• Extra care should be taken when starting up the system. Therefore, please follow the
operating instructions carefully.
• Improper mounting and cabling of the camera can lead to damage of the electrical system
of the vehicle, including important computer and operating systems. This could lead to an
accident (e.g. electric shock) or fire, which could result in material damage and/or serious
personal injury. We recommend having the mounting and connection done by a qualified
automotive electrician.
• Wireless devices such as WLAN routers, Bluetooth devices or mobile communication devices
can have a disruptive influence on the operation of the monitor. If this is the case, you will see
rolling lines, blurry images or static images on the monitor.
• Make sure that the connection cables are not pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
• Contact a specialist if you have any doubts about how the system functions, about the safety
aspects or how to connect the system.
• If light falls directly on the camera, the result may be that the surroundings are not shown
clearly. In fluorescent light, the monitor may flicker.
• Dirt, rain or snow can limit the function of the camera.
• The use of the camera as a reverse driving video system does make backing into a parking
space easier, but it does not release you from your obligation to be vigilant. Please observe
the road traffic regulations (StV0), (German road traffic regulations). The operation at a speed
of more than 3 km/h is at your own risk and not recommended. Otherwise there is a very great
danger of an accident.
• A reverse driving system should increase safety and protection. It is not intended to
replace other safe driving habits. Precise control and looking around before backing up is
recommended. This applies especially in the vicinity of pedestrians or in areas with traffic
that crosses the direction of reverse travel as well as for use in darkness or glaring light. The
device’s method of operation may mean that certain obstacles are not detected, or are not
reliably detected.
• Colours of the surroundings that are shown on the monitor - especially in darkness - deviate
from the actual colours of the surroundings.
• Be sure to follow the safety instructions of the tool manufacturer when using tools to install
your system.
• When installing the system, take into consideration the risk of accident which can arise from
components being torn away in the event of an accident. Therefore, you should secure each
component in a place where it will not pose a risk to passengers.
• The camera must not obstruct the vehicle’s rear lights, the number plate, or any other part of
the vehicle’s equipment, and it must be flush with the edge of the vehicle.
• This installation manual does not apply for all vehicle types. Due to the huge number of
manufacturers and automotive makes, the following installation steps should serve as
general guidelines. In case of vehicle-specific questions please contact the manufacturer or a
specialist workshop. Check the motor vehicle laws in a given country to find out whether the
installation, the installation location and the use of this system are permitted.
• Please also observe the additional safety instructions in each individual section of these
instructions.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the appliance.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an
authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our
technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Connected devices
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected
to the product.
c) LED light
• Attention, LED light:
- Do not look directly into the LED light!
- Do not look into the beam directly or with optical instruments!

Item No. 2149730
Intended Use
The product is designed as a high-quality CCD camera which is mounted behind a glass pane in a robust
metal casing with integrated heater. If the camera is not used for a long period of time, it is protected from
dirt and damages by a shutter. Four infrared LEDs are integrated in the housing that turn on automatically
via a light sensor and improve the vision at night. The camera image can be mirrored left/right via a magnetic
drain plug. To operate the camera, a monitor with the PAL system and a cinch video and audio input is also
required, along with diverse installation material.

Safety Instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information.
If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this
manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property.
Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
a) General Information
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dangerous playing
material for children.
• Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it
from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
• The camera is built according to the German DIN norm in protection class IP69 and is thus
protected against sprayed water. This system construction enables use outside a motor
vehicle. To avoid damage to the camera from hose water getting into it, cleaning the camera
with cleaning devices that use pressurised water (steam jet) is not permitted. The warranty will
be void in cases of non-compliance!
• When installing and operating the system, always observe the applicable motor vehicle
regulations and road traffic regulations. Get yourself familiarised before driving in a foreign
country whether the mounting, mounting location and operation of the camera is permitted
and does not violate applicable laws or ordinances.
• Modifications to the vehicle which are made necessary through the installation of the system
or other components must always be carried out in such a manner that neither the traffic
safety nor the designed stability of the car is impaired.
• With many vehicles, the MOT will be void if you cut out a section of the sheet metal. Find out
ahead of time from the vehicle manufacturer or a specialist shop.
• No components may be installed within range of the fully-expanded airbag, as this could lead
to injury to the vehicle’s occupants in the event of an accident.
• If you are in doubt about where to install the device, consult your specialist workshop.
• Before drilling, make sure that this will not lead to any damage to electric cables, brake leads,
the fuel tank or similar.
• Only the 12V/DC direct current power supply may be used as a voltage source. Never connect
the system to any other power supply.
