IN THE BOX
Congratulations on purchasing a Rear View Monitor!
With this manual you will be able to properly install and operate the unit.
The Monitor is intended to be installed as a supplement aid to your standard
rear view mirror that already exists in your vehicle. The Monitor 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 a TV 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.
Please read all of the installation instructions
carefully before installing the product. Improper
installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.

SAFETY INFORMATION
USAGE : The Rear View Camera System is designed to help the driver safely
detect people and/or objects helping to avoid damage or injury. However, you
the driver, must use it properly. Use of this system is not a substitute for safe,
proper or legal driving.
• Never back up while looking at the monitor alone. You should always check
behind and around the vehicle when backing up, in the same way as you would
if the vehicle did not have the Rear View Camera System. If you back up while
looking only at the monitor, you may cause damage or injury. Always back up
slowly.
• The Rear View Camera System is not intended for use during extensive back-
up maneuvers or backing into cross trac or pedestrian walkways.
• Please, always remember, the area displayed by the Rear View Camera System
is limited. It does not display the entire panorama that is behind you.
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY, INCLUDING LOSS OF LIFE. BE SURE TO OBEY ALL
APPLICABLE LOCAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS AS IT
PERTAINS TO THIS PRODUCT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION
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 or 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.
If the system seems to not be operating properly see troubleshooting (page 18).

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Cable
1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera cable uses
aircraft grade connectors which means the camera cable can be exposed to
all weather elements. Do not run the cable over sharp edges, do not kink the
cable and keep away from HOT and rotating parts.
2. Fasten all cables and secure all excess cable.
Monitor
1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the
headliner use self-tapping screws and/or the adhesive pad.
2. Attach monitor to mount, and adjust mounting angle to allow
optimum driver viewing comfort.

The Power Harness
• To power the system connect the power (RED) 12V+ wire to ignition power and
the ground (BLACK) wire to chassis ground.
• These are the only wires needed to power the entire system and all the
cameras. Each camera can be seen at any time by simply pressing the power
button and using the V1/2 button to toggle.
• The three positive trigger wires (WHITE-CH1, BROWN-CH2, BLUE-CH3) each
represent one channel and will turn on their channel when the trigger wire
is energized with 12V.
• "Camera 3" is the designated backup channel. To have the the backup camera
come on when you go into reverse, connect the BLUE wire to reverse
power (or any power source that comes on only in reverse).
• The other channels can similarly be triggered (i.e. side cameras can be
triggered by the turn signals etc.)
• To automatically have camera and monitor turn ON when vehicle activates,
simply twist BLUE positive trigger 12V+ to Red Power line 12V+ and wire to
ignition power.
Note: This setup will disable the menu in channel 3.
To access the menu simply move to channel 1 or 2 and
all the changes will apply to channel 3.
Note: When the blue wire is active it will have
precedence over the other triggers. Therefore, if you
wish to use multiple triggers, do not attach the blue
trigger to constant power.
WIRING CAMERA AND MONITOR

10 ©Rear View Safety
Audio: There is audio on channels 2 and 3. On channel 3 the blue trigger wire
must be energized (12V) to activate the audio. On channel 2 the audio
is always on.
Grid-lines: The grid-lines are also carried through the blue wire. To use the
grid-lines for reversing, connect the blue wire to a reverse power.
There is a built-in voltage regulator for our systems which can handle 12-24
volts. Real consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.
Note: The camera and monitor can always be activated
by manually pushing the power button on monitor. This is
in addition to utilizing the positive triggers..
Note: If connecting power directly to battery, the camera
is always ON and therefore can drain battery.
It is recommended to connect power to an ignition
switched accessory power source.
