Operation
Press POWER on the monitor. The AUTO in-
dicator lights and the monitor automatically
scans the input to all of its jacks in sequence.
If you did not connect a camera to one or
more of the jacks, the monitor displays a
blank screen when it scans those jacks. To
have the monitor skip a blank screen, see
“Programming a Viewing Sequence.”
To manually select a single camera’s view,
press AUTO. The AUTO indicator turns off.
Then press the camera button of the camera
you want to observe (CA1, CA2, CA3, or
CA4).
Setting the Camera View Time
When you turn on the monitor, it is preset to
scan all the camera connections, pausing 5
seconds at each.
To change the view time for all the connect-
ed cameras, hold down AUTO and the CA4
button for the amount of time you want them
to scan (during each cycle). For example, to
set the view time to 10 seconds, hold down
AUTO and CA4 for 10 seconds then release
both buttons. You can set a view time of up
to 60 seconds.
Note: When you turn off the monitor’s power,
the view time resets to 5 seconds for each
camera.
Programming a Viewing
Sequence
The monitor scans cameras 1 through 4 in
that order each time you turn on the system.
To set a different scan order, with the AUTO
indicator on, press CA1, CA2, CA3, and
CA4 in the desired order. To skip any cam-
era, do not press that camera's button.
For example, to view cameras 3, 2, and 1,
and skip camera 4, press CA3, CA2, then
CA1. (Do not press CA4.)
To reset the viewing sequence, press VCR
then AUTO. The system resumes scanning
all four cameras in order (1–4).
Note: Pressing VCR then AUTO does not
change the view time settings.
Adjusting the Picture/Sound
Controls
The monitor has picture and sound controls
similar to a standard TV. To access the con-
trols, press PUSH on the front panel flip cov-
er.
