Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack 2.4 GHz  
Wireless Surveillance System. This system adds safety and  
security to your home or business. It can be used as a  
component of an audio/video observation system, or  
expanded by adding up to three additional wireless  
cameras. The audio/video jacks let you connect to a VCR  
for recording purposes. In your home, you can observe your  
baby’s room, backyard, or patio area at night or in minimal  
lighting. In your business, monitor low-light store-rooms,  
warehouses, entry/exit-ways, or a reception area from one  
central location.

Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of  
the area you want to monitor, and that is free from dust. The  
location should not be in line-of-sight with a strong light  
source or in direct sunlight.  
Have a person hold the camera against the wall at the  
selected mounting area, while another person moves the  
monitor to various locations throughout the house to check  
reception. If interference or other problems develop, refer to

In most situations, the curved side of the antennas on both  
the camera and monitor should face toward one another.  
Since all rooms are different, for optimal reception,  
additional slight pivots or rotations might be necessary. If  
the camera and monitor are less than 10 feet (3 meters)  
apart, keep the antennas flat in their casings.

Your camera and monitor might cause interference on other  
radio/TV devices even when they are operating properly. To  
determine whether your camera or monitor is causing the  
interference, turn them both off. If the interference goes  
away, your surveillance system is causing it. Try to  
eliminate the interference by:  
• Moving your camera or monitor away from the other  
device.  
• Connecting your camera or monitor to an outlet that is  
on a different electrical circuit from the other device.  
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires  
that you stop using your system.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)  
this device must accept any interference received, including  
interference that may cause undesired operation.  
%#4'  
Keep the camera and monitor dry; if they get wet, wipe them  
dry immediately. Use and store the camera and monitor  
only in normal temperature environments. Handle them  
carefully; do not drop them. Keep the camera and monitor  
away from dust and dirt, and wipe them with a damp cloth  
occasionally to keep them looking new.

If your camera or monitor is not performing as it should, take  
it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. Modifying  
or tampering with the camera’s or monitor’s internal  
components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate  
their warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate  
them.
