temperatures.)

· Before drilling any mounting holes always check behind

where you want to drill the holes. Do not drill into the gas

line, brake line, electrical wiring or other important parts.

· If this unit is installed in the passenger compartment, anchor

it securely so it does not break free while the car is moving,

and cause injury or an accident.

· If this unit is installed under a front seat, make sure it does not

obstruct seat movement. Route all leads and cords carefully

around the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught or

pinched in the mechanism and cause a short circuit.

Care and maintenance

· When the product gets dirty, wipe dry with a silicon cloth or

soft cloth. If it is seriously stained, remove stain with a cloth

moistened with a neutral cleaner and then wipe the cleaner

away. Do not use a hard cloth and/or a volatile substance

such as lacquer thinner or alcohol, scratches, deformation,

degradation and/or damage may result.

· When a lens component gets dirty, wipe gently with a soft

clock moistened with water. Do not rub with a dry cloth to

prevent scratching the lens.

Installation Procedure

1 To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the

ignition and disconnect the

- battery.

2 Make the proper input and output wire connections

for each unit.

3 Connect the wiring harness wires in the following

order: ground, ignition, reverse and camera unit.

4 Connect the wiring harness connector to the power

supply box unit.

5 Install the unit in your car.

6 Reconnect the

- battery.

2WARNING

· If you connect the ignition wire (Red) to the car chassis

(Ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may

start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source

running through the fuse box.

· Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (Red). The

power supply must be connected to the wires via the fuse.

2CAUTION

· If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect

the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on

and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire

to a power source with a constant voltage supply, as with

battery wires, the battery may die.

· If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren't touching to

cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with

the same rating.

2WARNING

To prevent injury or fire, take the following

precautions:

· To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic

objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the unit.

· Installation and wiring of this product require specialist

skill and experience. To assure your safety, please request a

specialist technician to install the unit.

2CAUTION

To prevent damage to the product, take the

following precautions:

· Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power

supply.

· When replacing a fuse, only use a new fuse with the

prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating may

cause your unit to malfunction.

· Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If

you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

NOTE

· This product is a rear view camera for checking the view at

the rear of a car.

· A rear view camera is a camera that provides symmetrical

images in the same way as rear and side view mirrors.

· Connection to a TV with an RCA video input is possible,

but confirm whether the TV you use has a reverse gear

connection function.

· This product is designed to supplement the driver's rear

view, but the camera images do not show all dangers and

obstacles. Be sure to look behind you when reversing to

confirm the view.

· This product features a wide-angle lens, so the near view

is wide and the far view is narrow, which may create a false

sense of distance. Be sure to look behind you when reversing

to confirm the view.

· Do not wash your car with an automatic car wash or high-

pressure water as it may result in water entering the camera

or the camera falling off.

· Check camera bracket installation before driving.

Are the screws loose?

- Is the camera bracket firmly secured?

- If the rear view camera comes loose while you are driving it

may cause an accident.

· Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring

temporarily, making sure it is all connected up properly, and

the unit and the system work.

· When mounting this unit, make sure none of the leads are

trapped between this unit and the surrounding metalwork or

fittings.

· Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet, where it would

be affected by heat, or near the doors, where rainwater

might splash onto it. (Never install in locations such as the

Before Use/ Installation Procedure

· Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar

material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps

on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.

· After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,

blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

· Install so that it does not obstruct the rear field of view.

· Install so that it does not protrude from the side of the car.

· Do not perform installation in rain or fog.

· When humidity is high, dry the surface to which the unit is to

be attached before installing.

· Moisture on the attachment surface reduces adhesive

strength, which may lead to the unit coming off.

· Do not attach the camera bracket to areas on the car body

treated with fluorocarbon resin, or glass.

· May result in the rear view camera falling off.

- Do not apply water to the unit.

- Do not expose the unit to rain.

- Do not subject the camera to unnecessary force.

- Thoroughly clean where tape is used for sticking on the

unit.

· Refer to the Instruction's manual for details on connecting

the other units, then make connections correctly.

· Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To

protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where

they lie against metal parts.

· Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving

parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails.

· Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the

heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn,

there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle

body.

· When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the

rating prescribed on the fuse holder.

· To minimize noise locate the TV antenna cable, radio antenna

cable and RCA cable as far away from each other as possible.

· Do not install the power supply box unit in places where it

may become subject to high temperatures or humidity, such

as:

- Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.

- Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the

dashboard or the rear shelf.

- Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to

the door.

· Lay the cords by avoiding high-temperature areas. Use

corrugated tubes for wiring inside the engine room. If a cord

contacts a high-temperature area of the vehicle, the coating

may melt and cause short-circuiting, which may lead to a fire

or electric shock hazard.
