Green LED is on, but no picture

appears on the screen.

Audio is eak and/or excessive

feedback noise is heard.

The remote control doesn’t ork.

Suggestio

Make sure the po er adapter is

plugged into a all outlet and the

“po er” jack on the camera.

Check all cable connections to

verify that they are tight and fully

inserted.

Check monitor, LCD projector or

other video device to ensure it is

Is the TV/VCR set to the correct

channel for live input? Refer to

your TV/VCR o ner’s manual.

Is the person speaking too far

from the base of the camera, or

in jack. If a mic-in jack is used,

you ill experience more feed-

back and other noise.

Verify that fresh batteries are in-

stalled and positioned correctly.
