Solving Problems If you have any trouble with your system, try these simple steps first. If you still have a question, call our Customer Care Line listed on the front cover. If… Try.. The image on the display is too bright. --Adjusting the brightness on the receiver (in the system setup sub-menu). --Moving the camera’s sun shield forward over the lens. The image on the display is too dim. --Adjusting the brightness on the receiver (in the system setup sub-menu).
Unstable or Weak Signal If the video seems to lag and or the audio sounds weak, the camera and the receiver do not have a strong, clear signal between them. There are several causes for a weak signal: Possible Cause Solution The camera might be too far from the receiver. --Adjust the antennas on the receiver and the camera. Often, changing the angle of the antenna can improve the signal strength. --Try moving the camera closer to the receiver.
Signal Level Icon Data Rate (kbps) Frames per second (approx) QVGA (Zoom) VGA (Normal) Low 250~543 0~5 0~1 Zero 0~250 0 0 If the suggestions above don’t provide enough improvement in the the signal quality, you may want to run the camera at QVGA or zoom mode. When the camera is in zoom mode, it sends fewer pixels to the receiver, so the video performance is not as affected by the weak signal. Noise or Static The most likely cause of noise (flickering image) or static is interference.
