THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INSTALLATION  
For best performance, follow these simple guidelines:

For best transmission, avoid installations where there are thick walls or major  
obstructions between the camera and the LCD monitor.  
Ensure there are no obstructions in the camera's view, to maximize viewing area.

INSTALLING THE CAMERA  
1. Unpack the camera.  
2. Decide whether the camera will be wall-mounted or sit on a desk/table top. If wall  
mounting, use the mounting hardware. The camera can be adjusted for either  
mounting scenario by rotating the camera to the required position.  
3. Decide whether to connect using AC power or 9 volt battery. If using a battery,  
connect the 9V battery to the battery adapter, then connect it to the power jack of  
the camera. If using the camera power adapter, just connect the power jack. Make  
sure the camera is positioned no more than 5 1/2 feet from an AC power outlet.  
4. Select the camera operating channel on the slide switch on side of the housing.  
Move the switches to positions 1,2, or 3.  
The camera (Transmitter) installation is now complete.  
INSTALLING THE LCD MONITOR  
Main Operation  
1. Plug the monitor's power supply into the power jack located inside the battery  
compartment of the monitor. The monitor can also be operated using 4-AAA batteries.  
Note: It is recommended that you use the provided AC adapter to power the monitor.  
Batteries are recommended for portability and can last up to 200 minutes.  
2. Turn on the monitor by pressing the power button on the top of the unit.  
3. To connect the monitor to a VCR or DVR for recording purposes, use the 3.5mm to  
RCA wire and connect the appropriate end to the A/V output port on the monitor, and  
the other corresponding ends to the audio and video inputs of the VCR/DVR.

Avoiding Interference  
The 2.4 GHz video signals pass easily through your home's interior walls, but the signal  
may be reflected by power wires or plumbing inside the wall. If reception is poor, moving  
the camera or monitor may fix this problem. Houses with steel frames may experience  
interference as well. Microwave ovens, cordless phones and wireless routers are the  
most common sources of interference. Try to avoid mounting the monitor near these or  
other sources of RF interference.  
ADVANCED FEATURES  
Multi-Camera Operation  
The GX5204 is designed to work with up to 3 cameras. Additional cameras are sold  
separately (indoor - WSE103C / outdoor - WSE201C).  
*IMPORTANT  
When using more than one camera, make sure you assign each camera a specific  
channel (1-3). The channel switch is located on the front of the camera.  
Accordingly the DIP switch located on the back of the monitor should be adjusted to  
reflect the channel in use.

OPERATING MODES  
The system can be set to operate in one of 3 modes: SCAN, AUTO or MANUAL. The  
desired operating mode can be selected using the buttons on the front panel of the  
monitor.  
Scan  
Pressing the SCAN button places the system in scan mode. The monitor's screen will go  
blank (standby mode) while the system continuously scans active cameras. Press the  
MANUAL or AUTO button to cancel this mode.  
Auto  
Pressing the AUTO button places the system into auto mode. In this mode, the system  
automatically rotates through all active cameras. To avoid searching the channels that do  
not have cameras/transmitters assigned to them, set those corresponding dip switches  
(located on the back panel of the monitor) to the OFF position.  
The dwell/cycle time (time taken to switch between cameras) is preset to four seconds  
and can be adjusted between 2-30 seconds. To adjust the dwell/cycle time, hold down  
both the AUTO and MANUAL buttons simultaneously. The monitor will chime for each  
second it is adding to the dwell time. Release the buttons, and the LED light will flash for  
each second that was added to the dwell time. Increasing the dwell/cycle time past 30  
seconds will revert it back to 2 seconds.  
Manual  
To view a specific camera on the monitor, press the MANUAL button. The monitor will  
switch to a different camera each time the MANUAL button is pressed. To avoid  
searching the channels that do not have cameras assigned to them, set those  
corresponding dip switches (located on the back panel of the monitor) to the OFF  
position.  
CONNECTING TO A VCR  
You can connect a VCR to the system to allow recording of your camera footage. To  
connect the receiver to a VCR for recording purposes, use the RCA adapter cable and  
connect the appropriate ends to the A/V Out jack on the receiver, and the other  
corresponding ends to the audio and video inputs of the VCR.
