On a towel or soft cloth, gently place the monitor assembly “face down” on a stable
work surface.

Using the wires provided, complete the audio, video and power connections in
your vehicle as shown in the diagram below.

Thread all the wires through the
round hole in the center of the
mounting plate.

Install the monitor onto the
mounting plate, using the four
screws provided.

Using the four black self-tapping
screws provided, attach the monitor
mounting plate by screwing through
the headliner and into the existing
roof supports or the wood bracket
you made (see TIP below).

To lower the monitor, press the Monitor Release button and pull the monitor down.
It will drop freely to 45º.

To lower the monitor further, continue pulling down and the internal mechanism
will permit further movement and will hold the monitor in the position in which you
leave it.

To avoid accidental damage, we suggest you always close the monitor assembly
when it is not in use. To do so, rotate the monitor back to a 0º left-to-right position,
and push it up into the monitor base until you hear a “click.”  Test that it is secured
by gently pulling down on monitor frame.

To turn the monitor on, press and hold the POWER button for two seconds. When
the power is ON, if an input signal is present, the picture will be displayed on the
screen. If no signal is present, the monitor will display the message "NO SIGNAL."

If you know a video input signal is present but the monitor displays "NO SIGNAL,"
be sure to try pressing the AV SELECT button to see if your input source is connected
to the other AV input.

To adjust the monitor image, press MENU to access the various adjustment controls
such as BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST. Use the +/- buttons to adjust each parameter
until you are satisfied with the picture quality.

This unit features dual dome lights, which turn on when you open a door. To turn
the dome lights on or off manually, simply press the round button near the right
dome light.
