• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Screws, bolts, or cable ties (to secure the transmitter)
• Solderless wire-splice connector or solder and heat-shrink tubing
• RV sealant (optional)
Installation
Camera Mounting Considerations
When selecting a location to mount the camera, observe these considerations.
• You should test a mounting location before you permanently mount the
camera.
• Installing the camera higher on the back of the vehicle provides a better
viewing angle.
• The included bracket can be clipped onto a license plate or other similar
surface, or it can be fastened to the back of the vehicle using the included
self-tapping, panhead screws.
Transmitter Location and Wiring Considerations
NOTICE
The transmitter is not intended to be held or worn on your body while it is in use.
When selecting a location to install the wireless transmitter, observe these
considerations.
• You should test a proposed installation location before you permanently
install the transmitter.
• Some vehicles do not provide constant minimum voltage to the reverse
lamps. You should use an automotive relay when connecting the transmitter
and camera to a power source that does not provide constant voltage.
• Although the transmitter can transmit the video signal approximately 45 ft
(13.5 m), the location of the transmitter can affect this range.
◦ The closer you install the transmitter to the device, the more reliable the
signal.
◦ The signal transmits from the flat front and back surfaces
À
of the
transmitter. The transmitter provides the best signal when either flat
surface points toward the receiver.
◦ Dense metal or appliances
Á
in the path of the transmitter greatly reduce
the transmission distance.
◦ The fewer solid objects that exist between the path of the transmitter and
the device, the more reliable the signal.
• The fuse holder located near the transmitter is not waterproof. Installing the
fuse holder in a location that is exposed to the elements is not recommended.
• The connector between the camera and the transmitter is not waterproof. If
you make this connection in a location exposed to the elements, you must
make sure that the connection is waterproof.
• If you are installing the camera on a boat trailer or other location that may be
exposed to water, you must waterproof all wiring connections and the fuse
holder in the transmitter cable.
Testing the Camera and Transmitter Location
1
Temporarily secure the camera in the preferred mounting location.
