The camera is equipped with the AUTO / SET White Balance. AUTO mode detects the color-
temperature of a subject to automatically adjust White Balance. The SET mode locks the White
Balance, which is good for viewing in fixed color-temp illumination, such as the Blue and IR illumination.
The White Balance should be used in the SET mode under most conditions. Each time the V5LE is
used set up the White Balance. To set up: start in AUTO mode while viewing a well-lit white surface
illuminated with white light, then push the switch to change to SET mode.

video source then the switch should be set on VS. If an auxiliary video camera is the desired video

The LCD will display the system voltage. If the system is running on external AC power the display will
show a constant voltage of about 12VDC. However, if the system is running on the internal battery pack
then the display will show the voltage of the battery. When the battery pack reaches the end of its
charge,
the LCD will display “LOW BATTERY” and the yellow LED (next to the LCD display) will flash. At
this point the system should be turned off and the battery recharged (see Battery and Battery Charger
Description and Operation). If the system is allowed to run longer, the red LED (next to the LCD display)
will start flashing and soon after the system will not function properly as the battery voltage will be too low.
