Prior to operating the machine, ensure proper orientation of images by the camera or cameras. The cameras have been set up by the factory or by a Cat dealer to provide views which comply with the documented guidelines. Consult your Cat dealer before any adjustments are made to the cameras.
Note: Rear facing cameras should always be set to the mirror image configuration.
Upon power up of the monitor, the following will appear in the upper left-hand corner: "REAR1 M". The monitor may switch from C1 to C2. The switch to C2 can occur when the tractor is in reverse, regardless of whether the tractor has either one or two cameras. If the monitor switches from C1 to C2, the following will appear in the upper left-hand corner: "CHNL 2 M". If "CHNL 2" is displayed instead of "CHNL 2 M", contact the technical communicator at the Cat dealership for proper adjustments to the monitor.
Prior to operating the machine, ensure that the features of the display are properly adjusted. Ensure that the brightness and the contrast are adjusted prior to operating the machine. Ensure that the brightness and the contrast are adjusted after changes in the conditions for ambient light.
Prior to operating the machine, ensure that the display is positioned in order to provide clear visibility of the display from the operator seat. Do not position the display in a way that will cause the following conditions:
- Cover any safety messages or other important information.
- Impede the entry to the cab or impede the exit from the cab.
- Obstruct the visibility of the operator.
- Obstruct the view of any indicators, gauges, or monitoring system.
- Impair access to any operator controls or impair movement of any operator controls.
Prior to operating the machine, ensure that the camera lens and the display are clean.
