3 ABOUT US Verity does not just buy systems off the shelf overseas, put our logo on them, and ship them out. We work with engineers, some at our location in Mishawaka, Indiana to design camera systems to meet the safety needs of several industries. Where some companies just fall for the latest trend and bring untested safety equipment to the market, we perform the needed testing and often help factories make a better product for which we employ the ODM (original design manufacturing) method. We employ global engineers which help us offer the latest technologies. One step of every project we do is: “How will we defend it in court?” By doing extensive testing, we know our product is the best. We make our products Verity Safe™. Optional IR Extender Control Panel

4 THINK SAFETY FIRST Read our manual before operating or installing the REC02U. Verity products are intended to be installed as a supplement, and our observation systems and/or products are not intended to be a substitute for mirrors or other standard motor vehicle equipment which may be required by law. Verity products promote improving vehicle/driver operations. Our products are no substitute for proper driving techniques, observance of traffic laws, and motor vehicle safety regulations. Installation Location It is unlawful in most locals for any person to drive a motor vehicle equipped with a television viewer/screen located at any point forward of the back of the driver’s seat (or in any location that is visible, directly or indirectly to the driver) while operating the vehicle. Our systems are designed to be used primarily as a rear observation device. DO NOT OPEN ANY COMPONENT. There are no serviceable parts inside any Verity product. Opening the product will break the tamper indicators and void the warranty. If a problem should arise, please contact our technical support 574-807-6004. For faster response, fill out a service ticket found on our website. www.veritysafe.com
