Outside of water it should read 0. If it does not read 0, a simple powering
off of the system and then powering it back on will reset the reading to 0.
The units can be changed from Standard to Metric, or vice versa in the
MONITOR SETTING menu.

Camera Direction

The direction the camera is facing is displayed in the upper right hand
corner of the screen. This direction will display as directions of the compass
(N, NE, E, etc.) If the camera direction is not accurate it can be calibrated
by following the instructions in the SYSTEM SETTING menu.
NOTE:
The camera direction will only be accurate when the camera is in a
horizontal viewing position.
Temperature
The current temperature of the water will display in the lower left hand
corner of the screen. The units can be changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius,
or vice versa in the MONITOR SETTING menu. The camera will not detect
the air temperature correctly.

OPERATING POSITIONS

Handheld
The RECON5+ is a palm-sized system with full sized performance. For
handheld operation simply remove the RECON5+ from the included
soft-pack. Set the camera clip at the desired viewing position and deploy.
Carefully watch the monitor image to avoid damaging the camera in rocks,
submerged vegetation, brush piles or other harmful environments that
could snag, wedge or damage the camera or cable; doing so will void the
warranty.
Body Worn
The Soft-pack supplied with the RECON5+ is designed to allow for hands
free use of the monitor allowing the angler to focus on camera depth and
positioning. Adjustable straps allow for comfort and viewing distance. The
Camera can be deployed and accessed from the rear of the soft-pack,
while the monitor rests securely within a comfortable viewing distance, with
full access to the control panel.
You can also use the Velcro strap on the Cable storage spool as an arm or
wrist mount for increased portability.
Mounted
The RECON5+ features a ¼ 20 insert as well as additional inserts that
allow for limitless mounting options (Mounts not included). These are
located behind the cable storage reel. The ¼"-20 insert is the most
common mounting option for photo/video equipment. The insert port is
located in the center of the cable storage reel and is accessible by
removing the Velcro strap. With the Velcro strap removed the ¼"-20 insert
will be exposed, as will the 4 surrounding inserts that provide limitless
mounting solutions from aftermarket suppliers. You may want to remove
the camera storage reel when used in a mounted solution.
