6. Handle the Camera with care.
   The camera could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

7. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to the heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

Components

Assembly

1. Thread the Antenna into the Antenna Connector on the back of the Camera.
2. Adjust the Antenna to its vertical position for best transmission.

Before Mounting

1. When planning mounting location and angle:
   a. Verify that the installation surface has no hidden utility lines before drilling or driving screws.

   c. Do not install where there are thick walls or other obstructions between the Camera and Receiver.
   d. Select a location high enough so that it is out of reach of children, but still covers the desired viewing area.
   e. Do not install the Camera facing out of a window.
   f. Make sure no strong light will shine directly into Camera Lens.

Mounting to Hollow Surface

1. Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the Anchors, drill holes in the marked locations.
2. Tap Anchors into the holes until they are almost flush with the mounting surface.
3. Position the Mounting Bracket so that Mounting Holes align with anchor holes.
4. Drive Screws through mounting holes in the Base and into anchor holes until the Mounting Bracket is securely attached to the mounting surface.
5. Remove the protective film from the Lens.
6. Loosen thumbscrews, adjust the Camera as needed, then tighten thumbscrews. (See Figure E.)
