   • Each camera input group provides a +12V power line for the camera. Connect the camera's power input to this line.
3. Trigger Signal Connections:
   • Connect the White wire to the vehicle's left turn signal.
   • Connect the Green wire to the vehicle's right turn signal.
   • Connect the Blue wire to the vehicle's reverse signal.
4. Video Output Connection:
   • Connect the single yellow RCA video output from the converter to your vehicle's display unit (monitor, head unit, etc.).
   • The converter also provides a power activation line for the display, which should be connected to your display's trigger input if available.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Jadeshay Car Video Switch Converter, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep Clean: Periodically wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Check Connections: Ensure all wiring connections remain secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation.
• Remote Control Battery: The wireless remote control uses a CR2025 coin cell battery. If the remote's functionality degrades, replace the battery. To replace, open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert a new CR2025 battery with the correct polarity.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or excessive moisture.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Jadeshay Car Video Switch Converter, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• No Video Output:
  • Verify all power connections (+12V and GND) are secure and receiving power.
  • Check the video output RCA cable connection to your display.
  • Ensure your display is set to the correct video input channel.
  • Confirm that the cameras themselves are powered and functioning correctly.
• Incorrect or No Automatic Switching:
  • Inspect the trigger signal wires (white, green, blue) for secure connections to the vehicle's turn signals and reverse light.
  • Ensure these trigger lines are receiving the correct voltage when activated.
  • Verify that the cameras connected to the specific inputs are working.
• Remote Control Not Working:
  • Replace the CR2025 battery in the remote control.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the video switch unit.
• Only Some Cameras Displaying:
  • Check the RCA connections for the non-displaying cameras.
  • Verify that the non-displaying cameras are receiving power from the converter's +12V camera power lines.
  • Test the individual cameras directly if possible to rule out camera malfunction.
