GIMBAL MOUNT OPTION
You may want to mount the Aqua-Vu monitor on the console (or in the
electronics locker) of your boat, or somewhere other than on the portable
carrying shuttle that comes with the unit. You can easily make the switch.
You'll need a Gimbal Bracket that can be purchased from Aqua-Vu dealers or
online at www.aquavu.com. With a Gimbal Bracket in the desired place,
loosen the two thumbscrews holding the monitor to the Aqua-Vu Z unit,
remove the monitor, and (using the two thumbscrews) attach it to the Gimbal
Bracket.
VIDEO RECORDING WITH THE AQUA-VU Z
Your Aqua-Vu Z's "VIDEO-OUT" jack is for connecting your unit to a
handheld camcorder, or to a larger external monitor. Your Aqua-Vu will
work with any camcorder or any monitor that accepts the NTSC video signal
(the North American standard) and has a "VIDEO-IN" jack. Use an
RCA-style patch cord that comes with most camcorders (also available at most
consumer electronics stores.) For 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 should be able to watch your Aqua-Vu monitor and
record at the same time.
CARING FOR YOUR AQUA-VU Z
Your Aqua-Vu underwater viewing system requires minimal "common sense"
maintenance.
1. The battery requires regular charging. (See battery charging
instructions.) Always disconnect the red and black power leads before
charging the battery. Never charge while the unit is connected.
2. Clean the monitor and camera lens periodically by using mild
dishwashing soap, warm water, and a very soft cloth. Do NOT use
window cleaner or alcohol-based products, since they may cause
permanent fogging.
3. Periodically run your fingers over the entire length of the cable,
feeling for nicks or other cable damage. A damaged cable should be
returned to the factory for repair. (See the Service section of this manual.)
4. As a precautionary measure, dry off your monitor after it gets wet from
rain or boat spray.
5. Never tug on fishing line that accidentally gets wrapped around the
camera cable. Line can cut and damage the cable.
