ATTACHING THE MIRRORED VIEWING TIP (OPTIONAL)
The only accessory included with the P16181HP is a 110° mirrored viewing tip. To
attach it to the probe:
1. Pull off the red rubber lens cap (Fig. 2, Callout 5).
2. Unscrew and remove the black metal thread protector ring
(Callout 4), as shown at right.
3. Turn the stainless steel accessory alignment ring (Callout
3) clockwise to move it away from the probe tip. Keep
turning until the ring can travel no further.
4. Screw the mirrored viewing tip onto the camera head
(Callout 2) by turning it clockwise, as shown at right. Keep
turning until the viewing tip is as far from the probe tip as
possible. In this position, it can rotate freely.
5. Press the
button to activate the two-side facing LEDs.
6. Slowly turn the mirrored viewing tip counterclockwise to move it toward the probe
tip. Once the threads of the tip grip the camera head, continue turning only until the
two LEDs are clearly visible through the gap in the tip’s housing.
7. Secure the tip with the thumb and forefinger of one hand and use your other hand
to turn the alignment ring clockwise. Keep turning the ring until its leading edge
contacts the mirrored viewing tip, locking it in place. The pair of figures below
illustrate the incorrect (left) and correct (right) orientation of the mirror with respect
to the LEDs.
Remove the blue circular protective film from the mirror by pulling on its tab with a
tweezers.
VIEWING LIVE VIDEO ON A TV MONITOR
Your DCS1800 system comes with a video cable for connecting the console to a TV or
TV monitor that uses either the NTSC or PAL analog broadcast standard. By making the
connection, you can view live video (or saved videos and pictures) on a screen larger
than the console’s.
To implement the connection in hardware, insert the stereo mini-plug of the provided
cable into the A/V Out jack of the console (Fig. 1, Callout 9). Then insert the yellow RCA
plug at the other end of the cable into the Video In jack of your TV or TV monitor, and the
white RCA plug into the left or right channel audio input jack of the TV. Be sure to set the
TV input to external video.
Live video shown on a TV monitor can be enlarged, mirrored, or enlarged and mirrored
at the same time, as it can when viewed on the console’s LCD.
