1. Place the receiver cradle or receiver in a place that will have clear reception with your camera(s). 2. Plug the AC adaptor power output cable into the 5V POWER input of the cradle or receiver. Plug the power plug into a wall outlet or surge protector. 3. Leave the receiver to charge for several hours prior to first time use so the built-in rechargeable receiver battery is fully charged. DO NOT remove the power cable from the receiver / from the cradle during initial charge process. After initial charge, charge the receiver as required. 4. If you wish to view the receiver images on a larger screen, connect the included AV cable to the cradle or receiver, and connect the other end of the cable to the Video IN (Yellow) and Audio IN (White) ports on the TV, VCR or other viewing/recording device. NOTE: the purpose of the AV output is for convenience only. When using with large screen TV/Monitor, the picture might be grainy as the camera limits video resolution to VGA (640x480 pixels). This is not a product defect. For best performance use with TV/Monitor PIP (Picture in Picture) function. Check your TV/Monitor product manual to see if this feature is available on your TV/Monitor. This allows you to view TV or other video source and see video from the camera in a small window on the same screen. Wireless Camera Front & Back Controls 1.

Night Vision This camera has built-in IR LEDs, which provides the camera with the ability to view images in no/low light conditions. It is important to use the provided power adaptor (and not the batteries) when using the camera for prolonged periods in low light conditions, as the built-in IR LEDs will drain the battery more quickly than regular daytime use. Camera Installation Before you install the camera, carefully plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor. Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on the receiver when camera is positioned in the same location/position where it will be permanently installed and the receiver is placed in the location where it will be used most of the time. 1. Carefully unpack the camera. NOTE: If you are installing cameras that did not come with the system, please see the pairing camera section of this manual for details on installation. 2. Mount the camera to the wall. Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall, and drill holes and insert 2 screws, then firmly attach the camera to the wall by placing the stand over the installed screws and pushing the base downwards. 5 NOTE: The camera can also be placed on a flat surface, such as a Table or Shelf, and no mounting hardware is required. 3. Adjust the viewing angle of the camera NOTE: You can install additional cameras (maximum of 4 cameras). When adding cameras that were not included in the original box, you will need to pair up the cameras with the receiver. Refer to the camera pairing section of this manual. Installation Warnings Aim the camera(s) to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor, which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source or direct sunlight. Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls, or obstructions between the Cameras and the Receiver. Do not install camera in those area which is easy for baby to touch; Make sure the camera is installed stable and not fall down. Connecting Camera Power The camera can be powered either by using the provided power adaptor, or using batteries (requires 4 AA type batteries, not included). NOTE: Wireless cameras require a power source (either an electrical outlet or battery power) to operate. If you plan to permanently mount the camera in a location, it is recommended to use the included camera power adaptor to prevent interruptions in the image, as using battery power is intended as a temporary power solution. Power Adaptor Connect the power adaptor to the camera. Make sure the power adaptor is placed into a grounded outlet or surge bar to protect the camera from power fluctuations. Battery Pack 1. Remove the battery cover off the base of the camera. 2. Insert 4 AA batteries (not included) into the Battery Pack. Make sure to correctly line up the Positive (+) and negative
(-) terminals of the batteries. 3. Place the battery pack cover back on. NOTE: If the camera is plugged in with the AC adaptor, the batteries will not be used. The batteries are intended for short term, portable camera use only. 6 Viewing Mode 1. Signal Indicator The signal indicator shows the strength of the signal being received from the camera.

Problem Solution No picture from a camera The picture is dropping 1. Check all connections to the camera. Make sure the adaptor is plugged in. 2. Make sure that the cameras and receiver are both ON. 3. Make sure that the camera is in range of the receiver. 4. If using the battery adaptor, try replacing the batteries 1. Move the camera closer to the receiver. 2. Try repositioning the camera, receiver or both to improve the reception. 3. Adjust the monitor antenna to vertical position. 13 Audio problems The picture is or has become choppy The Picture appears to be grainy when using AV out function to view on a large screen TV/Monitor 1. Ensure that the volume on the TV is on. 2. Make sure that there is sound within range of the camera microphone 3. If the unit emits a loud screeching noise (feedback), move the camera or receiver farther apart. The picture may become choppy when experiencing a lower frame rate (i.e. 10 frames per second vs. a higher 20 frames per second). 1. Try moving the camera closer to the receiver. 2. Remove obstructions between the receiver and camera. 3. Adjust the monitor antenna to vertical position. The purpose of the AV output is for convenience only. When using with large screen TV/Monitor, the picture might be grainy as the camera limits video resolution to VGA (640x480 pixels). This is not a product defect. 1.
