HOW TO INSTALL
Installation Precautions
●
Never swing the camera by the cable or pull the cable. Doing so may impair the cam-
era's waterproofi ng or break the cable, resulting in malfunction.
●
Avoid mounting the camera in places where the lens surface is easily stained by mud or
emission gases etc.
●
When the branches of roadside trees hit the camera when driving, the mounting angle
of the camera may change and the screen may not appear normally. Therefore we rec-
ommend installing a strong protective cover around the camera without obstructing the
fi eld of view of the camera so that the branches of roadside trees do not hit the camera
directly.
Installation Precautions
1
Drill two installation holes of diameter 3�5 mm in the vehicle side�
To prevent camera shake, drill a hole in an area strong enough to mount the camera. If the part is not strong enough, carry
out appropriate reinforcement.
2
Use the enclosed screws and flange nuts to firmly secure the mounting bracket to the
vehicle side� (2 locations)
3
Secure the main camera unit to the enclosed mounting bracket� (1 location on the left and
right each)
Never install only the left or right side of the mounting bracket.
Pitch dimension of installation holes = 10 mm - 24 mm

See the wiring instructions on how to lay the cables�
5
After connecting the cables, adjust the mounting angle of the camera� (Mounting angle on
a vertical surface is approx� 40 degrees in general�)
6
After adjusting the camera mounting angle, fully tighten the screws that have been
secured temporarily to secure the main camera unit�
7
Make sure you apply sealing material (sealant etc�) around the installation holes for
mounting the mounting bracket to the vehicle side, screws and car cable ducts to prevent
water ingress and rust�

WIRING AND CONNECTIONS
Wiring Precautions
●
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before connect-
ing the cables. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or
injury due to short-circuit.
●
Pass the relay cable inside the car to prevent it from getting
damaged. When you have no choice but to lay the cable outside
the car, make sure it is well secured to the vehicle side to avoid
it getting caught by branches and to prevent the cable from clattering. In addition, besides
connecting the connector securely, install it in a location that is not easily exposed to wa-
ter.
●
When laying each cable, as far as possible avoid hot areas such as the engine, exhaust
pipe, transmission etc., as well as rotating parts and noise sources such as the cooling
fan, alternator etc., and then cover it with a corrugated tube before securing with a clamp.
●
Never cut the cables as each cable is a special cable with an in-built coaxial line.
●
When baking and coating the vehicle, make sure the cables are laid only after the coating.
●
Use a protective tube or grommet to protect the cables in
places where they can be easily cut by the cross-sectional area
of metal sheets or metallic parts with through holes. Lay the
cables without twisting or bending them excessively to avoid
damaging them as this may result in internal short circuits.
Note that the waterproofi ng will be affected when the external cov-
ering is cut.

Do not pull or bend the fitting or apply a load of more than 30 N on it .
The connector may be damaged if an excessive load is applied.
CLEANING THE CAMERA
●
●
Do not use benzene, thinners or alcohols to clean the camera.
●
●
Do not wipe the camera using a detergent mixed with polishing powder. This may result in
scratches to the camera.
●
●
If the lens is dirty, use a soft cloth containing water to wipe it lightly. Scratches may result if
you wipe the lens hard with a dry cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Please follow the following troubleshooting procedures in case of any problems.
Consult your dealer if you cannot resolve the issue on your own.
Symptom
Reason
Solution
No image
Wiring is incomplete
or disconnected
Check wiring once again and Confirm correct connec-
tions.
A fuse is burned out.
When using an independent power supply box, check
the fuse and, if burned out, replace with a new one of the
same capacity. If the fuse burns out repeatedly, consult
your dealer or nearest Clarion Service Center.
Poor image is pro-
duced
The lens is soiled.
Wipe lightly with a damp soft cloth. Do not rub harshly
with dry cloths since scratches may be produced.
Sunlight or headlights
from other vehicle are
shining directly in the
camera.
The image will return to normal when the light striking the
lens is removed.
The environment is
too dark.
The image display will be poor at night or in dim light.
The image will return to normal in conditions of brighter
illumination.
The level of illumi-
nation outside the
vehicle changed too
abruptly.
• When moving from a bright to a dark location (espe-
cially from bright sunlight to shade), the image may ap-
pear excessively dark.
• When moving from a dark to a bright location (espe-
cially from shade into bright sunlight), the screen image
may appear excessively bright.
