SAFETY INFORMATION

16
WARNING: A failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions
may result in a serious accident, including damaged property or a serious
injury, including loss of life.
• The 1080P Roadcam is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting
large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle. However, you,
the driver, must use it safely and properly. Use of the 1080P Roadcam is
not a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving.
• Never depend on the 1080P Roadcam entirely when driving. The image
on the screen is different from actual conditions. Objects viewed on the
Roadcam Monitor differ from actual distance because a wide-angle lens
is used.
• Always check behind and all around the vehicle visually with mirrors
before proceeding.
• The area displayed by the 1080P Roadcam is limited. The 1080P
Roadcam does not display objects that are out of the camera’s field of
view. The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle
orientation or road conditions.
• Be sure to check the camera’s position and mounting angle before each use.
• Do not strike the 1080P Roadcam. It is a precision instrument.
Otherwise, it may malfunction or cause damage resulting in a fire or an
electric shock.
• This product will only provide images of items that are within the field
of view of the 1080P Roadcam. Thus, it is imperative that the 1080P
Roadcam should be kept clean and unobstructed.
• Adhere to all applicable traffic laws and motor vehicle regulations
applicable to the device.
• Consult local laws and regulations for any restrictions on installation or use.
• Never allow children to play with the device. Small parts may be a
choking hazard.

17
Safety Around and Behind Other Vehicles
Using a 1080P Roadcam is not enough to completely overcome a vehicle’s
blind spot. Many preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or
parking lots when drivers do not see children, pets, or others near their
vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help you to avoid an accident:
• Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids,
toys, and pets before entering the vehicle and starting the engine.
• Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are
in full view.
• Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.
• Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising
children, especially when children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot
playing near parked cars.
• There is a plastic cover over the 1080P Roadcam. Do not scratch the
cover when cleaning dirt or snow from it.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, the system may not operate normally.
• When strong light directly enters a camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly.
• The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
• The colors of objects on the 1080P Roadcam may differ from those of the
actual object.
• Do not use alcohol or thinner to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera, wipe with a clean cloth dampened with
mild cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.

MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY

lens, rinse with water and wipe with a dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol or thinner to clean the camera. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the camera, wipe with a clean cloth dampened
