I/O Cable Installation
The IO Box provides multi-purpose sensor inputs that allow external devices to trigger an event
record in the mirror. It also provides an Output Alarm to turn devices on or off when an event
trigger occurs. The output alarm is also used to trigger the RMT-800 wireless microphone during a
record event. Common external sensors include; emergency lights, siren, brake pedal, turn signal
indicators, reverse gear, covert foot-switch, or door sensors.
