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 with the charge/
ethernet 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 BW31PTZ camera comes with a mounting bracket. With it installed, you can
mount the camera on the wall.
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.
#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 25.
