Kachinko System  
The KS-1018 uses four ‘AA’ batteries. The bat-  
tery cover is located on the rear of the unit.  
Slide the catch away from the center in order  
to unlock the hinged door. Insert the batteries  
as marked on the inside of the battery com-  
partment.  
The normal precautions apply when inserting  
or replacing batteries into the KS-1018:  
Take care that the batteries are inserted  
correctly as shown in the battery compart-  
ment, with the polarity correct.  
Never mix batteries of different types, or  
discarded (or partially-discharged) and  
new (or freshly-charged) batteries.  
Always follow the battery manufacturer’s  
instructions for charging rechargeable bat-  
teries. Never attempt to recharge batteries  
which are not designed for this purpose.  
Close and latch the battery compartment.

Kachinko System  
A threaded socket on the bottom of the KS-  
1018 allows it to be used with any standard  
tripod and shoe system, if desired. Otherwise,  
standard rubber feet keep the unit steady.  
Open the four shutters at the front of the unit  
before using it, to expose the “clapperboard”  
front light:

right (as you look from the front):  
Operation  
Locate the unit where the front light is clearly  
visible by the camera.  
Make any necessary connections from the  
TONE OUT to the camera, if you are not us-  
ing the camera’s microphone.  
If you are recording the signal with the  
camera microphone, set the POWER switch  
to ON (BUZZ), otherwise set it to ON.  
Set the camera iris setting to manual. An  
automatic setting can overcompensate for  
the KS-1018’s lighting, and make it impos-  
sible to see the “clapperboard” effect on  
the target monitor.  
Make the image of the front light as large  
as possible by putting the camera close in  
front of the KS-1018. The focus of the cam-  
era is not important in this case.  
Set the MODE switch to AUTO. The main light  
lights, and the beep sounds (or the signal is  
output through the jacks). The three red LEDs

count down and when they reach the end of  
the sequence, the front light lights, and the  
beep sounds.  
This sequence is repeated as long as the unit  
is on.  
Or, if you set the MODE switch to MANU (man-  
ual), the top ONE SHOT button can be used  
to light the front light and sound the beeper  
together.  
Read the KS-1017 manual for further details  
of how to measure the delay between the video  
and audio signals when they are received.
