Congratulations on purchasing a RearView Backup
Camera System!
With this manual you will be able to properly install and
operate the unit.
The Backup Camera System is intended to be installed as a
supplement aid to your standard rear view mirror that already exists
in your vehicle. The Backup Camera System should not be used as a
substitute for the standard rear view mirror or for any other mirror
that exists in your vehicle.
In some jurisdictions, it is unlawful for a person to drive a
motor vehicle equipped with aTV viewer or screen located forward of
the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that is visible, directly
or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle.

Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on the other side
of the wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reduce the possibility
of them being damaged while vehicle is in use. Keep all cables away
from hot/moving parts and electrical noisy components.
We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation
to insure that all components are working properly.
Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations.
Step 2: Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.8 (20mm)
hole should be drilled for passing camera cable through vehicles
walls. Install split grommets where applicable.
Step 3: Once all cables and wiring have been properly routed, perform
a system function test by temporarily connecting the system.
