To protect the driving safety of yourself and other road users, and to avoid breaking the traffic
law in your respective country; please DO NOT operate the interface while driving. USB Video
Playback is only to be used whilst stationary and NOT whilst driving a vehicle.
The reversing surveillance function is used in reversing assistance only. Please check the entire
surroundings while reversing.
All steps of installation should be done by a well-trained specialist and professional.
During installation, the ignition key should be turned off. After installation is completed, connect
the power cable last.
Please DO NOT plug or pull the connected cables when the power is on, this is to avoid
damaging the monitor or accessory.
Install wiring in a way that cables will not encounter metal parts. The wiring may be damaged by
contact with metal parts, resulting in fire and shocks. Avoid all contact with hot surfaces when
wiring the main unit. High temperatures may damage wiring, causing shorts and fires.
Please DO NOT put the product in a damp environment or directly in water, to avoid electric
shock, damage and fire accident caused by a short circuit.
Kindly check all components are in the box when receiving the product. If anything is missing,
inform the supplier/manufacturer.
Start the engine before loading, and check the interface to see if the function display, key
control and screen is correct. If this is not up to standard, please give feedback to the supplier/
manufacturer.
Please keep the disassembled automotive components neat during the installation process, to
avoid scratching the instrument panel. Any leftover connecting cables should not be left in the
car. The connecting plug must be insulated to short circuit.
Make sure the cables are connected properly and neatly, as the vehicle installation space
confined, so reduce space usage as much as possible. You should plan how you are going to
connect the wires before installing, to avoid affecting the active component as this controls the
steering wheel movement, throttle and brake pedal. Make sure the cables are fastened correctly.
