OWNER'S MANUAL VR31A XC16A XM10A MODEL VK58A (INCLUDES XC16A CAMERA, XM10A ADDRESSABLE POWER SUPPLY, AND VR31A VIDEO RECEIVER) INTRODUCTION Your Wireless Camera Kit consists of a Color Video Camera with built-in 2.4 GHz Video Sender, and a Video Receiver unit which you connect to a TV anywhere in your home (up to 100 ft. away from the Camera). The Camera/Video Sender converts the video and audio signals from the camera into a radio signals and transmits them (even through walls) to the Video Receiver. The Video Receiver converts the signals back to video and audio signals which are fed through a cable to your TV's COAX or A/V input jacks. Also included is a remote controlled power supply, Model XM10A, which lets you turn the camera on and off by remote control from any X10 remote control (sold separately). You can purchase additional cameras and power supplies so you can have a multiple camera system. You can then set all cameras to the same channel as the receiver and turn the cameras on and off remotely so as to only ever have one camera turned on at a time. There are just a few simple steps to follow to hook up your Camera and Video Sender kit. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1.
