separately. It includes a strain
relief which can be mounted to
the Mini transmitter cage as

F. Lithium Battery Operation
The Connex Mini transmitters and receivers do not have power (on/off) switches, so they power up whenever
voltage is applied. The lithium batteries have a power button to turn them on and off. You must press and
hold the button for about 2 seconds to either turn on, or turn off the battery.
Note: The battery must be turned off when being charged. Watch for the walking lights to confirm charging
is taking place. Charging time is about 4 hours.

Brief Operational Notes for the transmitter/receiver set (See the Connex/ Connex Mini
User Guide for more detailed information)
The Connex Mini transmitter with Mini or Fusion receiver provides plug and play wireless transmission
of HDMI video signals, but does not transmit audio.
Frequency selection from one of 11 available channels is automatic.
The Connex Mini can transmit to up to 4 receivers simultaneously.
Refer to the Amimon Connex/Connex Mini User Guide for information about how the two LEDs (video
and network) on the transmitter and receiver show the status of a connection and video input.
Note that the receiver has an On Screen Display (OSC) button to turn on, or turn off the On Screen
Display. Normally you would have the On Screen Display turned off so that the OSD information is not
overlaid onto the camera video.
