• Thank you for purchasing this Clarion product.
• Please fully read this Installation/Owner’s Manual before operating this equipment.
• In accordance with FCC Rules and Regulations, Title 47, Part 15, Subpart C, this Clarion wireless
local area network (WLAN) camera systems may experience momentary signal interruption due
to RF interference and/or environmental surroundings. If continued interruption occurs, please
check and/or adjust the antenna on the camera and receiver.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using this system, follow the precautions listed below.
WARNING
● This device is a rear view camera intended for vehicle installation. Do not use it in any way other than its
intended use.
Doing so may result in smoke, fire, electric shock or injury.
● Drive slowly while reversing.
● Do not disassemble and/or modify the device.
Doing so may result in accident, fire, electric shock or malfunction.
● Do not damage the camera cable.
Moisture or water may get inside the camera through the damaged part, possibly resulting in a malfunction or fire.
● Never use the parts that are critical to the vehicle's safety* for mounting or grounding the device.
* Nuts and bolts in the steering system, seat rails, brake system, fuel tank, etc.
Doing so may result in loss of control, fire or traffic accident.
● Never drive looking solely at the monitor.
This is an auxiliary device to supplement the driver's rear field of vision; it does not show all hazards or obstacles.
Actual distances and perceptions may differ and video images may be delayed, so be sure to visually check safety
while driving. Failure to do so creates the risk of hitting a person or object in the camera's blind spot, causing a serious
accident.
● Do not use the device in a malfunctioning or abnormal state.
If no image is displayed, smoke is emitted or there is a strange smell, stop using the device immediately.
Continued use may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
● Do not allow any water or foreign objects to get inside the device.
If a foreign object or water gets inside the device, smoke or a strange smell is produced, or any other abnormality
occurs, stop using the device immediately and consult the dealer where it was purchased. Continued use may result in
an accident, fire or electric shock.
● Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before connecting the cables.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to short-circuit.
● Route the cables to avoid high-temperature areas.
The covering of the cables may melt, causing a short-circuit and resulting in an accident or fire. Pay particular attention
when routing the cables inside the engine compartment.
● Mounting and removal of the device should be performed by a professional service technician.
Failure to do so may result in an accident or fire. Contact the dealer where the device was purchased.
● After installing and connecting the device, check operation of the vehicle's electrical components*.
* Brakes, lights, horn, hazard lamps, blinkers, etc.
Malfunction may result in fire, electric shock or traffic accident.
● If mounting of the device requires making a hole in the chassis, check the position of the pipes, tanks,
electrical wires, etc. and be sure to avoid interference or contact.
Damage to the pipes etc. may lead to fire or malfunction.
● Route the cables and bundle them so that they do not interfere with driving operation.
If a cable coils round the steering column, gear lever, brake pedals, etc., it may lead to an accident.
● Use the device on a DC12V negative earth vehicle.
The device must not be used on a DC24V vehicle. Doing so may result in fire or malfunction.
● When connecting the cables to a vehicle equipped with air bags, do not route the cables where they will affect
operation of the air bag system.
If the air bags do not work properly, it may result in an accident or injury.
● Keep screws and other small parts out of the reach of small children.
Small parts may be swallowed accidentally. If there is any suspicion that this may have happened, seek medical
advice immediately.
CAUTION
● The receiver is designed to be installed inside the vehicle's cabin. Do not install it in areas where it can get
wet.
Doing so may result in smoke, fire, electric shock or injury.
● Do not subject the receiver to strong impact such as dropping it or hitting it.
This receiver utilizes precision electronic parts. Subjecting it to strong impact may result in malfunction or damage,
leading to fire or electric shock.
● Remove the camera from the vehicle before using an automatic car wash (high pressure water).
Failure to do so may result in the camera becoming detached or getting damaged. If water gets inside the camera, it
may result in fire, electric shock or malfunction.
● Check the mounting screws occasionally and tighten any that have come loose.
If the screws are loose, the device may become detached and fall off, hitting a passer-by and causing an accident.
● Follow the instructions in the manual when mounting and connecting the camera and receiver.
Incorrect connection may result in fire or accident.
● After mounting the camera and receiver, check that the monitor image is a mirror image.
Incorrect setup may mean that the monitor image is not horizontally flipped, resulting in accident.
● The rear-view monitor image has the same right-left inversion as your vehicle's rearview mirrors. Depending
on the vehicle, the field and angle of view may differ.
● Be sure to use the supplied accessories and specified components.
Using components other than those specified may lead to damage of the parts inside the device or the inability to
secure them firmly, resulting in them becoming detached and leading to an accident or malfunction.
● After connecting the cables, secure them with clamps or insulating tape.
If the cables come into contact with the chassis, they will fray and short-circuit, leading to an accident or fire.
● If a hole is made in the chassis to route the cables, use protective tubing or insulating grommet.
If the cables come into contact with the openings, they will fray and short-circuit, leading to an accident or fire.
● If a hole is made in the chassis to mount the device or route the cables, seal the gap in the hole and the gap
between the hole and the cable with silicon adhesive or similar.
If exhaust gas or water gets inside the vehicle through the gap, it may result in an accident.
● Route the cables so that they do not get caught in the chassis, screws, seat rails or other moving parts.
Damaged or short-circuited cables may result in an accident, electric shock or fire.
● When mounting the camera on the vehicle, make sure that it does not protrude from the side or front/rear end
of the vehicle.
A protruding camera may hit a passer-by and cause an accident.
● If the screws in the chassis are used to mount the device, be sure to tighten them securely.
Loose screws may result in an accident or malfunction.
● Check the effect on medical electrical equipment.
This device is equipped with a wireless function.
If you use a cardiac pacemaker or other medical electronic device, be sure to check with the manufacturer or retailer
of the medical electrical device concerning the effect of radio waves.
Disclaimer
● This product is intended to improve blind spot viewing while operating the vehicle and promoting safe
driving.

wireless camera systems may experience image jump or/and video signal loss. When video signal loss
occurs, the following caution screen is displayed or sometimes black screen will be interrupt to inform drivers
that the radio wave environment is not in good condition.
● Clarion is not liable under any circumstances for the following.
• Incidental, special, or consequential damage or loss that occurs directly or indirectly to this wireless camera system.
• Inconveniences, damages and/or losses (including those due to the user’s improper use or incaution) caused by the
inability to view the camera image due to reasons/causes including the malfunctioning/defect of this wireless camera
system.
