Because the WBU-800EU is truly wireless and does not tap into
your vehicle's transmission or backup light, you must tell the unit
when you are backing up. This also allows you to use your back up
camera to view behind the vehicle at any time.
When power is applied to the monitor an image will be present for
60 sec by default or the user selected time, if the screen goes blank
and more time is required press the for an image to return to
the monitor.

GETTING STARTED
The WBU-800EU is equipped with a built-in rechargeable lithium
battery and is connected with two solar panels that trickle charge
the built-in lithium battery when sunlight is available. This will
minimize or eliminate the need to manually charge the unit during
the year.
A USB charging port is provided to initially charge the battery
prior to mounting on your vehicle as well as to recharge if needed.
Your rechargeable battery when fully charged will last for several
months of average use with NO SUNLIGHT (average use is defined
as 4~6 times per day). With the addition of sunlight, the solar cells
will charge your battery thereby extending the cameras ability
to provide usage day after day and month after month without
requiring you to recharge it manually.
Remove camera assembly from box and make sure all components
are included.
