Transmitter Location and Wiring Considerations NOTICE The transmitter is not intended to be held or worn on your body while it is in use. When selecting a location to install the wireless transmitter, observe these considerations. • You should test a proposed installation location before you permanently install the transmitter. • Some vehicles do not provide constant minimum voltage to the reverse lamps. You should use an automotive relay when connecting the transmitter and camera to a power source that does not provide constant voltage. • Although the transmitter can transmit the video signal approximately 50 ft (15.24 m), the location of the transmitter can affect this range. ◦ The closer you install the transmitter to the device, the more reliable the signal. ◦ The signal transmits from the flat front and back surfaces of the transmitter. The transmitter provides the best signal when either flat surface points toward the receiver. ◦ Dense metal or appliances in the path of the transmitter greatly reduce the transmission distance. ◦ The fewer solid objects that exist between the path of the transmitter and the device, the more reliable the signal. • The fuse holder located near the transmitter is not waterproof. Installing the fuse holder in a location that is exposed to the elements is not recommended. • The connector between the camera and the transmitter is not waterproof. If you make this connection in a location exposed to the elements, you must make sure that the connection is waterproof. • If you are installing the camera on a boat trailer or other location that may be exposed to water, you must waterproof all wiring connections and the fuse holder in the transmitter cable. 3

Transmitter Location and Wiring Considerations
NOTICE
The transmitter is not intended to be held or worn on your body while it is in use.
When selecting a location to install the wireless transmitter, observe these considerations.
•
You should test a proposed installation location before you permanently install the transmitter.
•
Some vehicles do not provide constant minimum voltage to the reverse lamps. You should use an
automotive relay when connecting the transmitter and camera to a power source that does not provide
constant voltage.
•
Although the transmitter can transmit the video signal approximately 50 ft (15.24 m), the location of the
transmitter can affect this range.
◦
The closer you install the transmitter to the device, the more reliable the signal.
◦
The signal transmits from the flat front and back surfaces
of the transmitter. The transmitter provides
the best signal when either flat surface points toward the receiver.
◦
Dense metal or appliances
in the path of the transmitter greatly reduce the transmission distance.
◦
The fewer solid objects that exist between the path of the transmitter and the device, the more reliable the
signal.
•
The fuse holder located near the transmitter is not waterproof. Installing the fuse holder in a location that is
exposed to the elements is not recommended.
•
The connector between the camera and the transmitter is not waterproof. If you make this connection in a
location exposed to the elements, you must make sure that the connection is waterproof.
•
If you are installing the camera on a boat trailer or other location that may be exposed to water, you must
waterproof all wiring connections and the fuse holder in the transmitter cable.
