2.0 - WARRANTY CONDITIONS
This product is guaranteed to be free from defects in workmanship for a period of 24 months from the
date of installation reported on this warranty, in compliance with the 1999/44/CE Warranty Directive
(L. D. N° 24 of the 02/02/2002).
Please fill-in entirely the guarantee certificate included in this booklet and DO NOT REMOVE the
guarantee label from the device.
The warranty will become void if labels are missing or torn, if the installation certificate is not fully
compiled or if the enclosed sale document is missing.
The warranty is valid exclusively at authorized Gemini Technologies centers.
The manufacturer declines any responsability for eventual malfunctions of the parking sensors or any
damage to the vehicle electrical system due to improper installation, use or tampering.
The parking system is strictly a parking assist device, it should not be considered to be a safety device
for any purpose.
Detection zones are indicated as “R” (rear).
Detection zones closest to the obstacle are indicated as “RC” and are signaled by the
LED switching ON.
3.2 - REAR SENSORS
The rear sensors are activated when reverse gear is engaged; two acoustic signals with different
tones will indicate the sensors are active.
An obstacle will be signaled by the lighting up of the coloured alert zone (green, yellow, red or LED) in
which it is located and by the warning buzzer.
Fhe tone of the buzzer indicates in which zone the obstacle is detected; the faster the beeping, the
closer the obstacle.
Short press the button on the right of the display to deactivate the system.
Short press the button on the left of the display to deactivate the warning buzzer.
The detection range and the volume of the buzzer can be adjusted (see “Setting of
parameters”) according to the needs of the user and the vehicle on which the system is
installed.
The sound alert will vary according to the detection zone.stage-by-stage
Remember to always look behind the vehicle while parking.
Small obstacles or objects with low reflectance might not be detected.
The parking system is designed only as a parking aid, it should not be considered to
replace care and attentiveness while manoeuvring.
For the overall functionality of the system, check the programming of the sensors.

4.0 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
4.1 - LOW POWER SUPPLY SIGNAL
4.2 - FAULTY SENSORS
If, when the control unit is turned on, the battery level is too low to guarantee the accuracy of the
system, the buzzer will sound to indicate activation but there will be no video display.
This will inform the user thatALL the sensors are deactivated.
The driver will therefore know that he will have to do without the parking sensors.
If, when the reverse gear is engaged, one of the sensors turns out to be inoperative or not connected,
you will hear 4 deep-toned beeps and 1 long high-pitched beep.
The display will indicate the deactivation of the beeping, the number of the inoperative sensor, the
detection zone and the LED will be ON.

!Only by pressing the button for another 3 seconds does the system enter in the programming
mode, signaled by a different beep and one LED flash.
On the top left corner of the screen will appear the number “1”, to indicate that you can enter in the
first parameter settings.
!
If the display is turned OFF and the reverse gear disengaged, it will remain OFF even if
the reverse gear is re-engaged.
Only expert users should modify these settings to avoid malfunctions of the parking
system.
!
To activate the programming procedure proceed as follows:
Engage reverse gear and make sure the display is turned ON.
Press and keep pressed one of the two buttons on the display; the system will emit a series of
audible sounds and the display will show the selected program (FS or CS).
!
!
!Before the system returns to the parameter list, the buzzer will emit an audible sound and the LED
will switch ON for about one second; if necessary, adjust other parameters or disengage reverse
gear to exit the programming mode.
Parameter registration is confirmed by an acoustic signal and a flash.
The first parameter is the buzzer volume adjustment; if the buzzer is deactivated, the
display will show the OFF icon.
