Using the Aqua-Vu Controls

The Aqua-Vu has the following controls located below the monitor and on the base.

On/Off

 — The ON/OFF Power button turns 

the monitor and camera On or Off.  After 
tuning on the Aqua-Vu, the screen may take 
several seconds to appear.  When On, you will 
see the LED, above the button, illuminate. 
Press and hold the power button until the 
LED turns on/off.

Video Out 

— The “Video Out” jack is for 

connecting your Aqua-View to a hand-held 
camcorder, or to a larger external monitor. 
Your Aqua-Vu will work with any camcorder 
or any monitor that accepts the NTSC video 
signal, and has a standard “Video-In” jack. Use any RCA-style patch cord that comes with 
most camcorders (also available at most consumer electronics stores.) For external video 
recording, plug one end of the cord into the “Video Out” jack on the Aqua-Vu; plug the 
other end into the “Video-In” jack on your camcorder. You can now watch your Aqua-Vu 
monitor and record at the same time. 

Power – 

This jack allows you to

 

plug in the 12-volt power cord with cigarette adapter 

(included).  Using this power cord provides a trickle charge to the battery and will power 
the unit.  The unit must have a functioning battery to operate.  If the battery is completely 
discharged, it will take a few minutes to re-charge the battery enough to power on the 
unit.

Input allows you to plug in the battery charger for easy charging.  NOTE:  It is not 

necessary to remove battery cover to recharge battery.  Remove battery cover only when 
replacing or servicing battery.

Monitor buttons will be backlit if ambient light is low.  Auto on/off in approximately 4 

seconds.
