Operating the System

The Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System operates when the
vehicle is shifted into reverse. The Camera transmits a clear and wide
image from the area behind the vehicle to the Monitor inside the vehicle.
The monitor, when powered, remains in sleep mode until it receives a
video signal on the 2.4GHz frequency. When the monitor receives a
video signal, it automatically turns on and displays the image from the
camera.

The monitor automatically adjusts for color, brightness, and contrast,
for either daytime viewing or night time viewing. At night the picture
will look more like a Black & White image; this is due to the low light
level and is normal.

2. Advanced Hard Wire Installation: Audiovox recommends using

a qualified professional for the Hard Wired cable installation.

CAUTION: Insure that all wires are run safely and do not interfere

with Airbags, Safety Devices, or any other equipment.

a)

Choose a source that only has power when the vehicle ignition is
on. Check with a meter or test lamp (can be purchased at an auto

parts store). After determining your power location; turn off the
ignition and disconnect the battery to insure your safety.

b) The Red wire on the Monitor Power Harness is the ignition or +12

volt lead. This must be connected to the power source or fuse box
location that you have chosen to use. Insure the connection is

covered or protected so it can not short circuit.

c) The Black wire on the harness is to be connected to any -12 volt

ground lead or a solid metal location in the vehicle. Also test your
location to insure a good solid ground. Just because it is metal
does not mean it is a good ground.

d) Plug the power plug into the monitor power supply j ack.

After the monitor Installation is complete remove the protective plastic
cover from the panel.

NOTE: When using the Cigarette Lighter Adapter, if the Red Power
Indicator stays on after you turn your ignition key off, you will want to
unplug the adapter to insure that your vehicle battery does not run
down when parked for extended periods of time.

To replace the fuse in the Cigarette lighter adapter, unscrew the tip.
Replace only with the same rating of fuse or damage may incur.
