Precautions
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal before making any wiring connections.
• Be particularly careful where you route wires. Keep them away from the engine,
exhaust system, etc. Heat may damage wires.
• If the fuse should blow, make sure all connections are correct and no wires are
damaged before replacing the fuse. Always use fuses that are the same amperage
value as the original. When replacing a fuse, never let the battery side touch any
metal part or any other wire.
WARNING!
Be sure to disconnect the battery (-) terminal before starting.
This is to prevent short circuits during installation.

Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative (-) lead from the vehicle’s battery.
2. Find a place in the vehicle for the video source(s).
3. Create passage holes for the power and video cables.
When drilling through metal or plastic, use grommets to protect the cables from
sharp edges that could penetrate the insulation and cause a short circuit and device
failure.
4. Connect the ground lead (black) securely to a clean metal plate on the vehicle.
Use sand paper to remove any paint from the surface where you attach the ground
terminal.
5. Reconnect the negative (-) lead to the battery.
