3. Safety Precautions
Read all safety warnings and instructions before using this product to prevent injury or damage.
- Voltage Compatibility: This product is designed for 12V to 24V vehicle power systems. Do not use it outside this voltage range.
- Pre-Installation Check: Before installation, ensure your vehicle's battery and wiring are in good condition.
- Malfunction: If the product malfunctions or shows abnormalities, discontinue use immediately. Disconnect the power cord and contact customer support for inspection, repair, or replacement.
- Temperature Exposure: Avoid leaving the product in high temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Water Exposure (Monitor): The rear camera has an IP68 waterproof rating, but the display monitor is NOT waterproof. Do not install the display in locations prone to water exposure. If water enters the display, stop use immediately.
- Ventilation: Do not cover the display's ventilation holes with cloth or other objects. Do not place metal or flammable objects on the screen, as this may cause a short circuit.
- Power Cable: Use only the provided car charging cable, which includes built-in protection and fuses. Using unauthorized power cables may lead to fire or electric shock. If the power cable is damaged, stop use and contact customer support for a replacement.
4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Power Supply Methods
The system offers two power supply options:
- Cigarette Lighter Power: Use the included car charger. Connect it directly to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. The monitor and camera connect via the main cable. The monitor's display can be turned ON/OFF at any time using the red button switch on the car charger. This method is simple and quick for beginners.
- Direct Wiring to Reverse Light: Connect the rear camera's power cable to your vehicle's reverse light (positive and negative terminals). This method does not occupy the cigarette lighter socket, and the monitor will automatically activate when the vehicle is put into reverse.

4.2 Mounting Options
The monitor can be flexibly mounted on the dashboard or windshield using the suction cup mount. The camera can be mounted using the traditional rear lens mount or the new U-shaped license plate holder. The U-shaped mount avoids drilling holes in the car body.
