Today, we’re going to show you how to install the BC™ 40 Wireless Camera on
a Side by Side and pair it with your Garmin Tread™
Garmin strongly recommends having an experienced installer with the
proper knowledge of installations and waterproofing install the mount
Incorrectly installing the mount can result in damage to the vehicle or the camera
Failure to heed the installation considerations
could result in damage to the camera or the vehicle
Garmin is not responsible for any damage caused to the camera or vehicle during
installation or as a result of the camera mount detaching from the vehicle
You can install the BC™ 40 on a surface in your vehicle with the included screws,
or on a roll bar using the included zip ties
The included mounting screws are intended for installation only
in vehicles with a fiberglass or plastic interior
The mounting screws should not be used for vehicles
with an aluminum exterior or any other material
See your owner’s manual for instructions to
install the BC™ 40 on a surface in your vehicle using screws
For this video, we will be installing the BC™ 40 mount on a vehicle roll bar using zip ties
To begin, use the included zip ties to secure
the mount to a roll bar using any of the slots on the mount
Then, tighten the zip ties to ensure the mount does not move during use
Next, we will install the batteries
The BC™ 40 operates on two 1.5 volt AA batteries
These are not included
Use lithium batteries for the best results
Lithium batteries provide extended battery life and better performance at low temperatures
Do not use AA batteries with a voltage specification higher than 1.5 Volts
Higher voltages will cause permanent damage to the camera
Do not use lithium-ion rechargeable AA battery cells
Lithium-ion batteries use a different technology
than non-rechargeable lithium batteries and may permanently damage the camera
To begin, rotate both battery covers toward the front of the camera and remove the battery covers
Then, insert a AA battery into each end of the
camera with the positive pole facing out towards the cover
On each battery cover, verify the gasket is clean and fully seated in the groove
Press the cap tightly and rotate it toward the back of the camera to lock it into place
The camera is not water resistant if the gaskets are not clean and properly seated,
or if the covers are not properly locked into place
Verify each cover is fully sealed and no part
of either red gasket is showing between the cover and the camera
Next, we will install the camera into the mount
Place one side of the camera into the mount, with the lens facing outward
Then, press the other side into the mount until it clicks
Pull gently on the camera to verify both sides are locked into the mount
The camera can be rotated for more versatile mounting and field of view options
Once the BC™ 40 is installed, we can pair the camera with the Garmin Tread™
Ensure the software on your Garmin Tread™ is up to date before starting this process
The BC™ 40 will enter pairing mode automatically once the batteries are installed
This will be indicated by the LED flashing blue
The camera will remain in pairing mode for two minutes
You can remove and reinsert the batteries if pairing mode expires
Make sure your Garmin Tread™ is within five feet of the camera
Then, turn on your Garmin Tread™
To begin, select “Settings”
Then, select “Wireless Camera”
Followed by “OK”
Select “Add New Camera”
You may need to remove and reinstall the batteries to
put the BC™ 40 camera in pairing mode if the LED is no longer flashing blue
Then, select “OK”
And that’s it!
