the monitor)
• This user manual
Power supply
The camera can be used with a power
adapter or three batteries (type AA alkaline).
On battery power the camera will normally
work up to 11 hours.
Using the power adapter
Plug the power adapter labelled OUTPUT:
7.5V DC into a wall outlet and plug the adap-
ter plug into the underside of the camera (A9).
Put the ON/OFF switch (A11) in ON position.
Using batteries
Open the cover of the battery compartment
(A8) on the rear of the camera.
Insert three AA batteries so their plus (+) and
minus (-) ends are facing as shown on the
inside of the battery compartment cover and
close the battery compartment securely.
Move the ON/OFF switch (A11) to the ON
position.
Discard used batteries in an environmentally
friendly and responsible way.
Never mix old and new batteries.
Remove the batteries from the camera if you
are not planning to use it for a period of time.
Channel selection

Fine tuning
Place the camera in a suitable location and
point the lens (A1) toward the observation area
by rotating the lens body (A3) vertically.
Adjust the focus by turning the lens knob (A2)
until the image is sharp.
Night vision
The camera has six infrared LEDs (A4) that give
you clear images in the dark. To activate the
infrared function, move the switch (A11) to the IR
position.
When using the night vision function, the picture
automatically goes into black and white mode.
The night vision function is disabled when
running on battery power.
Low battery power indicator
The LED indicator for low battery power (A6)
lights up when the batteries need to be replaced.
Power supply
The monitor can run on the power adapter and
the pre-installed LI-ION rechargeable battery.
Charging time is 1 to 4 hours, whether the
monitor is off or on. When the monitor is turned
off and the charging is completed, the indicator
for fully charged battery (B6) lights up. The bat-
tery will work approximately 6 hours with the
monitor flipped down and 2 to 3 hours with the
monitor open.
Using the power adapter
Plug the power adapter labelled OUTPUT: 5V
DC into a wall socket and plug the adapter
plug into the rear of the monitor (B14).
Move the ON/OFF switch (B13) to the ON
position .
Adjust the volume (B9) to the desired level.
Adjust the brightness (B10) to the desired level.
Channel selection
Only one switch (B11) must be moved to the
ON position.
Select Channel 1 by moving CH SEL 1 to ON
Select Channel 2 by moving CH SEL 2 to ON
Select Channel 3 by moving CH SEL 3 to ON
Select Channel 4 by moving CH SEL 4 to ON
Check that you select the same channel as on
your camera.

Voice-activated function (Alarm mode)
Close the monitor (B1).
Press the alarm button (B3) to select Alarm
mode for the monitor and the LED indicator for
alarm (B4) lights up. By pressing the alarm
button (B3) once more, the alarm LED indicator
(B4) will be turned off, and the monitor returns
to normal mode.
When the camera is activated by a sound from
the baby, you are alerted by a beeping sound in
the monitor and the alarm LED indicator (B4)
blinks until the button (B3) is pressed again.
With NOVA's alarm function you can flip down
the monitor (B1) so that only the sound is trans-
ferred from the camera. If there is strong ambient
noise, you can turn the volume off completely
(B9) and the alarm function will alert you when
there is a sound in the child's room without
having to watch the monitor. You also conserve
battery power.
Low battery power indicator
A beeping sound and the low battery power
LED indicator (B7) will tell you that the battery
is getting low.
Replacing the LI-ION battery
Open the cover of the battery compartment on
the underside of the monitor. The battery is pre-
installed at the factory and must not be removed
before it is dead.
The battery is connected to a small plug.
Press down the contact (see the shaded field)
and pull up the plug using the two cables.
Discard used batteries in an environmentally
friendly and responsible way.
The NOVA battery has sophisticated electronic
components that prevent the battery from
exploding. Only the battery provided or an
original NOVA battery must be used.
Connecting to other equipment
The monitor is furnished with an audio/video
output jack (B8) for connecting to a TV, VCR,
DVD or PC.
Put in the mini-jack plug of the provided AV
cable into the AV-OUT jack (B8) of the monitor.
Plug the other end of the AV cable into the
audio/video input of the equipment to be used.
See also the user manual for the equipment to
be used.
You can also use this equipment for another
type of monitoring in your house and home.

If you do not receive any signal at all
•Check that both the camera and the monitor are switched on
•Check that power cables are firmly plugged in
•Check that the camera and monitor are tuned to the same channel
•If the camera and/or the monitor are running on batteries, replace the
batteries or use the power adapter
If the signal is poor or there is interference
•Check that the channel switches on the camera and the monitor are
set to the same channel.
•If a wireless computer network is in operation near you, switch to
another channel or turn off the network if necessary. Alternatively, set
the network to channel 1 and VisionNOVA to channel 3.
•If a microwave oven is used between the camera and the monitor,
move the microwave oven or turn it off.
•Check that the camera and the monitor are within range of each other.
The range is up to 100 metres (open air). This depends on local
conditions. The range is significantly reduced inside because walls,
roofs, large objects and glass limit the range. The picture quality will
give you a good indication of reception conditions.
•Weak batteries will cause interference and reduce the range
substantially.
•In the 2.4GHz frequency band many types of radio traffic are
permitted. Normally this may cause obtrusive interference. With
NOVA's unique alarm function you avoid the noise and poor image
quality, but you will still be alerted when your child wakes up.
•Store all parts and accessories out of reach of children.
•Only use the supplied power adapters for the respective unit.
•Do not shake or knock the units.
•Do not use in dirty or dusty environments.
•Fingerprints or dirt on the lens surface may detrimentally affect the
camera performance. Do not touch the lens.
•f the lens is dirty, use a lens brush or a soft dry cloth to clean.
•Keep in a dry place. Precipitation, humidity and liquids may contain
minerals that corrode electronic circuits.
•Avoid storing in a hot room. High temperatures may damage the
contact between the electronic components and the monitor screen,
shorten the life of electronic equipment and warp or melt some plastics.
•Avoid storing in a cold place. When the units then warm up to their
normal working temperature condensation may form inside, which may
damage the electronic components.
•Bear in mind that public radio frequencies are being used when the
units are functioning and that the sound and the pictures may be picked
up by other equipment on the 2.4 GHz band. Conversations, even from
a room close to the camera, may be captured by others. Always turn off
the camera when not in use in order to protect your private life.
The guarantee lapses if the units have been opened. Unskilled handling
may damage the equipment. Any repairs must only be carried out at an
ESD secure workstation to avoid damage from static electricity. The
guarantee does not include the battery because its life span depends on
use. If you wish to lodge a complaint against the product, a copy of the
receipt must be attached together with a detailed description of the
defect. If you supply a complete description of the defect you are ensured
the best service and you will be just as happy with your NOVA quality
product like thousands of others in Europe.
