Change volume setting on the Handheld Monitor Unit. (Refer to Sec. 3-1 “Check 3”)8. Frequently Asked Questions.Q: Is the iVISION+ compatible to the old iVISIONA: No, but the iVISION+ is compatible with OPTEX RC-20U, which allows the iVISION+ additional feature to operate a third-party equipment.Q: If I connect existing door bell wires to the Door Camera Unit, will the bell still ring?A: No. The input terminals on the Door Camera Unit are strictly for power purposes. Please use Gateway Chime Unit to replace the existing doorbell for additional sound.Q: Can I unload the images from the Handheld Monitor Unit to my PC?A: Yes. micro-USB cable is required to unload images. (Refer to Sec. 6-3)Q. What is the RF transmission range for iVISION+?A: Signal reaches a maximum of six hundred ft (clear line of site). RF signal condition may vary depending on surrounding environment and materials.Q: How many Handheld Monitor Units can I have communicating to a Door Camera Unit? A: One at a time. If another Door Camera Unit makes a call while answering, the call will be withheld until the current session ends.A: There is no volume adjustment for the Door Camera Unit.Q: How can I adjust the volume on the Door Camera Unit? If the Handheld Monitor Unit is too close to the DoorCamera unit, a howling sound can occur.• Keep the Handheld Monitor Unit away from the DoorCamera unit.Is the AC adaptor disconnected from the socket or the charging cradle?• Please check all power connections.• Clean the charging terminals with a dry cloth.
