Installing the Transmitter Before you permanently install the transmitter, you must test the installation location for correct operation (Testing the Camera and Transmitter Location, page 4). 1 Secure the transmitter to the installation location using hardware appropriate for the location, such as screws, bolts, or cable ties. 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. 2 Connect the camera and transmitter cables. 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. 3 Connect the power cable from the transmitter to a 12 to 24 VDC power source, preferably a reverse lamp , using the included solderless wire-splice connector. NOTE: Connecting the transmitter to an always-on 12 to 24 VDC source, such as a running lamp, instead of a reverse lamp requires you to manually switch power to the transmitter. The transmitter may drain your vehicle battery if it is left on. The included solderless wire-splice connectors are compatible with wire gauges from 16 to 22 AWG. If your vehicle wires are outside this range, you must use other connectors. 4 If you did not use the included solderless wire-splice connector, solder and heat-shrink the electrical connections to protect them from the elements. 7
