SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS- This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for Model BT532755.
Before using the product, read all instructions and cautionary markings.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the product manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Do not disassemble the Wireless Backup Camera; take it to a qualified serviceperson when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

WARNING: A failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions may result in a serious accident, including damaged property or a serious injury, including loss of life.

The Wireless Backup Camera is designed as an aid to the driver in detecting large stationary objects to help avoid damaging the vehicle. However, you, the driver, must use it safely and properly. Use of the Wireless Backup Camera is not a substitute for safe, proper and legal driving.
Never back up while looking only at the screen. You should always check behind and around the vehicle when backing up just as you would if the vehicle did not have the Wireless Backup Camera. Always make sure your intended path is clear. If you back up while looking only at the APP screen, you may hit a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, child, pet, or other object resulting in injury or death. Always back up slowly.
Never depend on the Wireless Backup Camera entirely when backing up. The image on the screen is different from the actual conditions. Objects viewed in the APP screen differ from the actual distance because a wide-angle lens is used. Objects in the APP screen will appear visually opposite to when viewed in the rearview and outside mirrors. Use the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder to properly judge distances to other objects.
The area displayed by the Wireless Backup Camera is limited. The Wireless Backup Camera does not display objects that are close to or below the bumper, underneath the vehicle or objects out of the Camera’s field of view. The area displayed on the screen may vary according to vehicle orientation or road conditions. Be sure to check the Camera’s position and mounting angle before each use.
Make sure the trunk, hatch, or backdoor is completely and securely closed when backing up.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle of the Wireless Backup Camera may change.
When washing the vehicle with high-pressure water, be sure not to spray it around the Wireless Backup Camera. Otherwise, water may enter the Camera unit causing water condensation on the lens, a malfunction, fire or an electric shock.
Do not strike the Wireless Backup Camera. It is a precision instrument. Otherwise, it may malfunction or cause damage resulting in a fire or an electric shock.
This product will only provide images of items that are within the field of view of the Wireless Backup Camera. Thus, it is imperative that the Wireless Backup Camera should be kept clean and unobstructed, and should be mounted so that its field of view includes the entire area behind your vehicle.
Adhere to all applicable traffic laws and motor vehicle regulations applicable to the device.
Consult local laws and regulations for any restrictions on installation or use.
Never allow children to play with the device. Small parts may be a choking hazard.
There is a plastic cover over the Wireless Backup Camera. Do not scratch the cover when cleaning dirt or snow from the cover.
The Wireless Backup Camera has a water-resistant construction. Do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation. The wireless Backup Camera is waterproof.
Do not submerge the Wireless Backup Camera in water, which can cause internal damage to the Camera.
If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally. The Digital Camera can withstand the effects of rain, snow, and inclement weather.
When strong light directly enters a camera, objects may not be displayed clearly.
The screen may flicker under fluorescent light.
The colors of objects on the APP screen may differ somewhat from those of the actual object.
If dirt, rain, or snow attaches to the Camera, the APP screen may not clearly display objects. If water droplets, snow or mud adhere to the Camera lens, rinse with water and wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, or thinner to clean the Camera. This will cause discoloration. To clean the Camera, wipe with a clean cloth dampened with mild cleaner diluted with water and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Will work up to 33 feet.
ALWAYS engage the Parking/Emergency/Hand Brakes of the vehicle when testing the system.

SAFETY AROUND AND BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES
Using a Wireless Backup Camera is not enough to completely overcome a vehicle’s blind spot. Many preventable injuries and deaths occur in driveways or parking lots when drivers do not see children, pets, or others near their vehicles. Here are a few safety tips that will help you to avoid a back-over accident:

Walk completely around your vehicle before getting in. Check for kids, toys, and pets before entering the vehicle and starting the engine.
Know where children are. Have children stand in a place where they are in full view.
Be aware of young children. Young children are small and hard to see.
Parents, caregivers and all adults need to be vigilant in supervising children, especially when children are in the yard, driveway or parking lot playing near parked cars.
Roll down your window so you will be able to hear what is happening outside your vehicle.
Owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans need to take extra care to avoid hitting or running over a child.
Teach children to move away from a vehicle whenever it is started.
