How to use the Control Buttons:

AUTO BUTTON – When the receiver is set to AUTO

Mode, it will continuously switch between the cameras
that are set to ON. The dwell time is set to 4 seconds per
camera (by default), however this can be adjusted to 2~30
seconds. To adjust the dwell time, press and hold both
the AUTO and MANUAL buttons at the same time – this
will produce beeps indicating one second increments (i.e.
each beep represents one second in dwell time). Once the
desired dwell time has been reached, release the buttons.

MANUAL BUTTON – Press the MANUAL button to

switch between available cameras. The Receiver will
switch to a different camera (if available and configured)
each time the MANUAL button is pressed.

* Number of cameras may vary by model. Check your
package for specific content information.
* Connect power adaptor to local AC power outlet
* 1 of each provided with the LW1001 System/ 2 of each

Connect one end of the AV Cable to the back
of the receiver. Connect the other end to the

Step 1 - Wireless Receiver Set-up Installation

Plug the Receiver power cable into the
9V POWER input. Plug the power adaptor
into a wall outlet or surge protector.

Place the receiver in a place that will have
clear reception to your camera(s). Try to
avoid placing the receiver near other 900MHz
devices (such as older cordless phones, etc.)

Helpful Tips:

• Use of other 900MHz products (including older model cordless phones) may
cause interference with the picture quality. Try changing the channels on
the Receiver and Camera, or moving the interfering device to another area.

• Better reception can often be accomplished by changing the position of the
Receiver unit -or-changing the position of the Camera.

• The Receiver is a wireless product, and is subject to a number of
environmental conditions. Walking between the receiver and camera may
cause temporary interference.

• The optimal distance of the camera (during low light / nighttime use) from
the person or object is 4~6 feet (up to 2 meters). The picture may become
grainy beyond this distance due to lack of light –an additional light source
in the room, such as a night light or illuminator may improve the picture
quality.

• During low light / night use, the closer the Receiver is to the Camera, the
better the picture quality. The picture may become grainy at farther
distances. The optimal distance for normal home use is 15~60 feet (3~18
meters), however the MAXIMUM RANGE is up to 300feet in optimal
conditions.

• Audio feedback may appear when the receiver and cameras are too close
(under 15 feet / 3 meters).

NOTE: Before you install the camera(s),

carefully plan where and how it will be

positioned, and where you will route

the cable that connects the camera to

the power adaptor or battery adaptor.
Before starting permanent installation,
verify its performance by observing the

image on a monitor. When camera is
positioned in same location/position

where it will be permanently installed.

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 the battery adaptor is intended as a

temporary power solution.
