the screen. Also, the images shown by the
rearview camera are reversed,
so
as to appear the
same
as
what is seen
through
the
rearview mirror.

co
l
ou
r
or
shape,
or
from deteriorating, wipe with a chemical-
free, damp cloth.
Do
not use
an
automatic car wash or high-pressure washer.
Doing
so could cause the ca
mer
a to
come
off, damage to the
device cord,
or
may allow water to enter the camera
or
the inside
of
the car.
In some cases, to attach the device, a hole must be drilled in the
car body, requiring use
of
touch-
up
paint (retail product) for
rust-prevention, and should be prepared beforehand.
Be
sure to disconnect the cable from the
(-)
battery post before
installing your HCE-C2100RD/HCE-C
26
