Procedure

Follow this procedure to configure the remote control:

1. Turn on the camera and the remote control.

2. Insert an USB-WLAN micro adapter into the USB connector on the camera.

3. Connect the remote control to the camera using a USB cable. Use the (large)

USB-A connector on the remote control and the (small) USB-Mini-B connector on the camera.

4. Wait until a confirmation message appears on the remote control that the configuration was successful. If no confirmation message appears, remove the USB cable from the camera and repeat Steps 1–3.

5. Remove the USB cable from the remote control and insert an USB-WLAN micro adapter into the USB connector on the remote control.

Note

• You must configure the remote control for each new camera.

• The remote control is not intended to be used at temperatures below 0°C (32°F).

Using the remote control at lower temperatures can affect WLAN video streaming.

• The operating range using WLAN is approximately 15 m (49 ft.).

• If you experience transmission or interference problems, you can change the

WLAN setting in the camera. See the camera manual for more information about this.

• The remote control has a significantly lower frame rate than the camera. However,

the images are still saved with the same high quality as when saved them the camera.

• Using the remote control, you can only access a subset of the functions in the

camera. To access the functions that are not supported by the remote control, you will need to use the camera.
