The monitor supports two video inputs, V1 and V2. You can manually switch between them using the 'Video Switch' button on the monitor or 'Video Select' on the remote control. When a signal is detected on the V2 input (typically from a backup camera and triggered by the reverse light), the monitor will automatically switch to V2, overriding V1.

- Cable Inspection: Periodically check all cables for signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged cables immediately to prevent electrical issues.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
