5. INSTALLATION

Before installation

• Before installing the camera or its wiring, read all safety warnings and be sure to install the unit correctly.
• Before installing the camera permanently, use adhesive tape to mount the camera in its proposed position, then check the image in the monitor to confirm proper display before fixing the camera in its final position.

WARNING

- Disconnect the battery's negative (−) terminal installing wiring.

Precautions when using two-sided tape for installation

■ Do not install on glass or body surfaces treated with fluorinated resins or other water-repellent treatments.
- Do not install within the sweep of a rear-window wiper, or near the window washer's nozzle.
- Abide by the following rules in order to prevent lowering of the installation tape's adhesion:
- As far as possible, install on a day with clear weather.
- Within the first 24 hours after installation, do not expose the installation to moisture (water, rain, mist, snow, etc.), or subject the installation to strong forces or impacts.
- When installation must be performed under conditions of low ambient temperature (20°C or below), use a hair dryer to warm the surface of the bracket where the 2-sided tape is to be applied.
- Do not touch the bracket-mounting surface's 2-sided tape, and do not attempt to move or reset the tape after initial application.

Installing/Wiring the camera

1. Install mounting bracket B

Use the supplied cleaner to clean the vehicle surface to which the bracket is to be applied, then remove the protective paper from the mounting surface of bracket B and press securely onto the vehicle surface.

Notes:

• Before using the supplied cleaner, read the label on the cleaner container thoroughly.
• Do not wipe the camera body with the cleaner, since it may be discolored or otherwise damaged.
• Before removing the protective paper on the bracket, place it in the proposed position on the vehicle and confirm that the surfaces match properly without gaps.
• When using screws to install the bracket, use the right-left screw holes provided on bracket B.

2. Install mounting bracket A

Using the supplied 2 installation screws (hex head M3 x 6), fasten bracket A to bracket B.

- While tightening the screws, adjust the angle of the bracket A to produce the optimum camera angle.

To mount the camera at a level angle, mount bracket A's engraved leveling line (——) even with the center of the installation screws when tightening.
