5) To get the best performance from the camera, please follow the guidelines
below:
i) For best performance, mount the camera between 12ft and 16ft above
the detected area.
ii) Built-in IR sources (8 LEDs) provide night vision, for day use please
turn off the LEDs by sliding the NIGHT VISION SWITCH (on the right
side of camera head) to the OFF position.
iii) To avoid problems with false sound trigger, adjust sound trigger level by
tuning the TRIGGER LEVEL TUNER (on the right side of camera head)
accordingly.
6) Select the channel on the SLIDE SWITCH (on back of the camera head)
by sliding switch to position 1, 2 or 3. Camera is preset to channel 1 (default).
7) The camera (transmitter) installation is now completed. 9

Setting up the LCD Monitor (Receiver)
1) Plug the palm monitor AC adapter into the 6V DC power jack on the back
of the receiver. You can also use 4 AA batteries to operate the monitor for
temporary use.
2) Turn on the monitor by pressing the power button.
3) If connecting to TV/VCR/DVR, connect one end of the enclosed A/V
cable to the back of the palm monitor, the other end to your TV/VCR/DVR’s
A/V inputs, the yellow plug to the VIDEO IN jack and the white plug to the
AUDIO IN jack.
4) If wall mounting, install the bracket onto the wall, and mount the palm
monitor to the bracket.
5) The monitor (receiver) setting is now completed.
Optimizing the Palmwatch II
The 2.4GHz video signals pass easily through your home’s interior walls, but
the signal may be reflected by power wire or plumbing inside the wall. The
most common source of interference are microwave ovens. Try to avoid
mounting the palm monitor near a microwave oven or other source of RF
interference such as cordless phones, and wireless routers in the 2.4Ghz fre-
quency band. 10

Multi-Camera Operation
The PalmWatch II is designed to support up to 3 cameras. Additional cam-
eras are sold separately. Please check for product availability.
Important:
When using more than one camera, make sure each camera is assigned to
specific channel by adjusting the corresponding SLIDE SWITCH to position 1,
2, or 3.
Back view of the camera
The DIP SWITCH located on the back of the palm monitor should be adjust-
ed to correspond to the channel in use.

POWER
•Press to turn the palm monitor ON/OFF.
•When using the battery source on the palm monitor, the built-in LED of the
POWER button will flash to indicate low battery status between 2.5 to 3.5
hours after initial use.
AUTO
Pressing the AUTO button places the system in auto mode. In this mode, the
system automatically rotates through all active cameras. When sound is
above the pre-set sound trigger level of the baby camera, the palm monitor
will display the picture from the camera for a few seconds, and the beeper
alarm will sound. To avoid searching for channels that do not have cameras
assigned, set the DIP SWITCH (located on the back panel of the palm moni-
tor) for those corresponding channels up to the OFF position.
The dwell time (time taken to switch between cameras) is preset to 2 sec-
onds and can be adjusted between 2~30 seconds. To adjust the dwell time,
press and hold both the AUTO & MANUAL buttons simultaneously. Each
flash of the LED increases the dwell time by one second.
