For each component, the next step can only proceed after clear confirmation, with confirmation by the vehicle responsible person and the installation personnel for each operation.
(1) Check for any damage to the vehicle's exterior and interior components.
(2) Check if the vehicle can be started normally.
(3) Check the status of the vehicle's power supply system.
*Note: Confirming the above information is crucial. Installation can only proceed after confirmation of normal conditions. 2.4 Vehicle Power Connection It requires the operation of professional installers. The following mainly describes the method of connecting the vehicle's power supply according to the product's power cable requirements.
(1) Tools required: Multi-meter.
(2) Selection of Power Connection Location When the vehicle is parked and ignition is OFF, use a multi-meter to check if the circuit is powered. If it is positive, it is determined to be a constant power supply, and then measure the voltage. When the vehicle is parked but the ACC is ON or ignited position, use a multi-meter to check if the circuit is powered. If it is negative when ACC is OFF and positive when ACC is ON, it is determined to be the ACC cable, and then measure the voltage.
(3) Voltage Measurement at Power Connection Point Constant Power Supply: With the vehicle is parked and ignition is OFF, use a multi-meter to measure the voltage of the constant power supply cable, which is approximately 24 V or 12 V. If multiple cables have voltages within this range, select the cable with higher current as the constant power supply connection cable. ACC: When the vehicle ACC is in the ON position or ignited state, use a multi-meter to measure if the voltage is 24 V or 12 V. If it is 0 in the OFF state and 24 V or 12 V in the ACC ON position or ignited state, select the cable as the ACC power supply connection cable.
*Note: When connecting the power supply, measure the positive and negative terminals of the power supply first with a multi-meter to avoid errors.

*Note:
(1) Due to the operating temperature range of the device from -20 C to +70 C, the Micro SD card and Micro SIM card should be able to work properly for an extended period in harsh environments. Specifically, the metal contacts on consumer-grade Micro SD cards and Micro SIM cards are prone to oxidation under prolonged exposure to heat, humidity, or salt spray conditions. Frequent insertion and removal of cards can lead to contact wear, and the card slot can experience deformation or bending under constant pressure, resulting in poor contact. Therefore, if you are using a Micro SIM card, for industrial equipment, industrial plastic or ceramic M2M cards (MP2/MP3/
MS1 grade) with a working temperature range of -40 C to 105 C is recommended. If using a Micro SD card, an industrial-grade Micro SD card should be used, which offers strong stability and can be used within a wide temperature range (-40 C to 85 C). For safety purposes, when purchasing the device, it is recommended to use Micro SD cards that have been verified by our company. If you choose to purchase unverified Micro SD cards, there may be a risk of damaging the device, thus affecting its lifespan.
(2) Before installing the Micro SIM card, please check the metal contact surface of the Micro SIM card for any dirt (such as dust, fingerprints, or watermarks). If there is any, use a non-woven cloth or rubber to clean the surface.
(3) When installing the Micro SIM card, avoid touching the metal surface of the Micro SIM card with your hands to prevent contamination from dust and sweat. After installing the Micro SIM card and Micro SD card, tighten the card slot panel and the screws. Once the Micro SIM card and Micro SD card are installed, remove the lens protective film from the front and rear lenses of the device, as shown in the diagram below. 4.2 Choice of Installation Area for the Main Unit The installation area requirements for MC202 are as follows:
(1) The device must be installed in the middle of the windshield. Typically, it is installed in the area above the center line of the windshield, in the vicinity of the rear-view mirror. If it is not possible to install the device in the middle as required, a deviation of less than 5 cm to the left or right is allowed (the deviation of the device relative to the center line of the windshield is calculated using the center line of the front lens).
(2) The lens of the road condition monitoring camera must be within the working range of the left and right windshield wipers (ensuring that the screen of the road condition monitoring lens is clean and free from stains).
(3) It is recommended to avoid installing other electronic devices, including smart rear-view mirrors, electronic tags, etc., around the device, as it may affect the device's positioning signal. The installation position should ensure that the main unit does not obstruct the driver's view of the front blind spot reflector, and there are no obstacles (such as the interior rear-view mirror or glass coating) in front of and around the camera lens in the driver's cabin monitoring view. The general selection of the installation area is shown in the diagram below:
[Diagram: Installation area for the main unit]
4.3 Installation of the main unit 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Clean the inside and outside of the target installation area on the windshield using an alcohol swab. Ensure that there is no dirt or debris on the glass that could obstruct the view of the road condition monitoring lens. Make sure the glass is dry. 3. Remove the protective film from the 3M tape of the mounting base and attach it to the windshield 5. Press device firmly against the windshield for 10 seconds, ensuring that there are no air bubbles between the main unit and the glass. 4.4 Adjustment and Fixation of the device When fix the camera, ensure that the cabin camera screen meets the following conditions:
a) The center of the cabin should be positioned in the middle of the screen. b) The cabin screen should be horizontal. c) The vehicle's steering wheel should be displayed in the lower left/right corner of the screen. The properly adjusted cabin monitoring camera rendering is shown below:
*Note: Only when the device is securely connected to the vehicle, can the device be powered on. If the device is fixed after power connection, it should be powered on again before testing or use. 4.5 Power Connection, Signal Cable, and Cable Connection Connect the power/ACC/GND to the vehicle's power supply line.
*Note: The power line should preferably be connected using "dedicated non-stripping connectors" (no need for stripping, to avoid the risk of electric leakage) and wrapped with insulating tape to prevent electric leakage/short circuit. If there are no special non-stripping connectors available, stripping wires can also be used for the connection. In this case, the connection process must comply with standard specifications. After the connection is completed, wrap it with insulating tape to avoid electric leakage/
short circuit. Requirements for Installation Angle After the device is powered on, adjust it using the mobile app MXtool.
