Wiring Instructions

Connect the monitor using the provided video and power cable. Refer to the diagram below for proper connections:

• Power Connection: Connect the red wire to a positive 12V DC power source and the black wire to a negative/ground point.
• AV Inputs: The monitor has two AV inputs (AV1 and AV2).
  • AV1: Typically used for car DVD, VCR, or other general video equipment.
  • AV2: Dedicated for connection to a car backup camera.
• Reverse Priority (Blue Wire): Connect the blue wire to the positive wire of your vehicle's reverse light. This enables the monitor to automatically display the rear view camera feed when the vehicle is put into reverse. If the blue wire is not connected, you will need to manually switch to the AV2 input.
