CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: Displays which wireless channel the RedAlert2 is configured
to receive. This is in no way automated, and the RedAlert2 will only receive images
from one wireless camera at a time. To change the channel that the RedAlert2 is
monitoring, press the SW button.
SW: Changes the wireless channel that the RedAlert2 will monitor. This is the only
way to change the wireless channel – there is no function to cycle automatically, as
the RedAlert2 was, simply, not designed for use with multiple wireless cameras.
MODE: Switches between RECORDING MODE and PLAYBACK MODE.
REC: Commands the RedAlert2 to capture a still image or video immediately, using
the current recording mode and quality settings. In PLAYBACK MODE, it acts as
the play / pause button.
DISP: Changes the viewing mode between wired and wireless cameras, and engages PIP
MODE. More on PIP MODE can be found on page 9.
ZOOM: Increases the digital magnification of the image coming from the RedAlert2.
Press multiple times to scroll through magnification options. Use the arrow buttons
whilst zoomed in to move the view around the image. In PLAYBACK MODE, this
acts as the stop button.
ARROWS: Used to navigate when in the MENU, and as SHORTCUT buttons at
other times.
(Enter): Used to enter the MENU, and to select items whilst in the MENU.
SD CARD SLOT: Where you put the SD cards you want to record to. The RedAlert2
can record to cards conforming to the SD and SDHC standards. Be sure that the
write protection tab on the SD card inserted is set to off.
Power / Record LED: This LED will light up when the RedAlert2 is connected to
power. Whilst the RedAlert2 is recording, this LED will flash.
