AA battery pack. This dramatically simplifies wiring, lowers the risk of detection, and increases the chances of operational success. For best results, DTC recommends the use of its VidiWIRE on body dual patch antenna system with phase matching module, and a DTC diversity receiver.
Description Remote Switching Capability • You may turn the device ON remotely, by attaching a switch to one of the pins on the Multi I/O connector. DTC provides hard-wired and wireless switches for this application. External Power Loop Through • The power applied to the Multi I/O pin is automatically looped through the unit, and available on a second pin to power a remote device, such as a camera.

ANT-10 9dBic Wideband Panel Connector: TNC Female DTC has developed a series of circularly polarized panel antennas for use in wideband transmit and receive applications from 1.7 to 2.7 GHz. The ANT-10-R is a very wide bandwidth, unidirectional log-spiral array. This antenna has useful gain, with some sidelobe variation, to 4 GHz.
Introduction PROGRAMMING DTC has built in a lot of flexibility in the programming options you have on the VBL and VBS series transmitters. You can choose to use some, all or none of this flexibility. When you order a VBL or VBS transmitter, DTC will factory program your frequen- cies at no additional charge to you.

APPENDIX A Bodyworn applications: When the VBS/VBL-250 video transmitter is to be worn on the body, only the DTC VidiWire antenna system should be used. This antenna has been extensively tested and found to be safe when used as directed. The antennas used in the VidiWire system are clearly labeled as to which side of the antenna should be placed against the body.
