Mounting The Rear Camera On Your Rear Window.
Your Road Patrol Touch duo comes with an adhesive disk {19} so that
you can mount your rear camera on the inside of your rear window.
When mounting your rear camera in a location that has defroster lines
(Fig. 12). We recommend that you peel the provided adhesive disk (Fig.
13) and apply it to the window (Fig. 14). This will better secure the
suction cup even when it is experiencing temperature changes (Fig. 15).
Note: You should wait 30 minutes after setting up the adhesive disk
before installing the rear camera, as the adhesive needs time to set.
Warning: The adhesive disk is meant only for use with the Road Patrol
Touch Duo.
