engine turned on.)
2. Make sure the camera and monitor are
switched to ON.
3. If you are using a 9V battery to power
the camera, change the battery.
4. Camera and monitor are within range.
Picture Interference 1. Reposition the monitor’s antenna.
2. Mount the camera next to an open win
dow or panel.
3. Drive the vehicle and the trailer for a
short distance. Once away from a
heavy interference area, the picture

Best Result Tips
Minor interference will occur when using open commercial 5.8 GHz
video signal technology. The running engine and motor will generate
some interference and show in the monitor. Overall, 5.8 GHz channels
have much less interference than 2.4 GHz. channels.
The range of the signals is usually stated based on line of sight. This
means the antenna of the camera can see the antenna of the monitor.
The wireless signal will need about a 30 ft. diameter clearing between
antennas for maximum range. We strongly recommend the antenna
be mounted as high as possible. The signal power will be reduced by
obstacles such as trees, bushes and buildings; the more obstacles in
between the less distance can be achieved. Metal and concrete are the
hardest for the signals to penetrate.
For best performance, please consider these few guidelines:
• The distance between the monitor and camera
-- Straight line, clear view, no obstacles in between, up to 1200 feet.
-- When the camera is in the trailer and the signal needs to go
through layers of metal and the antennas can’t see each other; up
to 60 feet.
• A fresh 9V battery to provide adequate power to transmit the signal.
A name brand alkaline 9V battery can operate the camera up to 2
hours during the day or 1 hour in night vision mode. Once you
know where you’d like to mount your camera, please hard wire the
12V trailer light power adapter to your trailer’s lighting system so
you won’t need to worry about changing the battery afterward.
• Mount the monitor booster antenna low and far back on the side of
your vehicle.
• Camera booster antenna should be mounted next to an opened win
dow or panel.
• Turn off the camera while it is not in use.
• When not in use for long periods of time, please store the unit in a
cool, dry place.

1. Use the clamping base or the permanent bracket to mount the
camera. The clamping base can be clamped on any pole or board
which is less than 2 ¼” diameters thick. Choose the mounting spot
(as high as possible) and tighten the clip bolt on the clamping base.
2. Plug the 110 /240V AC adapter into the power outlet and to the
camera.
3. Attach the antenna 5-pin connector to the camera, tighten the pin
screw.

2. Use the clamping base to mount the camera. The clamping base can
be clamped on any pole or board with less than 2 ¼” diameter
thickness. Choose the mounting spot and tighten the clip bolt on the
clamping base.
3. Loosen the tilt lock knob, adjust the camera, point it in the direction
you wish to monitor then tighten the tilt lock knob.
4. Attach the booster antenna (5-pin connector) to the camera, tighten
the pin connector screw.
5. Position and secure the booster antenna close to an opened window
or panel (the antenna has a magnet base). Unless your trailer is lon
ger than 40 feet, you don’t need to mount the camera booster
antenna outside of your trailer.
6. Arrange the excess antenna cable neatly.
7. Turn the camera ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
(Note : Once you know where you would like to clamp the camera, a
few trips later, please hard wire the 12V trailer light power adapter to
your trailer’s lighting system. That way, you won’t need to worry about
changing the battery any more.)
8. Adjust the position of the monitor, the antenna wire and the power
wire to avoid interference with the driver. You should be able to see
the observation object in your monitor now. You might need to
adjust the camera angle and/or the position of the booster antenna
for better reception.
To remove suction mount from windshield
1. Flip back the lever lock
2. Pull the tab on the suction mount rubber pad. The unit

Setting up the monitor in the vehicle
1. Attach the monitor to the suction mounting bracket.
2. Mount the suction mounting bracket to the windshield.
3. Attach the 7-pin connector antenna to the monitor. Tighten the
connector screw.
4. Place the monitor booster antenna inside of your vehicle, near a
window (window does not need to be opened) . Secure the antenna
and excess cable neatly. Do not let monitor or antenna interfere with
driver or passengers.
5. If your trailer is more than 40 feet long or has problems receiving
the signal from the camera, you may need to mount the booster
antenna outside of your vehicle.
Please refer to the following steps
– Open the car door, mount the monitor booster antenna
(magnet base) on the roof of your vehicle; Or, for better
results, mount the monitor booster antenna low and far back
on the side of your vehicle. (When using Trailer Eyes B2 set
in truck and trailer setting, the antenna rod can be folded
down.) Run the wire between the antenna and the monitor
through the car door and the car frame, not through the car
window and door frame. After the antenna is mounted, tuck
the antenna cable into the rubber frame edge, then shut the
car door. The cable will not be cut.
6. Plug the power jack into the monitor then plug the 12V car lighter
adapter into the car lighter socket. Turn the monitor on. (Press the
“Power” button, blue light will be lit) Some vehicles need the engine
turned on to supply power to the lighter socket.
7. Switch to the correct channel that coordinates with your camera’s
channel. To switch channels- Press the “CH” (Channel) button,
cycle through the channels. There are 8 channels to cycle through.
Once the correct channel is found, the screen will show the object
you are monitoring.
