Screen Cleaning & General Care
Do not use solvents when cleaning the screen as they may cause damage; clean with a soft
cloth. Do not expose the Monitor to wet/damp/humid, dusty, or excessively hot or cold environ-
ments, or leave it in direct sunlight. Make sure all connections are free of dirt and debris at all
times. Do not block vents. Only use the supplied power supply. Turn power off when not in use.
* The HDCM-2 will not work directly connected to HD Analog Cameras or anything that uses
proprietary encoding.
Battery Engaged/Disengaged Switch
(on side)
Turn this switch to the OFF (circle symbol) position when
not in use. Leave it ON (straight line symbol) if you want to
power the unit using the built-in battery. When you want to
charge the battery, turn this switch to the ON position and
plug the AC adapter into the unit. UM-HDCM, REV 05/2017

Purpose
This is a multi-purpose ruggedized HD LED monitor. It can be used for temporary or perma-
nent connection to any NVR, DVR, Cable/Satelllite box, computer, or other video source that
has an HDMI, AV, VGA, or BNC connection.*
How to display video
Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet, and then connect it to the HDCM-2. The HDCM-2 will
automatically turn the screen on and attempt to show video. Next, connect your video source to
the appropriate connection on the top of the HDCM-2. If you see a “No Signal” message on the
screen, press the Input Selector button on the top to access that menu, then press it again to
scroll through the AV, BNC, HDMI, and VGA options. Once you have highlighted the connection
type you are using, press one of the Arrow buttons to select it. Your video should now display.
Adjusting brightness, contrast, etc.
Press the Screen Controls Menu button to access the menu. There will be four primary icons
on the top row—a Color Wheel icon, a Speaker icon, a Screen Shift icon, and an Advanced
Settings icon (the one with the clock). Use the Left and Right Arrow buttons to highlight/
select one of the menus. Then use the Input Selector button to scroll down the list of Settings.
When you have highlighted the setting you want to adjust, use the Arrow buttons to make the
change. Once you have made the change, select the Screen Controls button again to save it.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT POWER & CHARGING THE BATTERY
There is a built-in rechargeable battery. Therefore, leaving the Battery Engage/Disengage
Switch in the ON position will drain the battery even when the screen is not On. Be sure to turn
off the Battery Engage/Disengage Switch during transport or when the HDCM-2 is not in use.
Always use the AC power adapter if you set up the HDCM-2 in a permanent location, or plan
to run it contiunously for more than an hour.
To charge the battery, plug in the AC adapter and turn the Battery Engage/Disengage Switch
to the ON position.

INSTALLING THE V-SHAPED STAND
TOOLS
You will need a long, narrow flat-head screwdriver that has a magnetic tip. You will also need
to be in a well-lit area.
Step 1: Unboxing & Parts**
The stand ships in two separate pieces—the Base and the Tilt Adjuster—and must be assem-
bled before use. Remove both parts from your case.The Base is the piece with a bottom that is
shaped like a boomreang. The Tilt Adjuster is the piece that has the rectangular piece of metal
mounted on a black plastic circle with a piece of rubber in between.
Step 2: Removing the Screws and Mounting the Tilt Adjuster to the Base
Remove the screws from the Tilt Adjuster using the flat-head screwdriver. Then, flip the Base
over and place the neck of the Base into the Tilt Adjuster. Line up the screw holes, then use
the screws to connect the two pieces.
Step 3: Mounting the Screen Onto the Stand
Place the Base upright on the table with the feet of the stand facing you. Verify there is no
slack between the Base and the Tilt Adjuster (the connection should be tight; the Tilt Adjuster
may move left and right slightly, but should not have any ability to move up or down.) Take the
HDCM Monitor and look at the back of it. Below the label on the back of the unit, you will see
a slot cut out of the metal case. Place the rectangular piece of metal on the TIlt Adjuster into
that slot.
Step 4: Tighten Tilt Adjuster Against the Monitor
Now that the Monitor is mounted onto the Tilt Adjuster, use the wheel on the Tilt Adjuster to
tighten the connection to the Monitor until the connection is tight enough that the monitor will
not fall out if the stand is picked up and flipped upside down (be sure to be careful when you
are testing this in case you haven’t tightened it down enough).
Step 5: Tilt Adjustments
To complete the adjustments, loosen the Tilt Up/Down bolt, manually move the Monitor to the
desired viewing angle, and then re-tighten the Tilt Up/Down bolt.
**Some units come with a special, wall-mountable stand that does not require assembly, so the
above instructions may not be applicable to your unit.
