Frequently Asked Questions - APR043x2 Pro-User

How to install the camera on the license plate?

Remove the license plate, attach the supplied bracket behind the plate, then mount the camera on the bracket. Adjust the angle vertically. Ensure the field of view is clear.

How to connect the system to the vehicle's electrical system?

Identify the reverse light (white), connect the red wire of the transmitter unit to positive (+) and the black wire to negative (-). Use the supplied connectors. Disconnect the battery before operation.

What to do if the screen remains black?

Check that the monitor is on (POWER button). Make sure the power cable is properly connected to the cigarette lighter socket and that reverse gear is engaged. If the blue LED flashes, there is a signal problem.

How to adjust brightness and contrast?

Press the MENU button, use the ▲ and ▼ arrows to navigate between Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Direction. Press MENU again to confirm the setting.

The advertised range is 80 m, but the image cuts out before. Why?

The 80 m range is in open field. Interference (phones, GPS, electrical cables) can reduce the range. Move away from interference sources and check that the transmitter antenna is clear.

Can I use the camera in rainy weather?

Yes, the camera is designed for outdoor use. However, avoid exposing it to direct water jets. In rain, the image may be slightly impaired.

How to enable or disable the guideline lines?

Press the GUIDELINE button on the monitor to show or hide the distance markings on the screen.

Is the warranty valid if I install the system myself?

Yes, the 2-year warranty applies, unless the device is damaged by incorrect installation or unauthorized repairs. To claim the warranty, return the device with your invoice.

How to clean the monitor screen?

Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive products or solvents that could damage the screen.

Can I add a third camera?

No, this model is designed to work with a maximum of two cameras. The two cameras are supplied and connected to their own transmitter units.

INSTALLATION

These instructions do not apply to all vehicles. They are only meant as a general guide due to the number of different makes & models. For vehicle specific questions contact your vehicle's manufacturer.

Camera installation

There are several ways to mount the camera on the back of your car. But the most convenient is to mount it near the license plate of the car. Supplied is one mounting plate that can be fixed behind the license plate, and the mounting plate have been installed in the camera.

The camera is tiltable, camera angle can be adjusted manually on vertical direction. Make sure that its field of view and detection are not obstructed.

At some type of cars it is not possible to mount the camera near the license plate. You may have to find another spot at the back of your car to mount the camera.

There are two sets of cameras and transmitters, use the same way below to install them on the vehicle and trailer respectively.

1. Remove the rear license plate, and then loosen the license plate bolts/screws.

TMS537

1. Mount the license plate on the license plate bracket.

TMS537

1. Choose a routing path for the camera's power cable through the vehicle's body to the reverse light circuit. If in doubt, seek professional installation assistance.

2. Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through, such as where the license plate light is mounted, or you can drill a hole close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. Once you have chosen where the cable will enter the vehicle's body, remove the camera. If you are able to use an existing opening, skip the next two steps.

3. Before you drill a hole you MUST CHECK and see WHAT IS BEHIND WHERE YOU ARE DRILLING. If there are any vehicle components, such as electrical parts or fuel system components behind where you are drilling, you must take whatever precaution is necessary not to damage them. Remove the license plate and camera before drilling.
4. After you have drilled the hole, insert the supplied grommet, then pass the camera cables through the grommet into the vehicle. You must use the grommet to prevent the metal edge of the hole from cutting the camera cable.
5. Mount the transmitter box inside the trunk. Connect the camera's power cable and the transmitter box power cable to the transmitter box.

NOTICE: Choose position to mount the transmitter boxes as close as possible to the receiver for better signal transmission; The length of the power cables are long enough for routing from the rear end to the front of the vehicle or trailer. The transmitter doesn't comply with weatherproof.

1. Next you'll need to find the vehicle's reverse lights. Turn the vehicle's ignition key to the accessory position, engage the parking brake and put the car in reverse. Look at the vehicle's tail lights to see where the reverse lights are located, they are the white lights. To locate the reverse light's 12V+ wire it will be necessary to gain access to the rear of the vehicle's tail light. For help locating the vehicle's reverse light circuit contact your vehicle's manufacturer for vehicle specific wiring diagrams.

2. Once you have located the reverse light circuit you will have to route the transmitter box power cable to that location. You must securely fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle component such as the trunk hinge. Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle!

3. The reverse light sockets on most vehicles have two wires connected to them. Usually the negative wire is black and the positive wire is a colored wire. If you are uncertain about the wiring, you can use a 12 volt multimeter available at most auto parts stores to determine which is the positive wire. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the safe use of the multimeter.

    G["CAMERA"] --> H["Ground"]

1. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the ignition key, then remove the battery's negative cable.
2. Splice the red wire using the supplied in-line wire connectors to the reverse light's positive (+) wire. Use a set of slip joint pliers to squeeze the TAP and insure good connection.

1. Next splice the black wire of the transmitter box power cable to the reverse light's negative (-) wire or ground.
2. Replace the reverse light bulb, and then re-install the light socket. Secure all the wires with cable ties or electrical tape.
3. Re-attach the negative battery cable to the battery.

Monitor Installation

When choosing a location to mount the monitor, make sure the monitor is in an area that will not obstruct your vision while driving.

1. Before mounting the monitor, clean the mounting surface well.
2. Position the suction mount to the smooth surface which suits your requirement.
3. Press the suction cap against the smooth surface and press the lock down to attach and fix the mount to the surface.

1. Route the power cable to the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket/12V power outlet. The cable must not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.
2. Insert the small 12 Volt DC plug of the power cable into the right side of the monitor.
3. Plug the 12 Volt cigarette lighter plug into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.

To maximize the effectiveness of the suction mount, it is recommended that the application be performed under the following conditions:

• Surface temperature should be between 21 and 38 degrees Celsius.
- Application below 10 degrees should be avoided.
- Application should not occur in direct sunlight.

Mounting should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a period of 24 hours.

NOTE: UNDER EXTREME BRIGHT LIGHT CONDITIONS, THE SCREEN IMAGE MAY TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO STABLIZE. PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE IMAGE HAS STABLIZED BEFORE BACKING UP.

System testing

1. Reattach the vehicle's negative battery cable.
2. Turn the ignition key to the accessory position, do not start the vehicle.
3. Engage the parking brake, and then put the shifter in the reverse position.
4. After testing the unit and you are satisfied with the route you have chosen for the cabling, you must permanently install it.
5. Route all wires behind interior panels or under carpeting so they are hidden. Use supplied cable ties to neatly gather any excess wire.

OPERATION

The monitor will automatically turn on when the vehicle is in reverse gear. There are 5 control buttons available for users to have their controls:
