Product Description
This Wireless Backup Camera/Monitor Package is designed to assist the
driver by providing a clear and wide image of the area behind the vehicle
whenever the vehicle is shifted into reverse. Never rely solely on this product
to ensure the area is clear of children and/or obstructions. Use your monitor
and look both ways. This product is not intended to replace existing safety
procedures, but rather to add an additional safety tool for your vehicle.
CAUTION: Do not back up your vehicle while watching the monitor screen.
Always look in the direction the vehicle is traveling. Use the monitor as an aid
to ensure there are no children or obstructions. The image on the monitor is
not designed to show distance and may be misleading. The actual distance is
less than appears in the monitor. The range of the image is limited. Be aware
of blind spots.
