z Ensure that the installation location of the camera is sufficiently firm (e.g. to prevent
the camera from being knocked down by branches that may brush over the roof of the
vehicle).
z Always use the supplied insulation pad (fig. 3 3, page 3). This prevents residual cur-
rent caused by a poor earth connections in the vehicle. Residual current can cause
lines of interference in the picture or humming in the loudspeakers or even damage
components.
z Observe the fastening instructions:
– There must be sufficient space behind the chosen installation location to be able
to carry out the mounting procedure.
– Suitable measures must be taken to prevent water penetrating through any holes
made (e.g. by using screws and sealant and/or spraying the outer attachment
parts with a sealant).
– The location on the body where you wish to attach the camera must be rigid
enough to allow the camera to be tightly fastened.
z Check beforehand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to
come out (fig. 1, page 3).
z If you are not sure about the location you have chosen, ask your vehicle manufacturer
or dealer.

Note
We recommend greasing the threads of the bolts to prevent corrosion.
To perform the installation, proceed as follows:
➤ Hold the bottom camera holder on the chosen location and mark two points for the
drill holes (fig. 6, page 5).
➤ Using a hammer and centre punch, gently pre-punch the previously marked points to
prevent the drill head from slipping off.
If you want to screw on the bottom camera holder with self-tapping screws
a
Caution!
The holder may only be attached to steel panels with a minimum thickness of
1.5 mm using self-tapping screws.
➤ Drill Ø 2 mm holes at the points you have just marked.
➤ Deburr all drill holes and apply rust-protection.
➤ Place the insulating plate (fig. 3 5, page 3) where the bottom camera holder is to be
fitted.
The insulation plate serves as a seal and protects the paint.
➤ Screw on the camera holder using the self-tapping screws.
