Improper use of this system could lead to a serious accident. Read this 
entire Operating Manual/Installation Guide before operating the Bendix
 
BackSpotter

 system. Pay particular attention to the safety messages below. 
This manual should be used in conjunction with proper training.
Limitations of Collision Warning Systems
The Bendix
 BackSpotter
®
 rear collision warning system is intended solely as an 
aid for an alert and conscientious professional driver. It is not to be used or relied 
upon to operate a vehicle. The system should be used in conjunction with rear view 
mirrors and other instrumentation to maintain safe operation of  the vehicle, ground 
personnel, and adjacent property. A vehicle equipped with the Bendix
 BackSpotter
®
 
system should be operated in the same safe manner as if  the system were not 
installed. The system is not a substitute for normal safe driving procedures. It will 
not compensate for any driver impairment, such as drugs, alcohol, or fatigue. Should 
the system become inoperative, it could jeopardize the safety or lives of  those who 
depend on the system for safety.
The system will not sense objects if the sensor view is obstructed. Therefore, 
do not place objects in front of the system sensor. Remove heavy buildups of 
mud, dirt, ice, and other materials.
Proper alignment is critical to correct operation of the system.
Testing and inspection of the system in accordance with these instructions 
and record of the results should be listed on the daily maintenance report. 
The units on operating vehicles must be tested each day (see the “Testing 
and Maintenance” section) prior to the vehicle’s operation. Results of this test 
must be recorded in the maintenance log.
People operating this equipment MUST check for proper operation at the 
beginning of every shift or safety inspection period.
