OPTIMIZING THE WIRELESS CAMERA SYSTEM
The 2.4GHz video signals pass easily through your home's interior walls, but the signal may be reflected
by power wires or plumbing inside the wall. Usually a slight adjustment of the Monitor and/or Camera
antenna will improve reception. Take care not to force the antennas past their lock positions. Sound level
can be adjusted using the volume control knob on the side of the Monitor. Adjust brightness/contrast as
required using controls on the rear of the Monitor. If needed the vertical hold can also be adjusted at the
rear. The most common source of interference are microwave ovens. Try to avoid mounting the Monitor
near a microwave oven or other source of RF interference such as cordless phones.
SWITCHING THE CAMERA ON/OFF
To preserve battery power, the camera can be switched
off while not in use. Simply turn the antenna position to
the OFF position as shown to the right. When the camera
is turned on, allow 60 seconds for the motion sensor and
night vision to warm up. During this period, the motion sensor
will be illuminated red.
MULTI-CAMERA OPERATION
The GE SmartHome™ Wireless Camera System
is designed to work with up to (3) Cameras. Additional Cameras
are sold separately (GESECWBWIN- 2 ). IMPORTANT: When using more than one Camera, make sure each
Camera is assigned to a specific channel by adjusting the corresponding DIP switch down.

Accordingly the DIP switch located on the back of the Monitor should be adjusted to reflect the channel in use.
MOTION-SENSING CAMERAS
GE SmartHome™ Cameras are equipped with a motion sensor or PIR. When a Camera detects motion, a
red light flashes on the Camera and an audio alert sounds on the Monitor. The volume control for the alert
is on the rear of the Monitor.
OPERATING MODES
The system can be set to operate in one of three modes: SCAN, AUTO
or MANUAL. The desired operating mode can be selected using the
buttons on the front panel of the Monitor.
SCAN
Pressing the SCAN button places the system in Scan mode. The Monitor screen blanks into a standby
mode while the system continuously scans active cameras. If a camera detects motion, the monitor
displays the camera picture and the beeper will sound. Four minutes after the last detection, the screen
returns to standby mode and the Monitor resumes scanning. While in SCAN mode, the LED light on the
monitor is yellow. Pressing the MANUAL or AUTO button will cancel this mode.
AUTO
Pressing the AUTO button places the system in Auto mode. In this mode, the system automatically
rotates through all active cameras. When a camera detects motion, the monitor will display the picture
from the camera for a few seconds, and the beeper will sound. To avoid searching channels that do
not have cameras/transmitters assigned to them, set the dip switches (located on the back panel of
the monitor) for those corresponding channels to the OFF position. When in the AUTO Mode, the LED
light on the Monitor is solid green.
The dwell time (time taken to switch between cameras) is preset to 4 seconds and can be adjusted
between 2-30 seconds. To adjust the dwell time , press both the AUTO and MANUAL buttons simultaneously.
Each flash of the LED increases the dwell time by one second.
MANUAL
To select a specific Camera to monitor, press the MANUAL button. The monitor will switch to a different
camera each time the MANUAL button is pressed. To avoid searching channels that do not have cameras
assigned to them, set the dip switches (located on the back panel of the monitor) for those corresponding
channels to the OFF position. When in MANUAL mode, the LED light on the monitor is solid red.
