6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LeeKooLuu LK3 Backup Camera System, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on monitor | Loose cable connection, no power, incorrect wiring. | Check all cable connections (camera to monitor, power adapter). Ensure power source (cigarette lighter or reverse light) is active. Verify wiring if hardwired. |
| Image is shaky or blurred | Camera vibration, dirty lens, faulty connection. | Ensure camera is securely mounted. Clean the camera lens. Check cable connections for stability. The system uses advanced optical anti-shaking technology, but extreme vibrations can still affect it. |
| Signal delays or interference | Electrical interference, cable damage. | The LK3 system is designed for stable signal transmission. Ensure the cable is not pinched or damaged. Avoid routing cables near high-voltage wires if possible. |
| Night vision not working | Green wire cut, insufficient ambient light. | Ensure the green wire (for LED control) is intact if you desire LED illumination. The system automatically adjusts to low light. |
| Parking lines incorrect or missing | Lines turned off or misconfigured in settings. | Access the monitor's menu to enable and adjust the parking guide lines (width, position). |
