To set up the camera in your trailer
1. Use the clamping base to mount the camera. The clamping
base can be clamped on any pole or board which is less than
2 ¼” in diameter or thick. Choose the mounting spot and
tighten
the clip bolt on the clamping base.
2. Loosen the tilt lock knob, adjust the camera , point it
in the
direction where you wish to monitor, and tighten the tilt
lock knob.
3. Insert a 9V battery. Turn the On/Off switch to the ON
setting.
The camera is set!
To set up the monitor in your pulling vehicles:
1. Mount the goose-neck suction mount to the windshield,
dashboard, or window.
2. Attach the monitor to the goose-neck suction mount.
3. Attach the antenna connector to the monitor.
4. Open the car door and mount the booster antenna (magnet
base)
on the side of your vehicle. Run the wire between the
antenna
and the monitor through the car door and the car frame,
not through the car window and door frame.
5. Plug the power jack into the monitor, and then plug the
12V car
lighter adapter into the lighter jack.
6. Turn the monitor on.
7. Adjust the position of the monitor, the antenna wire, and
the
power wire to avoid interference with the driver.
Best Result tips
For best performance, please consider these few guidelines:
The distance between the monitor and camera:
- Straight line, clear view, no obstacles in between, up to
300 feet.
- When the camera is in the trailer, and the signal needs
to go through
layers of metal and is not in a direct line with the
monitor’s antenna,
up to 60 feet.
A fresh, strong 9V battery to provide adequate power to
transmit the signal.
A single alkaline 9V battery can operate the camera
up to 5 hours during the day or 3 hours in night vision
mode.
The booster antenna is very important. It is the most
common
cause of a lack of image or a distorted image. The best
place to mount
the antenna depends on the type of vehicle:
- SUV: Please mount it on the strip of metal that makes up the
window
frame on the driver or passenger side (on the same side the
camera
is mounted). Put it on the second row passenger side, or
possibly
further back. If this is not available, please mount the
antenna on the
outside of the car above the door handle on the same side
the camera
is mounted. Mount the booster antenna on the same side of
the vehicle where the camera is mounted.
- Pickup Truck: Please mount it on the outside of the cargo
bed, near the
back, on the same side the camera is mounted.
DO NOT MOUNT THE ANTENNA ON THE ROOF.
If the antenna is mounted on the roof, it will pick up and
boost extraneous
signals causing severe interference.
Camera should be mounted between 8 to 15 feet above the
monitored objects.
Turn off the camera while it is not in use.
When not in use for long periods of time, please store the
unit
in a cool, dry place.
