6.1 PREPARATION
1. Park your vehicle on a flat level surface.

6.2 HARDWARE
1. Attach the VT2500 to the windscreen using the provided double sided 3M pad.
The surface must be clean and dry before you install the camera. We recommend you install the
product behind the rear view mirror on the front windshield. The 3M adhesive pad will not stick
well with dust or oil, etc. Please make sure the surface is clean before applying
2. Adjust the camera view and make sure the lens has an unobstructed view. Check the camera
angle from the outside of the vehicle. You can adjust the angle via the camera's bracket.
3. Arrange the power cord neatly alongside the windshield and door pillar trim.
6.3 WIRING
1. The VT2500 requires a continuous 12/24volt power source from the vehicle.
The cable supplied will allow you to hard wire the VT2500 unit to the fuse box of your vehicle.
2. Connect the “red cable (+)” to a fuse.
It should be connected to a fuse that has power only when you start the engine.
3. The ground cable should be contacted at the vehicle body or battery negative.
4. Start the vehicle after installation.
5. You must keep the vehicle powered on for at least 10 minutes following initial power-up of the
camera. Not doing so may result in damage to the camera and it not working correctly.
DO NOT TURN OFF THE VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME
6.4 G-SENSOR CALIBRATION
The G-Sessor will require calibration after installing the VT2500
1. Turn on the vehicle and press the red panic button for three seconds.
