5 INSTALLATION GUIDE Replacement Monitor The mirror monitor replaces the existing car mirror. Carefully remove the mirror off the pin. Slide the replacement mirror on to the pin and secure it with the screw provided (already in the screw hole).different cars have different brackets. Depending on your vehicle make and manufacturer. There are many methods to remove the original rearview mirror, however, please don t force the mirror off the bracket.

The Mirror Monitor attaches to the existing rear view mirror in vehicle with the pressurized clips on the back of the monitor. 2. Attach monitor to existing mirror, and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. Camera & Cable Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera cable uses aircraft grade connectors which means the camera cable can be exposed to all weather elements. Do not run the cable over sharp edges, do not kink the cable and keep away from HOT and rotating parts. Fasten all cables and secure all excess cable. Connect camera to the camera extension cable which runs inside the vehicle. Figure 1.2 Wiring After connecting the camera to the camera cable the camera should be plugged into AV2 input. Connect the RED 12V power wire to an ignition power source and the BLACK 12V ground wire to a chassis ground. The GREEN wire is the REVERSE trigger wire. Connect this wire to the vehicle s backup light circuit to activate the rear-view image whenever the vehicle shifts into reverse. To connect a second camera, connect it to AV1 input. It can be turned on by pressing the power button on the monitor. Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2 Precautions For Use Of Mirror Monitor I. The Mirror Monitor is made of glass. Do not subject it to a mechanical shock by dropping it from a high place, etc. II. Do not apply excessive force to the monitor surface or the adjoining areas since this may cause the color tone to vary. III. Clean with a soft dry cloth and/or Windex only. IV. Do not attempt to disassemble the mirror monitor. Safety Before drilling, be sure no cable or wire is on the other side. Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle & clamp securely. This reduces the possibility of cable being hooked or snagged. INSTALLATION GUIDE + TIPS 8 Rear View Safety 9
