HOW TO INSTALL MIRROR MONITOR
Removing the original mirror
CAUTION: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN REMOVING MIRROR
FROM THE WINDSHIELD MOUNT. THE WINDSHIELD BUTTON MAY SEPARATE
FROM THE WINDSHIELD OR THE WINDSHIELD MAY BREAK IF FORCED.
NOTE: There are several versions of mirror mount systems. If unfamiliar with
mirror removal, seek professional assistance.

Wedge mount mirror removal procedure: (Common for screw less mount).
Using a mirror tool or small 1/8" (4 mm) flat-blade screwdriver, insert the
flat end into the opening at the bottom of the mirror mount at the windshield.
Slide the screwdriver into the center of the mirror mount until resistance is
felt.
Gently apply a small amount of additional upward force to lift away locking
spring in the mount.
While still applying upward pressure with the screwdriver, grasp the mirror
bracket and wiggle side to side. Lift mirror up toward the headliner and off
the windshield mount button.
Mirror Installation.
Installation will vary depending on the mounting foot you use for the vehicle.
The mount pre-installed on the mirror is for a standard wedge mount foot. If
you need to use a different foot, change the foot by removing the Philips
head screw in the center of the foot. Attach the required foot to the mounting
arm with the included screw.
NOTE: Check to insure the center screw in the mounting foot is tight before
installation to the windshield. The center screw should be tightened to 15
in-lb. If changing the mount, we recommend using Loctite Threadlocker to
insure the mount will not loosen over time. Install the mirror by reversing the
removal process.
NOTE: Always use caution, DO NOT force the mount. Rostra Precision
Controls, Inc. will not be responsible for broken windshields. If you are not
sure how to remove or re-install the mirror seek trained, qualified help.
HOW TO WIRE ADJUSTABLE GUIDE LINE
The monitor is equipped with adjustable guide lines that should be set
correctly at the time of installation. Generally, these guidelines are used to
help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles when parking. There are
three lines for reference-Red, Yellow and Green. These three lines are
displayed on the monitor when car is in reverse. The lines should be adjusted
so the green line starts approximately 9ft away from the rear of car, the
yellow line starts approximately 6ft away from the rear of car, and the red
line starts approximately 3ft away from the rear of car. The lines should also
