6: Battery Information
To obtain the maximum battery life and avoid battery leaks, re, or
explosion, observe the following instructions and warnings.
• Please charge the batteries before the rst use of the product.
• If the product is unused for several weeks, the batteries will slowly
discharge by themselves. Recharge the batteries before use.
• It is normal for batteries to heat up while charging or discharging.
• Battery performance is reduced at low temperatures. If cold, allow
the batteries to warm gradually. Do not warm the batteries with a
heater or oven. This could cause the batteries to explode.
• It is normal for batteries to age and exhibit reduced performance
after several hundred charging cycles. If the batteries won’t operate
the product for the stated time (6 hours) or the batteries do not hold
a charge, replace the batteries with equivalent types.
• If the product will not be used for some time, remove the
batteries and store them in a dry location with moderate
temperature and humidity.
Page 11
Page 10
• Do not transport or store the batteries in a metal container or with
other metal objects.
• Do not throw batteries into a re. They may explode.
• Discard old batteries in an approved manner.
Page 12
Page 11
6: Installing and Charging the Batteries
• Refer to the following gures to install the batteries.
Flip the Stand up, pull it up, and twist it around out of the way of the battery cover.
Remove the battery cover, sliding it in the direction of the arrow molded in the plastic .
Install the batteries observing proper polarity. The at end of the battery goes against the coil spring. Notice that the coil springs alternate on the side of the battery compartment. The batteries are installed in ‘zig-zag’ fashion.
Page 13
Page 12
• Plug the charger into the power source (wall outlet) then plug the charger cable into the connector (7) on the side of the product. Observe Indicator LED(2). The LED should light up red and ash twice slowly (as the product tests the batteries) then turn on solidly to indicate the batteries are charging. If the LED begins to ash quickly, there is a problem with the batteries. They may be installed incorrectly, there may be a bad connection, or one or more of the batteries are defective.
• When the red LED turns off the batteries are close to being fully charged. 10 minutes of additional charging time will fully charge the batteries. Usually, the batteries can be fully charged in 1.5 hours or less. It is normal for the batteries to warm up when charging.
• The batteries will not charge if the temperature is too low (below 32 degrees F).
Replace the battery cover and reposi­tion the Stand so it ts into the cover.
Page 14
Page 13
• Do not charge the batteries in a place where the temperature exceeds 140 degrees F. The batteries may be damaged or may explode.
• Fully charged batteries will not charge again until they are depleted. Partially discharged batteries may be recharged at any time.
• The charger is only rated for indoor use.
• The product may be operated while the batteries are charging. In this case, the batteries will take longer to charge than if the product is turned off.
• Emergency Alkaline Battery Use: The product can operate from 4 alkaline AA cells. If the rechargeable batteries are defective, they can be temporarily replaced with AA alkaline batteries. NEVER CONNECT
THE CHARGER TO THE PRODUCT IF IT HAS ALKALINE BATTER­ IES INSTALLED!!! THE BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE AND INJURE THE USER!!!
• For the maximum battery life, disconnect the charger from the product once the batteries are fully charged.

8: General Instructions
Turning the Product On:
After charging the batteries (see Section 7), slide switch (8) to its up-
per position to turn the product on. When operating from batteries, the
LED should light up green.
The CamView W35 continually tests for the presence and type of video
signals applied to its input. A few seconds after the power is turned
on, a CVBS box (Composite Video Baseband Signal) will appear in the
upper left corner of the LCD screen stating whether video is present,
and what the format is. If no video signal is present, the box will say
’CVBS No Signal’. If a recognized video signal is present, the box will
say ’CVBS NTSC’ or ’CVBS PAL’. Additional letters (like M or N) may
be displayed, identifying a particular version of NTSC or PAL. If the
video signal is removed and reapplied, the CVBS box will appear again
for a few seconds as the signal is recognized.
If no video signal is present, the product will enter a power saving Standby mode. The screen will go black. The green LED will remain lit.
If video is present, it will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Page 15
Connecting the Video and Audio Inputs:
A video signal can be connected to the CamView W35 in two places.
For the best durability, the BNC video input jack (11) should be used.
The video input on the side of the W35 (9) uses a mini-plug and is
more easily damaged that the BNC. However, if you need to put audio
into the monitor, the side connector (9) will have to be used with the
provided A/V cable.
Adjusting the Screen Settings:
To adjust the screen settings, a good video signal must be applied
to the monitor. If a video signal is not applied, the OSD (On Screen
Display) cannot be accessed.
With a video signal applied to the monitor, press and release the MENU
key (3). The OSD will appear as shown in the following gure.
Page 17
Page 16
On Screen Display (OSD)
The factory settings are defaulted to “50”. When the settings are
changed, the CamView W35 will remember them, even when the
power is turned off.
To select a specic setting to be altered, observe the location of the
yellow cursor bar and press and release the MENU key (3) repeatedly
until the bar highlights the desired setting.
Then use the “ ”key (4) or “ ”key (5) to change the value of the
setting as desired.
If another setting needs to be changed, again use the MENU key again
to highlight the desired setting, then use the “ ”key (4) or “ ”key (5)
to change the value of the setting as desired.
‘Brightness’, ‘Contrast’, ‘Sharpness’, ‘Volume’, and ‘Language’ (English
or Chinese) are self explanatory. ‘Saturation’ adjusts the amount of
color in the image from ‘Black and White’ to ‘Fully Saturated’. ‘50’ is
the normal setting.
Once everything is adjusted as desired, press and release the MENU
OFF key (6) to turn off the OSD and return to the video display mode.

Using the Wristband:
Refer to the following gures to attach and use the wristband.
With the monitor face down, install the wristband through one slot as shown. The Velcro strips should be facing down.
Put the end of the wristband through the other slot as shown.
Pull the wristband completely through the slots until the metal buckle is against the rst slot.

Using the Mounting Thread:
Attach the monitor to a tripod or mounting bracket (not supplied) as
shown in the following gures.
Mounting bracket with ¼ x 20 thread.
Screw the bracket into the female thread on the bottom of the monitor.
Attach the bracket to wall or other surface.
Page 23
Page 22
Standby and Low Battery:
When the battery is low, the LED (2) won’t light when the power switch
(8) is turned on.
There is a narrow region of battery voltage where the LED will light
up green, but the monitor won’t operate. This can be mistaken for the
Standby mode. To test to see if the monitor is in Standby or the battery
is low, turn the power switch (8) off and back on. If the CVBS box ap-
pears, the monitor was in Standby. It will return to the Standby mode
in a few seconds if a video signal is not applied. If the CVBS box does
not appear, the battery needs to be charged. Refer to Section 7.
If the monitor is in Standby, a video signal applied to the monitor’s
video input will turn it on.
Video and Audio Output:
Video and Audio can be fed out of the monitor and sent to an external
monitor or recording device. Use the supplied cable.
