3. Connect the AC power to the control unit

appropriate for the power receptacles of the region.
The camera has an external universal power adapter,
able to operate from any AC voltage between 100
and 240 volts nominal, 47 to 63 Hz single phase,
without changing switches or jumpers. The camera
consumes a maximum of about 60 watts of power,
and should be operated from the same circuit sup-
plying power to the computer connected to the
camera.

Approved extension cords may be used to

supply power to the camera over considerable distances.

Turn on the digital camera with the switch on the control unit. The Power LED will light green

digital camera is ready. Also check the LED on the insert, next to the cable connector. The LED will
flash green every few seconds to indicate a good connection with the control unit.

standard 4x5 sheet film, centered in the overall image
area. Several black plastic viewing masks have been
supplied with the digital camera, which can be placed
over the ground glass of your camera to indicate the
area available for digital imaging. These masks have
a low-tack adhesive on one side, allowing them to be
secured to either the inside or outside of the ground
glass, yet easily removable. Line up the centering
notches in the inside of the mask with the center lines

Overlay mounted on a ground glass view screen.
