IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
• Installation and wiring of this product require spe-
cialist skill and experience. To assure your safety,
please request a specialist technician to install the
unit.
• Do not attempt to heat the surface of the camera
lens or camera lens itself with a lighter and so on
when they have become frozen. This can cause a
malfunction.
• This product is a rear view camera for checking
the view at the rear of a car.
A rear view camera is a camera that provides sym-
metrical images in the same way as rear and side
view mirrors.
• Connection to a TV with an RCA video input is
possible, but confirm whether the TV you use has
a reverse gear connection function.
• This product is designed to supplement the driver’s
rear view, but the camera images do not show all
dangers and obstacles. Be sure to look behind you
when reversing to confirm the view.
• This product features a wide-angle lens, so the
near view is wide and the far view is narrow,
which may create a false sense of distance. Be
sure to look behind you when reversing to confirm
the view.
• Do not wash your car with an automatic car wash
or high-pressure water as it may result in water
entering the camera or the camera falling off.
• Check camera stand installation before driving.
Are the screws loose?
– Is the camera stand firmly secured?
– If the rear view camera comes loose while you
are driving it may cause an accident.

3. Adjust the angle so that the bumper
or rear edge of the car is displayed
at the bottom of the TV screen.

Installation Procedure
Note:
• Before making a final installation of the unit,
temporarily connect the wiring to confirm that
the connections are correct and the system works
properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure
proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts
can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifications
of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’
s way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a
sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• When mounting this unit, make sure none of the
leads are trapped between this unit and the sur-
rounding metalwork or fittings.
• To prevent electric shock, do not install the power
supply unit in places where it might come in con-
tact with liquids.
• Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet,
where it would be affected by heat, or near the
doors, where rainwater might splash onto it. (Never
install in locations such as the above because of
the danger of malfunction due to high tempera-
tures.)
• Before drilling any mounting holes always check
behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not
drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring
or other important parts.
• If this unit is installed in the passenger compartment,
anchor it securely so it does not break free while the
car is moving, and cause injury or an accident.
• If this unit is installed under a front seat, make
sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route
all leads and cords carefully around the sliding
mechanism so they do not get caught or pinched in
the mechanism and cause a short circuit.
• Install the unit near the center of the car.
• Locate in the position you want to install the rear
view camera. Adjust the angle of the rear view
camera, and install so that the camera doesn’t
touch the car.
• When sticking to a glass surface, stick it on in a
position that assures the camera doesn’t touch the
rear window.
• Install so that it does not obstruct the rear field of
view.
• Install so that it does not protrude from the side of
the car.
• Do not perform installation in rain or fog.
• When humidity is high, dry the surface to which
the unit is to be attached before installing. Moisture
on the attachment surface reduces adhesive strength
which may lead to the unit coming off.
• If the temperature of the attachment surface is
low, warm with a hair dryer of other means before
installing to improve adhesive strength.
• Do not attach the camera stand to areas on the car
body treated with fluorocarbon resin, or glass. This
may result in the rear view camera falling off.
• During the 24-hour period after installing:
– Do not apply water to the unit.
– Do not expose the unit to rain.
– Do not subject the camera to unnecessary force.
• Thoroughly clean where tape is used for sticking
on the unit.
1. Clean the surface to which the rear
view camera is to be installed.
(Fig. 2)
Use a cloth or other item to wipe oil, wax,
dust and any other dirt from the installation
surface.
2. Peel off the sheet on the back of the
camera stand and stick it on. (Fig. 3,
Fig. 4, Fig. 5)
Press the camera stand with your fingers to
stick it to the installation surface. Touching
the adhesive surface or sticking the unit
on a second time reduces adhesive power
which may result in the unit coming off.

Connection <ENGLISH>
Note:
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and nega-
tive grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehi-
cle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to discon-
nect the battery cable before beginning installation.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the
other units, then make connections correctly.
• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To
protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where
they lie against metal parts.
• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any mov-
ing parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails.
Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near
the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or
gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting
to the vehicle body.
• Do not shorten any leads.
• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insu-
lation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping
into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be
exceeded, causing over heating.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the
rating prescribed on the fuse holder.
• To minimize noise locate the TV antenna cable, radio
antenna cable and RCA power supply cable as far away
from each other as possible.
• Connection to a TV with an RCA video input is possible,
but confirm whether the TV you use has a reverse gear
connection function.
• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an
ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red
lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled
with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not
done, the vehicle battery may be drained when you are
away from the vehicle for several hours.
