Setup and Use
Congratulations
! You’ve selected a Gates product that will provide years of value and
reliable service. This monitor was designed for operation with a variety of cameras and
housings. Please read through this entire guide to become familiar with the Gates
External Color Monitor. The following setup guidelines will explain how to prepare and
use the EM419 and housing so you’ll get the best results from your video endeavors.
Before You Begin
Every Gates housing is pressure tested before leaving the factory to assure a watertight
seal. The EM419 is shipped with batteries installed and is ready to use. Rough or
abusive handling during shipment however, could have caused unnoticed damage after
leaving the factory. Please carefully inspect the contents of the package and the EM419
for any sign of damage during shipment. If damage is suspected, contact Gates directly
for further action.

these settings.
