Connector Information
MotoComm’s mini DIN connectors feature a weatherproof molding. This weatherproof molding
is designed for a tight t. When mating these connectors for the rst time, it WILL BE DIFFICULT!
Take extra care in lining up the arrows on the connectors and slowly (but rmly!) push the
connectors together. It is a good idea to leave the plugs connected for several hours. This will
help‘mold’the connectors together and make for an ideal t. Subsequent connections will not be
as dicult.

DSR-1003G 6

DSR-CM81 camera body. Note that
there is a rubber o-ring that creates a
weatherproof seal between the lens
cover and the camera body.
(3) Loosen the small set screw so that the
camera lens can be rotated and
focused.
(4) Determine the distance at which you
want the camera to be focused at, and
point the camera at an object at that
distance.
(5) Carefully turn the camera lens
clockwise or counterclockwise, while
looking at the DSR-7680-3G screen, to
focus the camera on the object.
(6) When in focus, carefully tighten down
the set screw to secure the lens in the

DSR-MIC-1 Remote Microphone Installation
The DSR-MIC-1 has a variable gain
control located on the bottom of the
microphone case. The gain control is a
small, circuit board mounted
potentiometer.
To adjust the gain of the microphone,
remove the protective rubber cover
and use a small slotted screw driver to
SLOWLY adjust the potentiometer. To
increase the microphone gain, rotate
the control clockwise. To decrease the
gain, rotate the control
counter-clockwise. Only small
adjustments are required.

The DSR-12VDC-180CM is another option for powering the camera and remote microphone. The
camera and microphone operate o of 12 volts DC and may be powered by a standard vehicle
electrical system. The camera and microphone combined current draw is approx. 120mA - make
sure that the electrical system is capable of handling this current draw.
(1) Connect the red wire (fused line) to the
positive (+) 12 volt DC power source. It is
recommended to make the connection at
the fuse box or other switched power
source.
(2) Connect the black wire (ground) to the
negative (-) side of the 12 volt DC power
source.
NOTE: Motorcycle and powersport vehicle electrical systems can be ‘noisy’ and can generate
interference with installed electronic equipment. If you experience interference when using the DC
power cable, try using the battery holder to power the camera and remote microphone.
