1. Place the monitor in a location with clear reception from your camera(s).
2. If you are using the monitor as a stand-alone unit, flip out the stand on the back of the monitor
and extend the antenna. Connect an AC adapter to the power input on the side of the receiver.
If you are using the monitor in the cradle, insert it into the cradle and connect an AC adapter to
the input jack on the back of the cradle.
3. Plug the power plug into a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet or surge protector.
4. Press and hold the power button to turn the unit on or off. Let the monitor charge for 6 hours
prior to first time use so the built-in rechargeable monitor battery is fully charged. DO NOT
remove the power cable from the monitor/cradle during the initial charge process. After the
initial charge, recharge the monitor as needed.
5. Out of range displays until you turn on the camera.
Camera INstaLLatIoN
The UBR243 camera and mounting clip are a complete unit. The UBR243 camera does come with a
separate suction cup bar. With it installed, you can mount the camera on glass or smooth metallic
surfaces.
Placement Considerations
•
The camera included with your monitor is NOT weatherproof; it is an indoor camera.
•
The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and monitor is best. Walls, especially brick and
concrete, can affect reception quality.
•
•
Avoid having a direct light source in view of the camera (ceiling or floor lamps).
Carefully plan where and how the camera will be positioned, and where you will route the cable
that connects the camera to the power adapter.
9
•
•
When you are positioning the camera, bring the monitor along; it’s much easier to get the
camera into the right position when you have the display handy. Check the image on the
monitor before you install the camera.
Out of range displays when the camera is out of range, turned off, or unsuccessfully paired to the
monitor. It also displays when the monitor is out of range.
You can install additional cameras (maximum of 4 cameras). When adding cameras that
were not included in the original box, you will need to pair the cameras with the monitor.
Refer to page 38.
Wall mount
The UBR243 camera mounting clip has two slots that fit over screws to mount the unit on the wall.
1. Mark the position of the screw holes on the wall.
2. Drill holes and insert the anchors and screws provided.
Be sure to leave room for the mounting clip to fit over the
WALL
screw heads.
3. Place the mounting clip over the installed screws and push it
downwards, locking it into place.
4. Adjust the camera as needed.
suction mount
1. Insert the suction base into the mounting clip as shown.
2. Firmly press the camera with the suction base attached onto glass or
metallic surfaces.
3. Adjust the camera as needed.
10
4. Clip-mount
Clip the UBR243 on ledges and shelves.
1. Press the mounting clip as shown.
2. Place the unit over the mounting surface and release.
3. Adjust the camera as needed.
Connect Power
1. Insert the AC adapter power plug into the camera’s DC
adapter input jack.
2. Plug the other end into a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet or surge protector. The
red charging LED turns on.
3. Press PoWer. The green power LED turns on and the monitor now displays camera video. If it
doesn’t, try reconnecting the AC adapter, making sure the power outlet isn’t controlled by a
wall switch.
