SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGE CONSOLE AND PROBE BATTERIES
To prepare to power the system on for the first time,
securely attach the P18HPART probe controller to the
back of the DCS1800 console using the two motions
shown at right. Plug one end of the supplied AC
adapter/battery charger into a 110VAC receptacle. Then
swing the black rubber protective flap away from the
right side of the DCS1800 console to expose the AC
adapter jack (Fig. 1, Callout 10). Insert the cylindrical
plug at the end of the adapter/charger cable into the AC
adapter jack. This will begin charging the console’s
battery and the probe’s battery at the same time. Next,
power on the probe by rotating the probe controller’s
thumbwheel (Fig. 2, Callout 14) downward until you feel
and hear a click.

Next, press the red the button on the console (Fig. 1, Callout 3) and hold it for at least
five seconds. The LCD will illuminate and briefly show a battery charge indicator and
two SD card status advisories (see page 9 for details) superimposed on video being
captured in real time by the camera at the end of the probe. After a few seconds, only
live video will remain.
Practice using the thumbwheel on the probe controller to adjust the intensity of the
camera’s lighting. In a brightly lit room, moving the thumbwheel has a big effect on the
brightness of the LEDs at the tip of the probe, but a much smaller effect on the
brightness of video on the screen. The on-screen impact of changing brightness is more
pronounced in dark environments.
To power off the DCS1800 console, push the button and hold it for at least five
seconds.
It will take several hours to fully charge the console and probe batteries the first time.
You cannot replace either battery, which can only be replaced by General-authorized
service personnel. Do not open the case of either component in an attempt to
