power source to power the camera.
