INSTALLATION
1. Place the monitor in a location with clear reception from your camera(s).
2. If you are using the monitor as a stand-alone unit, flip out the stand on the back
of the monitor and extend the antenna. Connect an AC adaptor to the power
input on the side of the receiver. If you are using the monitor in the cradle, insert
it into the cradle and connect an AC adaptor to the input jack on the back of the
cradle.
3. Plug the power plug into a 240 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet or surge
protector.
4. Press and hold the POWER button to turn the unit on or off. Let the monitor
charge for 6 hours prior to first time use so the built-in rechargeable monitor
battery is fully charged. DO NOT remove the power cable from the monitor/
cradle during the initial charge process. After the initial charge, recharge the
monitor as needed.
5. Out of range displays until you turn on the camera.
MONITOR INSTALLATION
CAMERA INSTALLATION
The BW3000 camera and mounting clip are a complete unit. The BW3000 camera
does come with a separate suction cup bar. With it installed, you can mount the
camera on glass or smooth metallic surfaces.
Placement Considerations
• The camera included with your monitor is NOT weatherproof; it is an indoor
camera.
• The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and monitor is best. Walls,
especially brick and concrete, can affect reception quality.
• Avoid having a direct light source in view of the camera (ceiling or floor lamps).
• Carefully plan where and how the camera will be positioned, and where you will
route the cable that connects the camera to the power adaptor.
• When you are positioning the camera, bring the monitor along; it’s much easier
to get the camera into the right position when you have the display handy. Check
the image on the monitor before you install the camera.
• Out of range displays when the camera is out of range, turned off, or
unsuccessfully paired to the monitor. It also displays when the monitor is out of
range.
#You can install additional cameras (maximum of 4 cameras). When adding
cameras that were not included in the original box, you will need to pair the
cameras with the monitor. Refer to page 33.

8
Wall Mount
The BW3000 camera mounting clip has
two slots that fit over screws to mount
the unit on the wall.
1. Mark the position of the screw holes
on the wall.
2. Drill holes and insert the anchors and
screws provided. Be sure to leave
room for the mounting clip to fit over
the screw heads.
3. Place the mounting clip over the
installed screws and push it downwards, locking it into place.
4. Adjust the camera as needed.
1. Insert the suction base into the mounting clip
as shown.
2. Firmly press the camera with the suction
base attached onto glass or metallic
surfaces.
3. Adjust the camera as needed.
Suction Mount
Clip Mount
Clip the BW3000 on ledges and shelves.
1. Press the mounting clip as shown.
2. Place the unit over the mounting surface and
release.
3. Adjust the camera as needed.
WALL
Connect Power
1. Insert the AC adaptor power plug into the camera’s DC adaptor input jack.
2. Plug the other end into a 240 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet or surge
protector. The red charging LED turns on.
3. Press POWER. The green power LED turns on and the monitor now displays
camera video. If it doesn’t, try reconnecting the AC adaptor, making sure the
power outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.
#“Suctions will not stick well on a curved/
textured or wet surface. Make sure the spot
is smooth and flat. Dry the spot completely
(use a lint-free cloth, if possible).
