Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack 2.4 GHz Wireless Surveillance System. This syst em adds safety and security to your home or business. It can be used as a component of an audio/video obs erv ati on sy ste m, or expanded by adding up to three additional wireless cameras. The audio/video jacks let you connect to a VCR for recording purposes. In you r home, you can observe y our baby’s room, backyard, or patio area at night or in minimal lighting. In your business, monitor low-light store-rooms, warehouses, entry/exit-ways, or a reception area from one central location.

Before setting up or operating your system, please read all these safety and operating instructions completely. Retain instructions for future reference.
To avoid entanglement, never place the camera in a crib or playpen.
Do not place or mount the camera on any surface or wall where the camera and its AC adapter cord are within the reach of a baby or other children.
Never use the camera or monitor near water. For example, do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, laundry tub, kitchen sink, aquarium, or in a wet basement.
Disconnect the AC adapters from wall outlets during long periods of non-use.
Position the camera, monitor and AC adapters to allow adequate ventilation.
Keep the camera out of direct sunlight. To prevent overheating, keep the camera, monitor and AC
adapters away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) which produce heat.

Both camera and monitor are battery powered so they can work during a power failure. To activate the battery power, you must disconnec t the AC ad apt ers from bot h the ca me ra and monitor. For optimum performance, we recommend alkaline batteries (available at your local RadioShack st ore). The battery power lasts eight hours for the camera and 2.5 hours for the monitor.

This system broadcasts its high-quality audio and video using directional antennas, which must be oriented in certain configurations for best results. The 2.4 GHz antennas have been designed to pivot and have limited rotation in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions.
In most situations, the curved side of the antennas on both the camera and monitor should face toward one another. Since all rooms are different, for optimal reception, additional slight pivots or rotations might be necessary. If the camera and monitor are less than 10 feet (3 meters) apart, keep the antennas flat in their casings.

Your camera and monitor mig ht cause int erference on other radio/TV devices eve n when t hey are operati ng properl y. To determine whether your camera or monitor is causing the interference, turn them both off. If the interference goes away, your surveillance system is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your camera or monitor away from the other device.
• Connecting your camera or monitor to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the other device.
• Contactin g your local RadioShack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not ca us e harm fu l int erfe renc e, an d (2) this device m ust a ccept any interfe rence receiv ed, i nclud ing interference that may cause undesired operation.

Keep the camera and monitor dry; if they get wet, w ipe them dry immediately. Use and store the camera and monitor only in normal temperature environments. Handle them carefully; do not drop them. Keep the camera and monitor away from dust and dirt, and wipe them with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them looking new.
