R/C cable operation TheRICcableis 3.relay connecting cable, which allows recording of audio and video to be triggered by an alarm such as the supplied reed switch This function saves recording space as recording only begins after an event such as a door opening or closing. The RlC cable is connected to the receiver and to a video recorder. When the reed switch is triggered at the camera location, ~ R/C cable then trigeer'S the video recorder to begin re<:ording. (For connecting the RJC cable to a video recorder, see the recorder's user manual,) Note: An external alarm (not supplied) can be used as required. Switching audio output The audio terminator forces audio fretn the microphone and alarm to the receiver speaker. The volume control on the tecdver only affects the volume on the receiver and not a.connected TV or other video device. Plug the red audio RCAjaclc from the AV cable into the audio terminator.
