Instructions for our MON293GL
Clip-over mirror monitors
This booklet contains informaon about our mirror monitor and its menu
system, explaining what the various opons inside actually do (as the menu
system is quite a bit more versale than most of the basic mirror monitors
menus).
Please be aware that some of the menu systems are subject to change (if
you noce anything that diers then please let us know so we can keep
these instrucons up to date).
Please keep this guide handy in case you ever nd someone has been play-
ing with your monitor and changed all the sengs.

Wiring Harness Layout
We oen get calls from people who have connected the green trigger wire to an
ignion source because they want it to come on all the me, this then locks out the
buons and keeps it on channel 2. If you wish to have it on all the me then please
do not aach the green wire to anything, the monitor will remember the last power
state when the monitor gets power so no trigger is needed in this case.

Choosing a power supply and earthing
We recommend that you use a switched with ignion power supply (either
12V or 24V it will automacally work on either). We advise against going
directly to the vehicle baery, or on a permanent supply as you will dis-
charge your baery even when the monitor is powered down as well as the
equipment being at risk due to the voltage uctuaons experienced when
the alternator kicks on/o. We recommend earthing direct to chassis at a
point with a bare metal surface.
Connecng the monitor to wiring harness
Please be careful when inserng the
connecon from the monitor to the
wiring harness. There is a groove and a
ridge on the 8mm connector to help
line the pins up in to the correct posi-
on (see photo).
Buon Layout
The mirror monitor has touch sensive buons as opposed to physical push
in buons. We nd these really responsive and easy to use. We have in-
cluded a quick guide below to what each of
the buons do.
Up Arrow = Up
Down Arrow = Down
M = Menu/Enter
V1/V2 = Change Channel
= Power On/O

How to use the Menu System
The menu system is easy to nav-
igate through using the top
three buons on the monitor.
To enter the menu system press
the M buon. You will now see
the opons as shown in the im-
age to the right.
Press the - or down buon to
move down unl your selecon
is over the required funcon
you wish to modify. To enter the
sub menu/funcon press M
buon (this works as an enter
buon as well as the menu buon). Pressing + or up arrow will move the
selecon up at any me.
Picture Sub Menu
Scroll to the required opon and press M buon to enter/modify required
opon.
Brightness : Adjust the brightness of the picture
Contrast : Adjust the contrast of the picture
Colour : Adjust the colour of the picture
Reset : Resets values to default
Return : Returns to main menu
Exit : Exits menu completely
Volume Funcon
This secon can be ignored as the monitor doesn’t have a built in speaker.

Language Sub Menu
Select from the following opons, these are in order should someone have
changed for you already.
English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Return, Ex-
it.
Mirroring Sub Menu
This funcon will only be used by a few people with a specic need, 99% of
our customers can ignore it.
If for example you have a camera you wish to cancel mirror image on to
use as a normal view camera looking to the side then you can use this
menu to do so.
1. Exit the menu system and select the camera you wish to modify us-
ing CAM buon.
2. Enter the main menu, arrow down to mirroring and press menu to
enter.
3. Select the channel number of the camera you wish to modify.
4. As default the opon is set to o, change this to the opon you re-
quire. The opons are : OFF, V = Vercal ip will turn the picture
upside down, HV = Horizontal and Vercal ip will turn the picture
upside down and mirror that image with the horizontal rotaon, H =
Horizontal ip this will mirror the image.
5. In our example we would have changed our camera to H, as this will
mirror the picture (almost all of our cameras are mirror imaged as
standard so mirroring this mirror image will turn it back in to a nor-
mal view image).
Video Sub Menu
As standard we recommend that you use Auto, which will auto detect the
video type of the camera. The opons are PAL/NTSC/AUTO. Selecng the
wrong type would mean you get a black and white picture or no picture.

Park Setup (Guidelines)
The monitor can add guidelines to the picture when the trigger wire has
power (ie when reverse is selected). If you wish to have guidelines shown
then before connuing ensure your camera is plugged in to Channel 2 / V2
and the green trigger wire is connected to the reverse light feed. The moni-
tor should now trigger on and o every me you go in to and out of re-
verse.
Enter this menu and set LINE 2 to ON.
Now enter Line 2 Setup.
The rst adjustment will allow you to move the batch of guidelines along
the vercal axis, the image below shows the max adjustment up and down
of the guidelines.
Tip: We nd holding the up or down buon will move it quicker than
pressing individually lots of mes.
When you are happy with the adjustment press M buon to take you to the
next screen to adjust the width of the guideline box ie the Horizontal ad-
justment. See the picture below for min/max horizontal adjustment.

To adjust the values of the numbers assigned to the lines, go back to the
main park setup menu and enter the line number menu. To modify values
use the up and down keys to change the number to the required value and
the Menu buon to go to the next number to adjust.
Opon Sub Menu
Allows you to select picture mode and aspect rao (16:9/4:3), this is usually
le alone and picture mode can be changed when not in menu by pressing
the mode buon.
Imperial Funcon
Pressing this will allow you to use either M for metres or F for feet. This on-
ly really applies if you are using guidelines on the monitor.
Interval Cong Sub Menu
This monitor can be setup to switch between two cameras automacally on
a pre-assigned number of seconds per camera. This menu system will allow
you to do so. Enter the menu and you will have CAM1 and CAM2 listed.
You can change either channel from 1 to 30 seconds. So if you wanted
CAM1 on for 30 seconds then just a quick view of CAM2 for 3 seconds you
would set CAM1 to 30 and CAM2 to 3.
To see the interval change in acon, exit the menu system.
Now press the Menu buon for a few seconds unl you see the word
“Interval” pop up in green on the top of the screen, this should now change
channels to the mings set in the interval cong sub menu.
Cam Delay Sub Menu
Changing the me for channel 2 will mean the monitor stays on this channel
for however many seconds you set (1-20) aer the trigger wire no longer
has power. This is useful for people who don’t want the monitor to switch
on/o when making small back and forth parking manoeuvres or where
channel 2 is a side camera and the trigger wire is aached to the indicator
light and would require a me delay to ensure the picture doesn’t ash on
and o with the indicator light.

Fing the monitor over the
mirror
The monitor is designed to clip over
your exisng interior mirror, on the
rear it has two spring loaded clips and
two xed upper clips.
First you must pull down the two lower
clips, you will feel the springs trying to
pull the clips up and as you do this.
Place the monitor over the exisng
mirror by resng the upper clips on the top of your interior mirror and plac-
ing the lower clips underneath.
Next release the lower clips so the springs clamps these on to the underside
of the interior mirror.
Check the monitor is rmly located against the mirror and make any small
adjustments as necessary.
