Fit the other end of the Receiver Video/Audio Lead to the direct input video
and audio connectors of your TV. Connect the colour you connected to
“VIDEO OUT” on the Receiver to Video In on the TV, and the colour you
connected to “AUDIO OUT” on the Receiver to the Audio In socket on the
TV.
As an alternative, you may prefer to connect this cable to the Video/Audio
connectors on a video recorder or VCR.
If you only have a SCART input socket for your TV or recorder, you can fit
the cable through an appropriate adaptor (see our accessories range).
The cable (and the signal it carries) is not suitable for direct connection to
your TV aerial or antenna socket.
Turn the TV on, and switch it to the direct video/audio input.
Move the switch on the Battery Box to the CONT position. Set the Channel
Switch on the Receiver to the channel number indicated by the label on the
back of the camera. You should see the base of the Nest Box on your TV
screen, and hear through the TV if you tap the box. If you didn’t notice which
channel it was set to, simply move the switch in turn to each of the 4 channels
until you see the picture.
Make any final adjustments to the camera angle..
Before leaving the factory, the camera focus has been adjusted to a little
above the floor of the nest box. You can adjust the camera focus by turning
the lens turret. The camera is a very delicate part of the system so please do
this gently, and be very careful not to touch a finger on the lens.

Fit Nest Box Outside
You are now ready to set up the nest box, battery box and solar panel in posi-
tion outside.
First find a promising location. Nest Boxes are normally fitted (with the lid
uppermost) to a tree or wall, about 2 to 4 metres high from the ground. How-
ever, depending on the situation, it is generally OK to fit the box higher. For
further advice on siting nest boxes, you may find it helpful to check with the
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds or the British Trust for Ornithology.
It is generally best to place the box so it does not get sun all day or too much
