Before Installation:

•This system operates on 12 Volts DC only, negative ground

•For maximum operating range, try to minimize the number of

obstacles between the transmitter and receiver units.

•This system broadcasts high-quality audio and video, using

directional antennas that must be orientated in certain

configurations for best results. The flat-pitted faces on the

receiver and transmitter have antenna which have been designed

to face each other.

•This system is NOT waterproof, and should not be used in a wet

or high humidity environment as this can cause system damage

or electrical shock.

•Do not stand on this product, or place things on this product.

Installation Instructions:

TRANSMITTER

1) Insert the power harness connector provided into the DC IN

socket on the rear panel.

2) Position the transmitter near the camera and mount using four of

the provided screws. Flat-pitted face should be facing toward the

front of the vehicle. See figure 1.

3) Connect the cable of the transmitter and camera.

RECEIVER

1) Position the receiver near the monitor and mount using the

remaining four provided screws. Flat-pitted face should be facing

Transmitter and Receiver Placement:

Figure 1

For best reception the transmitter and receiver must be aligned with the

flat-pitted faces back to back. The antenna in the receiver should face the

rear of the vehicle and the antenna in the transmitter should face the front

of the vehicle. RF signal can be picked up between the receiver and the

transmitter best by using this method.
