Introduction
TB-100 Software Installation and Conguration Guide

Introduction
The TB-100 Bluetooth Transmitter is a device that can be added to new and existing Flashback systems (including
Flashback2s, Flashback3s, and FlashbackHDs) to enable bi-directional Bluetooth transmission between Flashback
system(s) and BWX-100 body worn camera(s) (BWCs). This enables your recording devices to remotely initiate recordings
on other devices that are within transmission range. It also enables other recording devices to remotely initiate recordings
on your devices*.

Installing a TB-100 in a Vehicle with a Flashback Recorder
1. Check your Flashback wiring harness for the gray Aux 2 wire. If your wiring harness includes the gray Aux 2 wire, then
proceed to the next step. If your wiring harness does not include the gray Aux 2 wire and your Aux 1 wire is already
connected to another device, then you’ll need to order an FB3/FBHD Wiring Harness (W-FB-IO-C Axx), which includes the
Aux 2 wire. For assistance, contact SF Mobile-Vision Inc. Sales at 1-800-336-8475.
2. Disconnect the vehicle battery's negative lead.
3. Mount the transmitter box.
a. Select a location that is:
• On a at surface in the trunk or cabin.
• Within 4 feet of the proposed antenna location and within 10 feet of the Flashback DVR
• Away from possible spills.
b. Mount the transmitter box (Item #1 on page 3) to the surface using the self-tapping screws provided.
4. Mount the antenna.
NOTE: Antenna Mounting Location
Because the TB-100 utilizes a “line of sight” signal, it’s important to mount the antenna as high as you can so the signal
can easily pass through the vehicle’s glass.
a. Select a location that is within 4 feet of the TB-100:
• If TB-100 is mounted in the trunk, then mount the antenna on the rear deck or C pillar.
• If TB-100 is mounted in the center console, then mount the antenna on the cage or A pillar.
• If TB-100 is mounted in the rear of an SUV, then mount the antenna on the cage or C pillar.
b. Mount the antenna (item #2 on page 3) using the provided bracket hardware (item #4 page 3).
5. Connect the antenna cable (item # 3 on page 3) to the antenna (item #2).
6. Connect the other end of the antenna cable (item # 3) to the TB-100.
7. Plug the Signal & Power cable (item #7 on page 3) into the POWER/SIGNAL port on the back of the TB-100.
8. Connect the wires, as shown in the following diagram. For a list of connections, see "Connections for Installing a TB-
100 in a Vehicle with a Flashback Recorder" on page 6.

2. Review step 3 of the Conguring Audio, Video, Trigger, and Display Settings subsection of the Conguring a Flashback
DVR Group section.
3. Ensure that either Aux 1 Trigger or Aux 2 Trigger is selected.
If Fleet Management is Enabled and Your DVR is Not Assigned to a DVR Group
1. Complete steps 1-3 in the Conguring Flashback DVRs section in the DES Administrator’s Guide.
