- Ensure both the camera and monitor are powered on.
- Press the pairing button on the camera (usually located near the charging port) for a few seconds until an indicator light flashes.
- On the monitor, navigate to the pairing menu (refer to the monitor's on-screen display for specific instructions).
- Confirm pairing on the monitor. The image from the camera should now appear.
5. Operation
5.1 Powering On/Off
- The monitor will automatically power on when connected to a power source and the vehicle is started.
- To manually turn off the monitor, use the power button on the monitor or the provided remote button.
- The camera is solar-powered and will activate automatically when the vehicle is in reverse or when the monitor is powered on.
5.2 Monitor Functions
The 7-inch monitor offers various settings and display options:
- Display Modes: Switch between normal, mirror, flip, and mirror-flip views.
- Guidelines: Enable or disable parking guidelines and adjust their position.
- Brightness/Contrast: Adjust display settings for optimal viewing.

5.3 Charging the Camera
The camera is primarily charged via its integrated solar panels. For situations with insufficient sunlight, a Type-C charging port is available.
- Solar Charging: The double-wing solar panels efficiently convert sunlight into energy, charging the internal 4800mAh battery. This provides continuous power under normal conditions.
- Type-C Fast Charging: If solar charging is insufficient, connect the camera to a Type-C charger using the provided USB cable. A full charge via Type-C takes approximately 4 hours, compared to 40 hours via standard USB.
