P.

 

Due to transmission of RF signal we suggest installing the STU with a clear 
view in front of it.  However, we understand this is not always possible 
therefore, a good rule of thumb would be to have at least 6 feet of clearance 
in front of the STU in order to avoid reception problems. 

Q.

 

It is important to have the camera lens pointing in the correct direction as 
well as the correct level to insure a good picture. 

 

 

If your unit is magnetically mounted, please do not screw through mounting tabs. This 
could cause damage to the mounting tabs because the magnets prevent the tabs from 
being flush with the mounting surface.
