4.2 Power Connection
The monitor operates on 12V DC power. For in-vehicle use, it can be wired directly to a 12V power source (e.g., cigarette lighter circuit) or an ignition-switched power line. For home use, a 12V DC power adapter (sold separately) is required.
The power cable includes an in-line fuse for protection. Ensure proper polarity when connecting: red wire for positive (+), black wire for negative (-).
4.3 Video and Audio Connections
- HDMI: Connect an HDMI cable from your video source to the monitor's HDMI input for high-definition digital video and audio.
- VGA: Use a VGA cable to connect to a computer or other VGA-compatible device for analog video input.
- RCA Video (2 Inputs): Connect composite video sources using RCA cables (yellow connector).
- RCA Audio Output (L/R): For audio, connect the RCA (red/white) audio output jacks to an external sound system or amplifier, as the monitor does not have built-in speakers.
