•This appliance may only be repaired by qualified personnel.
Inadequate repairs may cause serious hazards.
•People (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental
capacities prevent them from using this device safely may not be
allowed to operate it without the supervision of a responsible adult.
•Electrical devices are not toys
Always keep and use the device out of the reach of children.
•Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
device.
ANOTICE!
•Before start-up, check that the voltage specification on the type plate
is the same as that of the power supply.
•To prevent the risk of short circuits, always disconnect the negative
terminal of the vehicle's electrical system before working on it.
If the vehicle has an additional battery, its negative terminal should
also be disconnected.
Therefore, please observe the following instructions:
•When working on the following cables, only use insulated cable terminals, plugs
and flat sockets:
– 30 (direct supply from positive battery terminal)
– 15 (connected positive terminal, behind the battery)
– 31 (return cable from the battery, earth)
– L (indicator lights, left)
– R (indicator lights, right)
Do not use porcelain wire connectors.
•Use a crimping tool to connect the cables.
•Screw the cable when connecting cable 31 (earth)
– using a cable terminal and serrated washer to one of the vehicle's earth bolts
or
– screw the cable to the bodywork using a cable terminal and a self-tapping
screw
Make sure there is a good earth connection.

If you disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, all data stored in the volatile
memories will be lost.
•The following data must be reset, depending on the vehicle equipment options:
–Radiocode
– Vehicle clock
–Timer
– On-board computer
– Seat position
You can find instructions for making these settings in the operating manual.
2.2 Installation notes
!CAUTION!
•Secure the parts installed in the vehicle to prevent them from
becoming loose under any circumstances (sudden braking,
accidents) and causing injuries to vehicle occupants.
•Secure any parts of the system concealed by the bodywork in such a
manner that they cannot be come loose or damage other parts or
cables, or impair vehicle functions (steering, pedals, etc).
•Always follow the safety instructions issued by the vehicle
manufacturer.
Some work (e.g. on retention systems such as the AIRBAG etc.) may
only be performed by qualified specialists.
ANOTICE!
•To prevent damage when drilling, make sure there is sufficient space
on the other side for the drill head to emerge.
•Deburr all drill holes and treat them with a rust-protection agent.
Observe the following instructions when working with electrical parts:
ANOTICE!
•Only use a diode test lamp or voltmeter to test voltages in electric
cables.
Test lamps with a bulb consume too much voltage, which can damage
the vehicle's electronic system.
•When making electrical connections, ensure that:
– they are not kinked or twisted
– they do not rub on edges
– they are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection.
•Insulate all connections.

7 Connecting the video recorder
➤Connect the GPS antenna to the “GPS” connection (fig. 21, page 3).
➤Connect the 12 V/24 Vgconnection cable to the “Power In” connection
(fig. 22, page 3).
➤Connect the 12 V/24 Vgconnection cable as follows:
– yellow cable to the battery
– blue cable to the positive terminal (terminal 15)
– black wire to earth
If there is no optical contact between the internal infrared receiver on the video
recorder and the remote control, you will need to connect the external infrared
receiver:
➤Connect the infrared receiver to the “IR” connection (fig. 23, page 3).
➤If you are using the alarm function, you must connect the alarm cable to the
“Alarm In” connection (fig. 24, page 3) and to the signal generators.
If the camera connected features a mirror function, use the yellow cable of the
camera adapter cable for this. Depending on the camera model, the yellow cable
must be connected to earth or be left unconnected for the mirror function to be
activated, or deactivated.
If the yellow cable is left unconnected, insulate the end of the cable with insulating
tape or a shrink sleeve to prevent malfunctions.
➤Use the adapter cable to connect the cameras to the “CAM1” to “CAM4” inputs
(fig. 2, page 3).
If your monitor does not feature RCA output sockets for the video and audio signal,
you will require an adapter.
➤Connect the audio/video cable to the A/V output “A/V Out” (fig. 29, page 3)
and to the monitor.
➤Connect the microphone to the “MIC” connection (fig. 210, page 3).
