Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
The system powers on automatically when the car charger is plugged into the 12V outlet and the vehicle's ignition is on. Use the ON/OFF button on the cigarette lighter adapter to manually control power if needed.

The monitor provides a continuous real-time view of the area behind your vehicle, suitable for both reversing and continuous driving observation.
Multi-Function Settings
The system offers customizable settings by modifying specific wires on the camera cable:
- Parking Guidelines: To disable the parking guidelines displayed on the monitor, locate the green wire on the camera cable and cut it. To re-enable, reconnect the wire.
- Mirror/Normal Image: To switch the image from mirror view (default for rear camera) to normal view (suitable for front camera use), locate the white wire on the camera cable and cut it. To revert to mirror view, reconnect the wire.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Camera Lens and Monitor Screen
