How do you bring the power cable into the box? How did the other reviewers do it? Thanks

I just drilled a hole on the bottom lip of the housing, just big enough for the connector to make it through. Then you can seal with a rubber grommet, silicone or even plumbers putty. Works good and I ran two types of connectors in so i can change between gps and cell phone.

So I came through a grommet on the left side of the fairing. Their was an extra power lead on the headlights under the fairing. I used that for switched power

Drill / make a square slot to pass through the "devise" plug. Screw the mount to bix placing a seal.

I found that plugging the unit into a power strip on the same outlet as the cable box was a problem. A different electrical outlet solved the issue.

You CAN power it up via the USB Port OR the external Power Adapter. Using the external Power Adapter allows the plugged in( tested or augmenting) hard drive to operate more efficiently, It's another step but worth the small effort. Product support recommend connecting it that way... so that's what I did. If you do likewise you should connect the Power Adapter BEFORE connecting the USB Cable.

Hi Gayle - Turn the entire unit until it lines up with the box...drop it in ---seal it and return it to Amazon!!! Order A FOFA XD and walk away its a great unit from Amazon and you don't need power tools to change the battery. Best Regards, Tim S.

If I remember correctly,unscrew the box(there are some rubber pieces just remove the one ) and just lay the cord(different sizes) on the spiked connection.Then just screw back down.I hope this helps. If not I can search and see if I have a copy.

Hi Ken, mine came with a black braided power connector. 1) Match-up the white end of the cable to the white slot at the end of the unit; 2) Connect the 4-pin molex end of the same braided cable to a molex connector from your PSU [power supply]; 3) Now connect the braided USB 2.0 cable to the device and your motherboard. Power up your system and you're good to go...you can also daisy chain them...I'd be lost without the 2 I have.Hope this helped.~Programming Kat

You have to slide the USB power adapter apart and slide the power cord into the large section of the USB power adapter. The small section of the USB adapter (the metal prongs) is not used.

1st, i'm not an electician. i tried running it into the top was very difficult to get the "outlet" back in the box once wired cause the heavy gauge wire has to do a 180 turn in the box. I changed it to feed in from the bottom, wire the box 1st, tighten and re-tighten the wire connections several times cause they loosen, put the outlet in the box. Then you have the slack wire taken out of the box and then have it hooked up to the service panel.

The socket is on the end of a short cable tucked up under the battery/camera box. Just lift an edge of the black plastic cover and you'll see it and can pull it out. I have no idea why they package it that way ... it confused me too.

We just direct wired it into the 12 volt system and eliminated the power box converter. Just cut the wire off the box and direct wired it into a FUSED CONNECTION. Make sure you fuse protect it. Try 10-15 amps if that doesn't hold then go to 20 amps. Mine works just fine. Powers right up and finds the birds in less than 3-4 minutes. Much better that that Tailgater mess

Stick a small screw driver in the slot between the head and cable to hold the cable in place. Then unscrew the head off the threaded cable bolt

Attach the power cord into the camera. Plug the other end into a power outlet. Very easy. It's a great camera! I love it!

I had a similar issue. One side of mine had lost all power. When I took it out, the power cable came unplugged. Plugged it back in and it worked great.

YES. Just open the box, and remove the lower plate which houses the 1 - 4 or 6 lines. On the left hand side, is a about 1.5 inch square black cover. Remove the single small screw and inside are two metal clamps that hold the electrical cord. Remove all four screws, and undo the cord from the box. Now you are ready to bring in the hard wires through the opening at the bottom of the unit. You may need to take an Ex-Sto and cut the hold larger. The same can be do for the lines to the system.Hopefully, this helps. If you have any more problems or questions, please email me at saddlebrookepopups@q.com. YES.
