QUICK START

VidiVest Palladium

The vest is shipped with all components installed and ready for
use. Be careful with the button camera when working on the rear
pockets where most of the components are located. Setup the vest
on a clean, soft cloth on a tabletop for best results.

1

. Inspect the bottom rear pocket section of the vest. Make sure

all connectors are secure as shown in the illustration (left).
Connectors are keyed and color-coded.

WARNING

: Do not apply power to the transmitter unless an

antenna or non-radiating load is connected to the Antenna
SMA connector.

Connections

• Camera to Transmitter: 3-Pin to 3-Pin
• Audio (if used): Two Lemo connectors (Push/Pull locking)
• Power (Battery pack to TX): 2-Pin to 2-Pin
• Antenna: SMA Male to TX SMA Connector

2

. Remove the battery holder by carefully releasing the locking connector.

Each section of the battery holder has a cover, which must be removed
with a Phillips screwdriver to allow the batteries to be inserted or
changed.

3

. Install 9 NEW Lithium AA size batteries, observing proper polarity and

replace the screws for each section.

4

. The transmitter has been factory programmed to eight preset channels.

Make sure the channel frequency selected matches the receiver’s
frequency. Slide the control panel door open (to the right). If you need
to change the operating channel, press the CONFIG button to cycle
through the 8 available channels indicated by the channel number
LEDs. Refer to the Programming section on page 10 for more
information on channel settings. When you change the channel
configuration, the RF transmission is automatically switched OFF to
prevent accidental interference.
