Inserting batteries into the wireless unitBefore attaching the Wireless Camera to the door, insert the batteries by performing the followingprocedure.1Slide the slide lever (A) across and take out the battery case (B) from the wireless unit.RBe careful not to drop the battery case when taking it out.AB2Insert the batteries.R4 Alkaline AA batteriesRDo not mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types.RMake sure that the polarity ( , ) of the batteries is correct.3Insert the battery case into the wireless unit.RFirmly push the battery case into the wireless unit until the red label (A) cannot be seen.BCA4Slide the power slide switch (B) to ON.RYou can check if the power is actually on by confirming that the pair indicator (C) changes fromflashing to not lit.Note:RBatteries have a shelf-life. Check the shelf-life listed on the batteries before using them.19Getting Started
RUse Alkaline AA (LR6) batteries. The batteries’ lifetime will be reduced if different types of batteries areused together.RTo prevent the Wireless Camera from falling down when replacing the batteries, make sure to closethe door and turn off the power of the Wireless Camera before replacing batteries.Attaching the Wireless Camera to a doorNote:RBe careful not to get your fingers caught in the door when attaching the Wireless Camera.1Loosen the wireless unit’s fixing screw (A) with the included hex key (B), and then hang theWireless Camera from the door.RDo not take the fixing screw (A) off, just loosen it.RPosition the Wireless Camera so that visitors can be centrally viewed when monitoring.CDEAB2Holding the camera unit (C), adjust the position of the metal plate (D) so that the distance betweenthe wireless unit (E) and camera unit (C) matches the width of the door, then temporarily fix theWireless Camera into position by gently tightening the fixing screw (A).3Check that the metal plate (D) of the Wireless Camera does not hit against the door frame whenopening or closing the door.4Check that the Wireless Camera is in a suitable position.RCheck images from the Wireless Camera on the Wireless Monitor, and adjust the position of theWireless Camera as necessary.20Getting Started
5Carefully take the Wireless Camera off the door without loosening the fixing screw, and then removethe silicon paper from the double-sided tape on the back of the metal plate.RWipe dirt and moisture from the surface of the door, then attach the Wireless Camera to a flat areaon the surface of the door.Double-sided tape6Hang the Wireless Camera from the position confirmed in step 4, then press the Wireless Camerainto the door so that the double-sided tape on the back of the metal plate and wireless unit sticks tothe door (A). Make sure that there are no gaps between the top of the door and the metal plate.ABPRESSPRESSARCheck that the wireless unit does not easily move around when the door is closed.RPerform the following when the double-sided tape does not stick well to the door and the WirelessCamera moves around easily.(1) Remove the Wireless Camera from the door.(2) Loosen the fixing screw, widen the distance between camera unit and wireless unit, and thenstick the additional double-sided tape to the back of the wireless unit.Double-sided tape (included)(3) Remove the silicon paper from the double-sided tape, then hang the Wireless Camera fromwhere it was positioned before.(4) After pressing the wireless unit into the door to so that it sticks to the door, adjust the positionof the metal plate so that the distance between the wireless unit and camera unit matches thewidth of the door while holding the camera unit.7Close the door, then firmly tighten the fixing screw (B) while holding the wireless unit to stop it frommoving.RHold the long part of the hex key and firmly tighten the fixing screw.RCheck that the fixing screw has not become loose at regular intervals.21Getting Started
RIf the door is made of wood, make sure to use the included screws to fix the metal plate to the topside of the door. Make sure to get permission from the owner before fixing screws to the door.Important:RBecause the Wireless Camera uses double-sided tape with strong adhesion to prevent it from fallingdown, care is needed when removing the Wireless Camera from the door. (Forcibly removing thedouble-sided tape may damage the surface of the door.)22Getting Started
Monitoring the outsideYou can monitor the sounds and images from outside taken by the Wireless Camera.RThe sound from your end will not be heard at the Wireless Camera.You can perform the following operations during monitoring:RSwitching between Wide/Zoom (page 23)RRecording images (page 24)RAdjusting brightness (display)/Audio output volume/Audio input volume (page 23)MENUPRESS TALK1Press M N (Monitor button).RThe outside image will be shown on the display, and you will hear the sound from outside.RTo speak to the other party at the Wireless Camera, press MPRESS TALKN.You can speak to the other party by pressing and holding MPRESS TALKN.R appears on the display.RYou cannot hear the sound from the other party when MPRESS TALKN is pressed.You can hear the sound from other party by releasing MPRESS TALKN.R disappears from the display.RThe sound from your end will not be heard at the Wireless Camera.2To end operations, press M N (Monitor button).Note:RMonitoring lasts for about 20 seconds after M N (Monitor button) is pressed.However, if operations are performed during monitoring, monitoring can be extended to a maximum of3 minutes.RAt night or at other times when the area around the Wireless Camera becomes dark, the followingoccur:– The image quality is reduced.– Images are automatically brightened to make it easier to see the face of the other party. Althoughimages may appear to be washed out, this is not a malfunction.Adjusting brightness (display)/Audio output volume/Audio input volume1Press MMENUN while monitoring.2Press MDN or MCN to select the desired item (such as brightness).3Press MFN or MEN to adjust it.Manipulating displayed images with Wide/Zoom and Pan/TiltDuring monitoring, the display can be temporarily switched between Wide/Zoom, and the Zoom positioncan be changed with pan/tilt operations.23How to use
Wide display (default setting) Zoom display1Press and hold M N (Monitor button) for about 3 seconds when in the Wide display.RThe display is switched to the Zoom display.RTo switch back to the Wide display, press and hold MN (Monitor button) for about 3 secondsagain.2To change the Zoom position with Pan/Tilt, press MDN, MCN, MFN, or MEN when in the Zoom display.RThe Zoom position changes each time MDN, MCN, MFN, or MEN is pressed.Example:BAIn the illustration above, the Zoom position is shown in gray.– Press MFN 1 time: the Zoom position is moved to (A).– Press MCN 1 time: the Zoom position is moved to (B).RThe Zoom position can be moved in the direction of the symbols shown on the screen.Note:RPerforming the above operations only temporarily switches between Wide/Zoom displays. Therefore,images will be displayed according to the default settings the next time images are monitored.
