CHARGING CAMERA ASSEMBLY
The Camera under normal use, will maintain a charge with
exposure to sunlight. A battery status indicator is provided
on the monitor when the camera is in use. If you’re storing
your vehicle in a garage for more than a one month, or are
otherwise not exposing the Camera to sunlight on a regular
basis, you may need to recharge it via the Micro USB charge
port.
To recharge the Camera:
1. If attached to vehicle, please remove.
2. Connect the supplied USB cord to the Micro USB port of
the camera assembly.
3. Plug the USB cable into any standard USB charger with an
output rating of 500ma or higher.
4. Charge 4 to 5 hours if the battery was completely depleted
5. Once charged, Re-install the Camera assembly to your
vehicle.
NOTE: It is recommended to fully charge your Camera before
installing on the vehicle.
Tips to optimize the solar charge:
1. Be sure that the solar panels are are clean, and dust/dirtfree.
2. Park in a location where the sun is or will be shining directly
on the solar panels for at least 1-2 hours a day.
3. One hour of good sunlight daily offsets the daily power
consumption of the Camera.
ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION
Notice
Some states or local governments may have regulations or
laws that restrict the use of anything that might impair the

ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION
The camera angle should be adjusted to provide an optimal
view of objects behind the vehicle.
15. Adjust the camera angle as required:
• To adjust the camera angle, tilt the camera to the correct
angle.
• The camera should be adjusted to a horizontal position
relative to the ground, so as to provide optimal view of
objects behind the vehicle.
• Carefully tighten the 2 screws ½ turn to prevent the
camera angle from moving during vibrations from driving.
16. Find a mounting surface inside the vehicle for the monitor
where it can be easily seen, and does not obstruct your
vision when driving.
NOTE: To maximize the effectiveness of the suction mount,
the mounting location surface temperature should be between
50° and 100°F. Avoid application below 50°F.
NOTE: Before permanently mounting the monitor, test the
reception of the camera signal in several selected locations
within easy reach as one may have better reception than
another. If mounting to the dashboard, the dash disk must
be used to ensure a smooth surface for the suction cup to
attach.
ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION

INFORMATION
Battery Icon is on the top left corner of the monitor, and
indicates the relative capacity of the built-in lithium battery
when a video image is present.
Signal strength of the received image is on the top right
corner of the monitor when a video image is present.
The Camera and Video Transmitter:
The Camera / Video transmitter is equipped with the built-in
rechargeable lithium battery and is connected with two solar
panels that trickle charge the built-in lithium battery when
sunlight is available to minimize or eliminate the need for
needing to manually recharge during the year.
A USB charging port is provided to initially charge the battery
prior to mounting on your vehicle as well as to recharge if
needed. Your rechargeable battery when fully charged will
last for several months of average use with NO SUNLIGHT
(avg use is defined as 4~6 times per day). With the addition
of sunlight, the solar cells will charge your battery thereby
extending the cameras ability to provided usage day after day
and month after month without requiring you to recharge it
manually.
