Installation

Prior to installing your backup camera, test all components using your vehicle
power or an external power supply to ensure proper functionality.

Install the backup camera

Step1: Remove the license plate.
Step2: Find the installation location and clean it with a microfiber cleaning cloth and alcohol (To ensure the camera stick firmly).
Step3: You can install the camera above/below your license plate. When you install ii below, flip the image vertically up/down in the setting menu if the image upside down.
Step4: Fix your license plate with screws.

Steps: Hole for camera cable. Look for an opening or drill a hole near the license plate to thread the camera cable into the interior of the vehicle.
For good visibility and easy installation, we would recommend you to remove the interior trim near the license plate.
Step6: Connect the camera cable. Connect the camera cable to the 4-pin socket of the power box. Make sure the cables are not pinched or knotted.
Step7: Connect the power box wire.

• Open the inner plastic panel and remove it from the hatch or tailgate. (The panels are usually attached to the tailgate by clips. This may take a bit longer time to avoid clip damages. Once this panel is removed, the rest of the work will be easy to finish.)
• Find the power wire (positive) of reversing light and connect it to the power box red wire. Then connect the black wire of the power box to the ground (iron part of the vehicle).
  

How to find the reverse light (Positive)?

a. Switch the key to ACC position, then shift your vehicle into R-gear.
b. Prepare a test light, connect the clip or clamp to a known ground source, then use the pointed end to pierce the plastic insulation on your wires to check if power is present. If the bulb of the test light illuminates confirming the wire has power, it might be the reverse light wire.
c. Shift your vehicle into another gear. Test all the wires which have power in R-gear again, if the bulb turns off, the wire should be the positive pole of the reverse light.

Note: For the best performance, we recommend placing the antenna vertically and not placing it in an airtight environment.
Step8: Run the power box cable. Secure the camera cable and power box cable with cable ties in the rear carriage. To avoid interference of the transmission, make sure there are no electrical loads or metal between the monitor and antenna.
Step9: Check the connection of the power box. First, engage the hand brake and be sure the vehicle is not shifted into gear. Vehicles with automatic transmission must be in “P” for parking lock. Turn the ignition to ON (II) but do not start the engine. Put the car charger into cigarette lighter to power on the monitor. If the power box is correctly connected, the camera signal will be transmitted to the monitor while reversing, and the monitor will display the camera image.
Note: The above wiring also applies to the second camera. The red wire should be connected to a positive electrode and the black wire should be connected to a ground wire. You can also connect the camera to other ACC power supplies or external power supplies.

Install the monitor

Step1: Connect the antenna to the monitor.
Step2: Open the locking screw and adjust the monitor to the desired
viewing angle then tighten the locking screw to secure the monitor.
Step3: Clean the area of the windshield or dashboard where you would like to mount your monitor. Press the suction cup against the mounting surface and push the suction cup lock lever down to lock the suction cup in place.

Step4: Connect the car charger with the monitor. Plug the car charger into 12V/24V power port in your vehicle.
Note: For a clean installation, you can hide the charging cable into the decorative seam around the edge of the dashboard, and if necessary, bundle the additional wires with a cable tie. The location of the monitor must not obstruct the visibility of the driver.

Note: Do not power the backup camera before completing steps 1-3.
The camera in the package is Cam1. Cam1 is pre-paired and set as rear camera as default.
Pairing more than 30 seconds will be closed (timed out). In this case, try pairing again. If you keep receiving no images after several attempts, contact customer support to assist in troubleshooting.

Switch Cam1/Cam2 display

If the monitor has been paired with both Cam1 &Cam2, and the monitor is not on any selling interface, press and hold T for 3 seconds lo switch between Cam1 and Cam2 display. Switching will be invalid in the following situations:

• When the monitor is only paired with one camera.
• When the monitor is paired with 2 cameras, but only one is connected successfully.

Note: The settings including Guide Line, M/U Control are set separately by channel. For example, when you change guidelines parameters on Cam1 channel, ii will only be changed on Cam1 but not on both cameras.

Confirm version number

The firmware version will be displayed in the upper and middle of the screen for 3 seconds. The screen version number starts with RX and the cameras’ with TX. For example, Cam1 is TX1: xxx, Cam2 is TX2: xxx.

1. When you charge the monitor, the brand logo is not displayed on the screen. CD Possible cause: The car charger is broken. Solution: Check if the red light of the car charger lights up, if not, please contact the seller to replace a new car charger.
2. When you charge the monitor, the brand logo is displayed on the screen. CD Possible cause: The camera is placed in a metal/sealed place. Solution: Please keep the camera away from metal or sealed place, and put the camera close to the monitor as possible as you can.
   Possible cause: The camera cables maybe not correctly connected or loose. Solution: Check if cables are connected to the reverse light correctly and lightly.
   Possible cause: The camera doesn’t pair to the monitor well. Solution: Try re-pair the camera with monitor. See ‘Pair the Cam2’ on page 7. Pairing of Cam1 and Cam2 are in the same way.

The monitor image isn’t clear enough.

1.  Possible cause: Bright light enters the camera lens. Solution: Move the backup camera out of the area of the interfering light.
2. Possible cause: The protective films on the monitor and backup camera aren’t removed. Solution: Remove films from the monitor and backup camera. GE
3. Possible cause: The camera lens may be dirty. Solution: Carefully clean the camera lens.

The image is flashing/the image delay is more than 2 seconds.

1. Possible cause: The camera is placed in a metal/sealed place. Solution: Please keep the camera away from metal or sealed place, and put the camera close to the monitor as possible as you can.
2. Possible cause: Your vehicle is longer than 7 meters. And when you put the camera closer to the monitor the image is stable. Solution: We suggest you to purchase extension cord if your vehicle is longer than 7 meters.

A red channel icon (CH1/CH2) flashes at the top-left corner of the monitor while reversing.

1. Possible cause: The monitor is not paired with the camera, or the monitor cannot find the paired camera. Solution: Try re-pair the camera with monitor. See ‘Pair the Cam2’ on page 7. Pairing of Caml and Cam2 are in the same way.
