and 30 seconds, whether or not your vehicle has moved
forward.
Switching Cameras
You can cycle through the video feeds from all paired cameras.
From the camera view, select .
The video feed from the next camera appears, and the
camera name appears at the top of the screen.
Adjusting the Camera Angle
You can adjust the camera angle up and down to provide the
best view for your vehicle.
1
Drive to a level area with a clear view behind the vehicle.
2
Remove the camera from the mount (Removing the Camera
from the Mount, page 6).
3
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two adjustment
screws .
4
Tilt the mount up or down.
For most vehicles, the camera should face straight out or
slightly downward.
5
Tighten the adjustment screws to lock the mount in the new
position.
6
Install the camera into the mount.
7
View the camera using your Garmin navigation device
(Viewing the Backup Camera, page 5), and verify the camera
angle.
When the camera is angled correctly, the bottom edge of the
video frame should align with the rearmost part of the vehicle,
such as the bumper or trailer hitch. Objects above the
horizon should appear in the top one-quarter to one-third of
the frame.
8
If necessary, repeat this procedure until the camera angle is
correct.
WARNING
After you adjust the camera angle, you must align the guidance
lines (Aligning the Guidance Lines, page 6). If you previously
set up guidance lines, they are not accurate after the camera
angle changes. Failure to properly align the guidance lines could
result in an accident or collision, resulting in death, serious
injury, or property damage.
Removing the Camera from the Mount
Gently press the tab on one side of the mount outward,
and pull that side of the camera out of the mount.
Backup Camera Settings
Select > Wireless Camera, and select the backup camera
name.
Flip Video: Allows you to flip or mirror the video.
Guidance Lines: Sets preferences for guidance lines displayed
on the camera video.
Rename: Allows you to rename the paired camera.
Set Default Camera: Sets the order in which cameras appear in
the camera view. The camera at the top of the list is the
default camera and appears first each time the camera view
appears.
Unpair: Removes the paired camera.
Automatic Activation: Enables the Garmin navigation device to
display the default camera view automatically each time the
navigation device is turned on. If the navigation device is
connected to an ignition-switched power outlet, this feature
allows you to view the backup camera automatically when
you start your vehicle.
Video Resolution: Allows you to set the quality of the camera
video. Higher resolution settings provide a more detailed
image but use more battery power.
NOTE: This setting is not available for all navigation device
product models.
Showing or Hiding Guidance Lines
You can enable guidance lines if you choose to use your device
as a backup camera.
NOTE: Guidance lines are enabled by default on some
navigation devices.
1
Select > Wireless Camera.
2
Select the paired camera name, and select Guidance Lines
> Show Guidance Lines.
Aligning the Guidance Lines
For the best reference, the guidance lines should be aligned to
reflect the outside edges of the vehicle. You should align the
guidance lines separately for each backup camera. When you
change the camera angle, you should immediately align the
guidance lines again.
1
Position your vehicle with the driver's side closely aligned to a
curb, driveway, or parking stall lines.
TIP: It can be helpful to position the vehicle in the center of a
parking stall, and then pull forward into the next stall. This
allows you to use the parking stall lines at the rear of the
vehicle as reference points for alignment.
2
From the paired Garmin navigation device, select >
Wireless Camera.
3
Select the paired camera name, and select Guidance Lines
> Adjust Guidance Lines.
4
Use the arrows in the corners of the screen to move the ends
of the white, driver's-side guidance line.
The guidance line should appear directly on top of the curb,
driveway, or parking stall line.
