5. Operating Instructions
The RAAYOO L002-U1 camera features multifunctional wire loops that allow customization of its output. Ensure the camera is powered off before making any changes to the wire loops, and power it on again after cutting.
5.1. Multifunctional Wire Loops
- Orange Loop: Converts AHD 720P to CVBS image. Cut this loop if your head unit does not support AHD 720P. The default setting is AHD 720P.
- Green Loop: Cancels the guide line display. Cut this loop to remove parking guidelines from the image. The default setting includes guide lines.
- White Loop: Converts rear view (mirror image) to front view (normal image). Cut this loop to switch the image orientation for front camera use. The default setting is rear view (mirror image).

7. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following information for common issues and solutions:
7.1. No Image Display
- Compatibility Check: This camera is only compatible with car screens that have an RCA connector. It is not designed for dash cameras, GPS units, or car recorders.
- AHD/CVBS Signal: If your head unit supports AHD 720P, ensure the camera is set to AHD 720P/NTSC. Navigate to your car's settings (e.g., Car settings >> Factory settings >> Reverse (Picture) settings) and select AHD720P/NTSC (CVBS N). If your head unit does not support AHD 720P, cut the orange wire loop on the camera cable to switch to HD CVBS video signal. Failure to do so may result in a black screen.
- Factory Radio Connection: If connecting to a factory radio and no image appears, you may need to order a specific harness and programmer to complete the installation, as different radios require different components to function correctly.

For compatibility with RAAYOO 5-inch monitors, the camera must be switched to CVBS signal mode by cutting the orange wire loop.
