input of the transmitter. If your camera does not have an S-Video output, use
the composite cable included with your camera, or call ClearOne customer
service to buy a compact connection cable.

the on (up) position and move 2, 3, and 4 to the off (down) position.
4. Replace the red plastic cover.
5. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet.
6. Plug the other end of the power supply into the Y power cable jack.
7. Connect one of the Y cable plugs to the 12V power connector on the trans-
mitter and the other to the 12V power connector on the camera.

Compliance
The ClearOne Wireless A/V device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is sub-
ject 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 unde-
sired operation.
This product transmits microwaves at a frequency of 2.4GHz. It is done in a fashion which
meets FCC requirements and limits its ability to interfere with normal radio, television and
communications frequencies. However, it has been designed in such a fashion that other fre-
quencies may have a tendency to interfere with this product and may experience some distor-
tion or noise from time to time as these signals may be received.
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsi-
ble for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Receiver
The receiver outputs are connected to the monitor or A/V equipment inputs.
To connect the receiver
1. Connect the left and right audio outputs of the receiver to the left and right
audio inputs of the monitor. If there is only one audio output on the camera,
connect the same (left or right) output that was used in the transmitter setup.
2. Connect the video output of the receiver to the video input of the monitor.
3. Set the channel selector to 1.
4. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet.
5. Plug the other end of the power supply into the 12V power connector.
6. Switch the power to the ON position.
Usage notes
There are four possible channels for the wireless A/V system. Any of the four can be
used, but the receiver must be on the same channel as the transmitter to receive the
audio and video. The channel selector is on the side of the receiver. The channel selec-
tor for the transmitter is under the plastic cap. Only one of the switches should be in
the ON position at a time, the rest should be OFF. The switch that is in the ON posi-
tion is the selected channel.
The wireless transmission is omni directional, however best results may be obtained
when the transmitter and receiver are facing each other. Obstructions such as walls
and floors may decrease the maximum distance between the receiver and transmitter.
Interference and noise may be noticed when other transmitters are in use, such as
cordless phones, microwaves, aircraft radar, etc. If noise is present, try relocating the
devices or changing the channel on the transmitter and receiver.
