Setting Up the Equipment

Set Up the Receiver

1. If you are using the receiver as a stand-alone unit, flip out the stand on the back of the receiver
and connect an AC adapter to the power input on the side of the receiver.
If you are using the receiver in the base, insert the receiver into the base and connect an AC
adapter to the input on the back of the base.

2. Connect the other end of the adapter to a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.

The screen remains dark until the cameras are powered up.

Mount the Camera Stand

You can mount the camera with the stand on the bottom (on a wall or table-top) or on the top (on
the ceiling). When you are positioning the camera, you might want to bring the receiver along; it’s
much easier to get the camera into the right position when you have the display handy.

1. Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location of the
screw holes.

2. Use the included screws and anchors to attach the base to the wall or ceiling.

3. Before attaching the camera, tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in place.

Guardian Software Operation Overview

Your receiver’s Guardian software operates through a series of screens that let you choose groups
of operations. For example, when you tap on the camera icon in the Pop-up menus, you can set
how you want the main viewing screen - called the Live screen - to display images from the paired
cameras. You can scan between cameras, show all cameras on a single screen, or only display a
specific camera.

The Live screen lets you view the camera transmissions. It also lets you set up your screen display
and make adjustments to it. Icons on the screen itself let you monitor power and camera status.

with the new one.

ʇ Only pair one camera at a time! The receiver links to the first camera it detects. If two or more

cameras are in pairing mode, you can’t control which camera the receiver will detect first.

ʇ If you have trouble pairing a new camera, refer to the manual that came with the camera or the

receivers.
