[1] Power supply to the Camera
The Camera has no POWER switch. Power is supplied to the Camera when the AC
adapter is connected to the wall socket and the Camera.
When power is supplied to the Camera, the Camera turns to the lower left (in case of
PTC-100S) or right (PTC-110R) and then to the front automatically (viewed from the
front), returning the Camera position to the initially set position.
4. OPERATION PROCEDURES

5. THE ID NUMBER SETTING
When multiple Cameras are laid out adjacently and operated via the wireless remote
controller, the Cameras receiving the infrared rays operate in unison in the same way. When
each Camera is allocated with a different ID No., the Camera can be controlled independently
when its ID No. is specified via the wireless remote controller. The ID Nos. can be allocated
for up to 6 Cameras.
(1) Setting an ID No.
• Turn ON only the camera to be set with an ID
No. Leave other adjacent Cameras in the OFF
position. (Unplug their AC adapters from the
Cameras or wall socket).
• Set the remote ID No. to the Camera. (See "6.
OSD (On-Screen Display)" on P. 19.) After
setting, close the Menu screen by pressing
MENU button. Then, repeat the ID No. setting
for all other Cameras in the same way.
(2) Operating the Cameras selectively
12

• Press ID button, and the LED's of all adjacent Cameras will start blinking (at
intervals of 0.2 sec). (To cancel this, press ID button again.) Then, press 1
through 6 buttons, and the LED's will go out, and selective operation by specifying
the ID No. will be ready. Now, only the selected Camera can be operated via the
wireless remote controller.
(3) Canceling the selective operation of the Cameras
• Hold down ID button for over 2 sec, and the blinking LED on the Camera will
light up. Then, unhand ID button. Now, the selective operation has been
cancelled, and all adjacent Cameras start operation via the wireless remote controller.
• Alternatively, the selective operation by specifying the ID No. can also be cancelled
by unplugging the DC jack from the Camera and turning ON the Camera power again.
