Final Adjustments

With the GRAFIX and CAM-1000 operational, it is time to make the final adjustments. One of the simplest ways to check
for backup camera alignment is to find a parking lot with drive through front to back parking spaces.
Pull through the parking spaces so that the back bumper of the vehicle is just ahead of the cross stripe between
the two parking spaces
Turn off the vehicle, engage the park brake, turn on the key (not engine) and place transmission in reverse
Observe the video on the GRAFIX
Adjust the CAM-1000 up and down so that the parking lot's 'cross' strip is visible on the bottom of the GRAFIX
display. If needed - 'tweak' the CAM-1000 left and/or right so that the side stripes appear equal on the GRAFIX
display, and are symmetric with the assist lines (if present)
Tighten the CAM-1000 alignment screw with the provided hex wrench
Note: Be sure to remove the protective film from the camera lens
