FINE TUNING YOUR SYSTEM  
CONNECTING UP  
The system usually works best with the "pip" on the Camera's antenna  
facing the flat side of the Receiver's antenna (see diagram below).  
Sometimes, however, reflections and other effects in the home may affect  
the signal so that some adjustment of either the Camera or Receiver  
antenna may be necessary to get the best signal. If you have more than one  
Camera, sometimes pointing the Receiver's antenna up towards the ceiling  
works best.  
1. Connect a Video cable to the VIDEO  
OUT jack on the Video Receiver.  
Connect the other end to your TV's  
VIDEO IN jack. If your TV does not  
have a Video IN jack, you will need to  
purchase an RF modulator, or connect  
as shown in the diagram below.  
2. Plug the Video Receiver's Power  
Supply jack (the power supply with NO  
code wheels) into the Video Receiver  
and plug the power supply into a 120  
volt wall outlet.  
pip  
3. Turn the Video Receiver's power switch (on side of unit) on.  
4. Set the channel switch to the same letter as you set on the camera, A,  
B, C, or D.  
5. Position the Video Receiver in a convenient location such as on top of  
the TV and orient the antenna so that the flat side points in the direction  
where you set up the Camera.

VIDEO RECEIVER  
IF YOUR TV IS ALREADY HOOKED UP TO A  
DBS RECEIVER OR OTHER A/V DEVICE,  
OR IF YOUR TV DOES NOT HAVE A VIDEO  
IN JACK.  
If a DBS Receiver or other A/V  
component is connected to the TV using a  
COAX cable, you can connect the Video  
Receiver to the free LINE IN jack on the  
component.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
If you do not see a picture on your TV:  
Try unplugging/turning off any electromagnetic interference producing devices,  
such as a microwave oven, baby monitor, computer, wireless LAN, wireless  
speakers, cordless phone, cell phone, etc.  
Check that the Receiver and the Camera are on the same letter channel (A,  
B, C, or D). On the Receiver the switch is on the bottom. On the Camera the  
switch is located under the rubber plug on the base of the unit. Make sure you  
replace the plug afterwards if you intend to use the camera outdoors.  
Other 2.4 GHz devices can distort the Camera's picture. If you are experiencing  
interference between X10 Cameras and some other equipment that uses 2.4  
GHz, check the other device's owner's manual for the frequencies of each  
channel that it uses. X10 cameras use the following frequencies: Channel A:  
2.411 GHz, Chan B: 2.434 GHz, Chan C: 2.453 GHz, Chan D: 2.473 GHz. We  
recommend using a frequency on the other device that is farthest from channel  
A or D, depending on which side of the band the other device is transmitting.  
Otherwise you will need to discontinue use of the device while using the  
Cameras.  
There is a power light on the front of the Receiver. Check that the power  
switch on the side of the Receiver is ON.  
Check that the Camera is turned on. For single camera systems the power  
supply for the Camera will normally be on (it powers up on). For Multi-Camera  
systems you need to purchase a TM751 Transceiver for the remote control to  
be able to turn Cameras on. When you turn any one on, in a group of 4 on, the  
others in the group turn off. Groups must be 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, or 13-16. Check  
that all camera power supplies are set to the same Housecode as the Transceiver  
and remote control.  
If the camera is out of focus:  
The camera is shipped preset to be in focus for normal use, but if you want to  
change the focus you can remove the clear plastic cover and rotate the inner  
portion of the lens. It might be a bit tight. Try turning it counterclockwise first.  
If you turn it clockwise do not force or over tighten it. For outdoor use, replace  
the clear plastic cover to keep the rain out.  
Verify that your connections to the TV are correct. Make sure you are using  
the appropriate input mode for your TV, try pressing the A-B button or Video  
button on your TV's remote control to change the input mode (consult your  
TV's owner's manual, if necessary).  
If you are having difficulty turning the Camera on/off remotely:  
If you connected the Receiver to a VCR and then connected the VCR to your  
TV, you might need to turn the VCR OFF to see the Camera's picture on your  
TV. Or you might need to turn the VCR on, AND set it to record the picture  
from the Camera, in order to see the picture on your TV. Or you might need to  
press the A-B button on your VCR's remote control. Consult your VCR's  
owner's manual from more information.  
Plug the Transceiver (the white module with an antenna) into a different outlet.  
Note a Transceiver (sold separately) is REQUIRED for Multi-Camera systems.  
It is not required if you only have one camera as the camera's power supply  
powers up on when you plug it in.  
If the Remote Control (sold separately) doesn't do anything.  
If you get a picture but the quality is poor:  
Check that the red light on the remote comes on when you press any button.  
Check that you have the batteries installed correctly, replace if necessary with  
4 AAA alkaline batteries. Try the Transceiver in different outlets (see above).  
Try different positions for the antennas on the Camera and Receiver. Normally  
they should point at each other. Sometimes, due to reflections, you might get a  
better picture with the Receiver's antenna pointing to the ceiling.  
Take a look at what the video signal is passing through or near to get to the  
Receiver. Metal objects and electromagnetic fields can distort the signal. Try  
to keep the Receiver as far away from other devices as the cables allow. In  
most cases, relocating the Camera or Receiver a few feet is enough to avoid  
the source of interference.
