FCC WARNING
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with Part 15 of FCC Rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1) Re-orient the TV/radio antenna.
2) Relocate the Receiver away from the TV/radio receiver.
3) Plug the Receiver into a different wall outlet so that the Receiver is on a different
branch circuit.
4) If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communication
Commission helpful: "How to Identify and Resolve TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the US Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, Stock
No. 004-000-00345-4.
FCC NOTICE
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in
portable wireless signaling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and
Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore
limited range. A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and
may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies. Changes
or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance. Infrequently used radio links
should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.

Transmitter:
System Set Up:
1. Select the channel to be used on both the transmitter and receiver (Channel 1-3).
NOTE: Make sure the transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel (1, 2, or 3).
2. Set the selected channel by gently pushing the dip-switch for that channel to the ON
position on both the transmitter and the receiver.
To set both the transmitter and receiver on Channel 1:
(a) Push the Channel 1 dip-switch located on the back of the
transmitter and the bottom of the receiver to the ON position.
(b) Make sure the remaining dip-switches are in the OFF posi-
tion. In this case, channels 2 and 3 should be in the OFF
position.
If more than one transmitter is to be installed and operated at the same time:
Simply follow steps a and b and set the dip-switches for the other channels on the
transmitter and receiver to ON.
For example to operate two transmitter:
set transmitter 1 to Channel 1 (other channels
off), set transmitter 2 to Channel 2 (other
channels off), and on the Receiver,
set channels 1 and 2 to ON.
See “Transmitter and Receiver Setting
Chart” below for more detailed
instructions.
3. Position the transmitter antenna toward the receiver antenna. Rotate/adjust the antennas
on both the transmitter and receiver for best performance.

The Auto-Sequence Feature
The Wireless Audio/Video Monitoring System can be set up to monitor a series of rooms
in a home or office. The receiver can connect up to three transmitter on three different
channels for both Audio/Video reception, and display them in auto sequence. The system
has dip-switches for 3 channels to allow various monitoring options.
When the channel dip-switches are set in the "ON" position, that channel is active on the receiver and can be
seen on the TV or monitor. Channel dip-switches in the
"OFF" position are inactive and will not be shown on the
TV or monitor.
The auto-sequence feature is activated when more than
one channel is switched ON. The channels switched ON
will display on the TV or monitor at three second intervals.
For example, if you have two transmitter, one set to
Channel 1 and and the other set to channel 3 , the dipswitch on the receiver must be set for both channels 1
and 3. Then transmitter one [CH1] and and transmitter two [CH3]
will start to display on TV/monitor in sequence at three
seconds intervals. This interval time is preset by the factory and cannot be adjusted by the user.
To stop the auto-sequence function:
Slide the dip-switch of the channel(s) you do not want
displayed to OFF on both that transmitter and the receiver.
Channels in the OFF position will no longer be displayed.

Rotating the Antennas for Best Performance
This system broadcasts its high-quality audio and video using directional antennas.
The antennas can pivot and have limited rotation in either clockwise or counterclockwise
directions to obtain the best signal and picture clarity.
See the instructions shown below to rotate the antennas. Rotating the antennas
beyond the specified range will result in permanent damage to both antenna and the
mechanical stop. The antenna will not rotate 360 degrees.
Before you rotate the antenna, lift up the antenna first, and rotate the antenna clockwise/counterclockwise no more than one full turn.
In most situations, the flat pitted face of the
antennas on both the camera and receiver should
be facing each other. Since all rooms are different,
additional adjusting of the antennas may be necessary to get optimal performance. If the transmitter
and receiver are less than 10 feet apart, leave the
antennas in the closed (down) position.
