■How to mount the camera with transmitter
•
Never swing the camera by the cable or pull the cable. Doing so may impair the
camera's watertightness or break the cable, resulting in malfunction.
•
Avoid mounting the camera where the lens will be exposed to dirt (mud splashes,
exhaust fumes, etc.).
1. To prevent camera shake, make a hole in a rigid panel and
mount the camera as shown in the fi gure below. If the panel
is not rigid enough, carry out appropriate reinforcement.
2. After connecting the cables, adjust the mounting angle of the
camera so that the rear bumper or back end of the vehicle
appears in the monitor.
● Be sure to use the supplied screws to mount the
camera.
● If any screws are lost when mounting the camera, be
sure to use hexagon head bolts with built-in washer (M3
