You should use an automotive relay whenconnecting the transmitter and camera to a power source thatdoes not provide constant voltage.• Although the transmitter can transmit the video signalapproximately 13.5 m (45 ft.), the location of the transmittercan affect this range.◦ The closer you install the transmitter to the receiver, themore reliable the signal.◦ The signal transmits from the flat front and back surfacesÀ of the transmitter. The transmitter provides the bestsignal when either flat surface points toward the receiver.◦ Dense metal or appliances Á in the path of the transmittergreatly reduce the transmission distance.◦ The fewer solid objects that exist between the path of thetransmitter and the device, the more reliable the signal.• If the distance between the camera and the transmitterexceeds the length of the included cable, additional extensioncables can be used. A 15 m (50 ft.) extension cable can bepurchased, and more than one extension cable can beinstalled.
