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. It can be placed on the dashboard, at-
tached to an air vent, or on the windshield depending
on the viewing angle.
Choose a Location and Power Cable
1. Temporarily place the monitor stand in the location
that you have chosen.
2. If you are using the supplied Monitor Wiring Har-
ness, route the power cable to the vehicle’s fuse
box. If you are using the 12V adaptor, route the pow-
er cable to the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket/12V
power outlet. The cable must not interfere with the
safe operation of the vehicle.
Mounting the Monitor Stand
Before permanently mounting the monitor, clean the mounting area well with isopro-
pyl alcohol, then dry thoroughly.
1. With the two pieces of the oval hook & loop fas-
tener attached to each other, peel the backing
paper from “loop” side of the oval shaped hook
& loop fastener. (Fig. 1)
2. Next, align the hook & loop fastener with the
bottom of the monitor stand and press fi rmly to
adhere. (Fig. 2)
3. With the “hook” half of the hook & loop fastener
attached to the “loop” half you just attached to
the monitor, peel off the backing paper. (Fig. 3)
4. Then press the monitor stand fi rmly onto the
area you just cleaned. Adhesive reaches maxi-
mum strength in 24 hours. Moving the fastener
from its original position will weaken the adhe-
sive and may damage the mounting surface.
(Fig. 4)
NOTE: Use the rectangular hook & loop fastener
to mount the monitor without the stand.
To maximize the effectiveness of the hook & loop
fastener, it is recommended that the application
be performed under the following conditions:
Surface temperature should be between 21℃
and 38℃ (70℉ and 100℉).
Application below 10℃ (50℉) 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.

Air Vent Clip
1. Insert the square end of the vent clip into
the slot on the back of the monitor. Slide
the clip upwards until secure. You are now
ready to attach the monitor to an air vent.
2. Insert the fi ngers of the vent clip into the
vehicle’s air vent clip until it’s secure.
Power Cable with 12 Volt Cigarette Lighter Adaptor
1. Insert the small 12 Volt DC plug of the power cable into
the left side of the monitor.
2. Plug the 12 Volt cigarette lighter adaptor into the vehi-
cle’s cigarette lighter socket.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor ON.
MONITOR POWER CONNECTION
There are two ways to supply the monitor with power, one uses a 12 Volt cigarette
lighter adaptor plugged into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket, and the other
uses a wiring harness hard-wired (wired directly) to the vehicle’s fuse box.
Hard-Wired to the Fuse Box
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the vehicle’s negative battery terminal.
2. Connect the Red wire to the 12 Volt +/ACC terminal in the vehicle’s fuse box. See
vehicle’s owner’s manual for fuse box diagram.
3. The ground cable must be located on an area of metal on the vehicle’s body/fi re-
wall that does not have any vehicle components behind it. Sand off any paint to
reveal bare metal, this area will be your chassis ground.
4. Drill a pilot hole for the supplied self-tapping sheet metal screw. Make sure there
are no vehicle components behind where you are drilling the hole.
5. Strip the insulation from the end of the black wire 1.3 cm and wrap the wire around
the self-tapping sheet metal screw before tightening.
6. Re-connect the negative battery cable.
7. Plug the power cord into the monitor, use the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor ON & OFF.
