Your Wireless Camera Kit consists of a Wide Angle Color Video Camera
with built-in 2.4 GHz Transmitter , and a Video Receiver which you connect
to a TV anywhere in your home (up to 100 ft. away from the Camera). The
Camera converts video signals into radio signals and transmits them (even
through walls) to the Video Receiver. The Receiver converts the signals
back to video signals and feeds them through a cable to your TV's Video
input jack.
Also included is a remote controlled power supply, Model XM13A, which
lets you turn the camera on and off by remote control from any X10 remote
control (sold separately). You can purchase additional cameras and power
supplies so you can have a multiple camera system. You can then set all
cameras to the same channel as the receiver and turn the cameras on and
off remotely so as to only ever have one camera turned on at a time.
FCC CAUTION
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.
OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS:
(1)THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE, AND
(2)THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING
INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy , and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturers instructions, it may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply

SETTINGUPTHE CAMERA, AND REMOTE CONTROLLED POWER
SUPPLY
Referring to the diagrams below and on the previous page:
1. Attach the camera to a wall using the screws provided.
2. If you install the camera outdoors, make a small hole in your exterior
wall and pass the low voltage power jack through it.
3. Plug the XM13A's power supply jack into the socket on the adapter
cable from the camera.
4. Plug the power supply into any 120V AC outlet.
5. Set the channel switch on the camera to any letter A, B, C, or D
6. Adjust the antenna if necessary to aim it in the direction of the TV that
you will view the camera on.
7. Set the Housecode dial to a letter between A and P
that matches the Housecode dial on the X10 remote
controls you want to use it with. Set the Unit Code
dial to a number between 1 and 4*. This lets you turn
the camera connected to the XM13A on and off by
remote control (using X10 remote controls, sold
separately). See the owner's manual supplied with
X10 remote controls for more details.
* You can also set the Unit Code for any group of 4
cameras to 5-8, 9-12, or 13-16.
1. Connect a Video cable to the VIDEO
OUT jack on the Video Receiver.
Connect the other end to your TV's
VIDEO IN jack. If your TV does not
have a Video IN jack, you will need to
purchase an RF modulator, or connect
as shown in the diagram below, or
purchase a Model VR31A Receiver.
2. Plug the Video Receiver's Power
Supply jack (the power supply with NO
code wheels) into the Video Receiver
and plug the power supply into a 120
volt wall outlet.
3. Turn the Video Receiver's power switch (on side of unit) on.
4. Set the channel switch to the same letter as you set on the camera, A,
B, C, or D.
5. Position the Video Receiver in a convenient location such as on top of
the TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the direction
where you set up the Camera.

FINE TUNINGYOUR SYSTEM
The system usually works best with the "pip" on the Camera's antenna
facing the flat side of the Receiver's antenna (see diagram below).
Sometimes, however, reflections and other effects in the home may affect
the signal so that some adjustment of either the Camera or Receiver
antenna may be necessary to get the best the signal. If you have more than
one Camera, sometimes pointing the Receiver's antenna up towards the
ceiling works best.

IFYOUARENOTGETTINGANYSIGNALATALL
Check that the CHANNEL slide switch (labeled A, B, C, D) on both units
(on bottom) is set to the same letter.
If you are using coaxial TV connections from the Video Receiver (Model
VR31A only), check that the TV is tuned to the same channel as the TV
Channel switch on the bottom of the Video Receiver (3 or 4).
Check that the camera's remote controlled power supply is turned on (using
any X10 remote control, sold separately). Note, when you first plug the
power supply in, it will normally be ON.
IFTHESIGNALISPOOR, ORTHEREISINTERFERENCE
Try changing the channel on both units. Do this by adjusting the
CHANNEL slide switch on each unit to any position (A, B, C, or D). Make
sure both units are set to the same letter.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IFYOUDONOTSEEAPICTUREONYOUR TV:
Check that the Receiver and the Camera are on the same letter channel (A,
B, C, or D). On the Receiver the switch is on the bottom. On the Camera the
switch is located under the rubber plug on the base of the unit. Make sure you
replace the plug afterwards if you intend to use the camera outdoors.
There is a power light on the front of the Receiver. Check that the power
switch on the side of the Receiver is ON.
Check that the Camera is turned on. For single camera systems the power
supply for the Camera will normally be on (it powers up on). For Multi-Camera
systems you need to purchase a TM751 Transceiver for the remote control to
be able to turn Cameras on. When you turn any one on, in a group of 4 on, the
others in the group turn off. Groups must be 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, or 13-16. Check
that all camera power supplies are set to the same Housecode as the Transceiver
and remote control.
Verify that your connections to the TV are correct. If you are using the RCA
jacks, make sure you are using the appropriate input mode for your TV, try
pressing the A-B button or Video button on your TV's remote control to change
the input mode (consult your TV's owner's manual, if necessary). If you are
using a Coax cable (Model VR31A Receiver only), verify that the Receiver
and the TV are on the same channel (3 or 4).
If you connected the Receiver to a VCR and then connected the VCR to your
TV, you might need to turn the VCR OFF to see the Camera's picture on your
TV. Or you might need to turn the VCR on, AND set it to record the picture
from the Camera, in order to see the picture on your TV. Or you might need to
press the A-B button on your VCR's remote control. Consult your VCR's
owner's manual from more information.
IFYOUGETAPICTUREBUTTHEQUALITYISPOOR:
Try dif ferent positions for the antennas on the Camera and Receiver. Normally
they should point at each other. Sometimes, due to reflections, you might get a
better picture with the Receiver's antenna pointing to the ceiling.
Take a look at what the video signal is passing through or near to get to the
Receiver. Metal objects and electromagnetic fields can distort the signal. Try
to keep the Receiver as far away from other devices as the cables allow.

In most cases, relocating the Camera or Receiver a few feet is enough to
avoid the source of interference.
Try unplugging/turning off any electromagnetic interference producing devices,
such as a microwave oven, baby monitor, computer, wireless LAN, wireless
speakers, cordless phone, cell phone, etc.
Other 2.4 GHz devices can distort the Camera's picture and/or cause buzzing
in the audio. If you are experiencing interference between X10 Cameras and
some other equipment that uses 2.4 GHz, check the other device's owner's
manual for the frequencies of each channel that it uses. X10 cameras use the
following frequencies: Channel A: 2.411 GHz, Chan B: 2.434 GHz, Chan C:
2.453 GHz, Chan D: 2.473 GHz. We recommend using a frequency on the
other device that is farthest from channel A or D, depending on which side of
the band the other device is transmitting. Otherwise you will need to discontinue
use of the device while using the Cameras.
IFTHECAMERAISOUTOFFOCUS:
The camera is shipped preset to be in focus for normal use, but if you want to
change the focus you can remove the clear plastic cover and rotate the inner
portion of the lens. It might be a bit tight. Try turning it counterclockwise first.
If you turn it clockwise do not force or over tighten it. For outdoor use, replace
the clear plastic cover to keep the rain out.
Plug the Transceiver (the white module with an antenna) into a different outlet.
Note a Transceiver (sold separately) is REQUIRED for Multi-Camera systems.
It is not required if you only have one camera as the camera's power supply
powers up on when you plug it in.
IFTHE REMOTE CONTROL (SOLDSEPARATELY) DOESN'TDOANYTHING.
Check that the red light on the remote comes on when you press any button.
Check that you have the batteries installed correctly, replace if necessary with
4 AAA alkaline batteries. Try the Transceiver in dif ferent outlets (see above).
