1. Loosen the mounting thumb wheel on the suction cup mounting base, so the
mounting nut attached to the monitor mounting thumb wheel can slide completely into
the monitor’s base mounting slot (Figure A).
Note: Make sure the nut is aligned correctly to allow the narrow side of the nut to slide
all the way into the small channel of the monitor’s base mounting slot. (Figure B)
2. Tighten the mounting thumb wheel against the monitor. Lock the mounting thumb
wheel in place by tightening the locking thumb wheel.
(Figure C)
3 Position the suction cup mount onto desired flat smooth surface location and secure
into place using the pull lever. Make sure to remove protective packing plastic sheet
from bottom of suction cup.
4. Adjust the monitor to desired viewing position by loosening the upper tilt / swivel and
lower tilt adjustments. Tighten to hold in desired viewing position.
5. Install the antenna onto the monitor.

New Installation - No Factory Pre Wires Present
1) Mounting Location:
• Identify a suitable mounting location near the roof line centered on the rear of the
vehicle 2 or more inches above or below running lights to prevent degrading image and
reducing night vision.
• Make sure there are no wires, glass or other items that will prevent the installation.
Be sure the mounting location will allow for the drilling of a 3/4” hole to run the power
cable to the camera.
• Once a proper mounting location has been identified, use the supplied template on
page 19 of this manual to mark and drill the 3/4” hole. The supplied screws for
attaching the camera to the vehicle are self tapping but it may be necessary to use
the template to mark and drill pilot holes.
2) Power Source Connection:
Option 1 - Ignition Power
• Locate a 12V+ source that is controlled by the vehicle ignition switch. This power source
will provide power to the camera whenever the vehicle is running.
Option 2 - Back Up Only
• Connect the power lead to the right or left back-up light usually located in the
tail light assembly.
3) Wiring to Camera:
• Once a power source has been identified, route the power harness from the power
source to the 3/4” hole drilled for the camera.
Note: If additional wire length is needed, be sure to use 18 gauge wire and connect
the extension length to the end of the power harness - do not cut off the connector.
Be sure to keep 12V+ and 12V- in proper order. Make sure connections are secure
and protected to prevent electrical shorts.
