Getting Started
The VS620 has been set-up and tested at the factory before being placed into
its retail packaging.
Remove the VS620 from the packaging and place it on a level surface with the
MarCum Technologies logo facing towards you and right side up. Open the
top cover of the soft pack by lifting up on the Velcro closers on each side and
front of the soft pack. Once opened, loosen the knobs on the either side of the
gimbal bracket (at the base of the monitor) by turning each one counter-clock-
wise. Make sure to loosen the knobs a considerable distance. Than depress
both knobs by pushing inwards and hold in place. This releases the lock on
the monitor angle. While depressing the knobs with the base of your palms,
use฀the฀index฀fingers฀of฀each฀hand฀and฀gently฀lift฀the฀monitor฀up฀to฀the฀desired฀
viewing position and release tension on the gimbal knobs. Once you have
set the monitor to the desired viewing angle, gently tighten the knobs until
they are snug. The battery, camera and cable are now accessible behind the
monitor. It’s easiest to remove the Velcro straps and unzip the soft pack case.
The battery has a wiring harness with “piggyback” terminals attached. The
power cord from the monitor attaches to this; the positive (red) terminal should
already be attached. You should only have to attach the negative (black)
wire to the negative terminal, and you’re ready to go. The other cord coming
from the battery is the port to attach your battery charger, more on that in the
section on charging. There is no reason for you to disconnect any of these
wires unless you are going to remove/replace the battery.
To turn ON the VS620, press the power key which is located on the keypad
on lower left side on the front of the monitor. After pressing the power key,
a฀small฀red฀LED฀indicator฀light฀–฀located฀next฀to฀the฀power฀button฀-฀will฀turn฀
ON. The monitor should now be displaying the image being transmitted from
the camera. The camera can now be unwrapped from the cable spool and
deployed into the water to the desired depth.
The depth of field (distance the camera can see underwater) depends on the
clarity of the water and available light at the depth the camera is used. In clear
water, the depth of field can be many feet but in cloudy or muddy water the
depth of view can be reduced to only a few inches due to particles suspended
in the water. Dirty or muddy water and/or low light penetration can detract
from฀the฀quality฀of฀the฀picture.฀Optimum฀image฀quality฀will฀result฀from฀clear฀
water฀and฀adequate฀light฀penetration.
