4.3 Monitor operation

97152_R󾾠ckfahrkamera_RV3.5_ Manual _07_03_12_Print Mittwoch, 7. M󾾠rz 2012 11:42:17The vehicle ignition and the monitor are switched on and the car is in reverse but the display remains dark. The blue LED doesn‘t light up. The 12 V monitor cable plug is not plugged into the vehicle‘s cigarette lighter or a 12 V outlet.

Plug the 12 V monitor cable plug into the cigarette lighter or a 12 V vehicle outlet. Replace the defective fuse inside the 12 V monitor cable plug with a new fuse (see item 4.6). The fuse inside the 12 V monitor cable plug is burnt out and must be replaced. Replace the defective fuse for the cigarette lighter or the 12 V out- let inside the vehicle‘s fuse box. The fuse for the vehicle‘s ciga- rette lighter or the 12 V outlet is burnt out and must be replaced. The ignition is switched on, the car in reverse, but the monitor display is blank. There is no connection between the camera and the monitor. The camera cables may not be correctly connected or have loosened. Check if the camera connection cable is correctly and securely connected to the reversing light cable. The image on the monitor shows interference. Other wireless appliances (e.g. mo- bile phone) are interfering with the signal between monitor and camera. Switch off all other wireless appliances (e.g. mobile phone). The wireless connection between monitor and camera is too weak, thus interfering with data trans- mission. Position the transmitter closer to the monitor or adjust the position of the monitor. The monitor image is not dis- played clearly. The camera lens may be dirty. Carefully clean the camera lens. Bright light is hitting the camera lens. The image quality will improve once you move out of the area of the interfering light. Solutions, repairPossible causesError / malfunction
