22、PARATION INSTALLING ALKALINE BATTERIES WARNING! NDO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERIES IN A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT WHERE SPARKS COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. NNEVER DISCARD OLD BATTERIES IN FIRE BECAUSE EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN CAUSE BATTERIES TO EXPLODE. 1To remove the battery cover, slide the cover outwa

23、rd while slightly pushing on the grooves on the cover. 2Insert four AA (LR6) alkaline batteries. Be sure to match the battery polarities with those marked on the VC-H1. 3Align the three tabs on the battery cover, then slide the cover inward until the center tab clicks. Note: NIt is strongly recommen

24、ded to use high quality alkaline batteries rather than manganese batteries, to enjoy longer periods of battery life. Do not use commercially available NiCd batteries. NIf you will not use the VC-H1 for a long period, remove the batteries from the VC-H1. NDo not use different kinds of batteries toget

25、her. NWhen the battery voltage is low, replace all four old batteries with new ones. The approximate lives of alkaline batteries depending on the operation status are shown below: When the batteries become almost empty while the TX/RX indicator is green, the indicator starts blinking. Replace the ba

29、s a speaker microphone only when connected with a handy transceiver. You need not switch ON the VC-H1. 1Confirm that the power switches of both the VC-H1 and transceiver are OFF. 2Connect the appropriate end of the provided cable to the DATA port of the VC-H1. To remove the cable from the VC-H1, pul

30、l the cable connector downward while pushing its tabs from both sides. 3Connect the other end of the cable to the speaker/ microphone jacks on your handy transceiver. Note: The compatible handy transceivers are TH-26, TH-46, TH-27, TH-47, TH-28, TH-48, TH-22, TH-42, TH-77, TH-78, TH-79, and TH-G71.

31、An optional PG-4T cable is available for connecting with a TM-255, TM-455, TM-733, TM-V7, or TM-G707 transceiver. To make a cable for connecting with a TS-570 or TS-870 transceiver, you may obtain an optional connector kit (E59-0407-08) which mates with the VC-H1 DATA port. For the above options, co

32、ntact your authorized KENWOOD dealer, customer service, or service center. REMOVING/ REINSTALLING THE CAMERA UNIT Note: Turn OFF the power to the VC-H1 before removing or reinstalling the camera unit. To remove the camera unit, first turn it so that it crosses at right angles with the main unit. To

33、reinstall the camera unit, first position the port on the camera unit over the port on the main unit so that the two units cross at right angles. Note: The camera unit has a structure that allows the plug assembly to be slightly moved. This is aimed at absorbing stress to be caused when the camera u

34、nit is turned. To remove or QUICK USE If you have a handy transceiver, the steps given here will allow you to try SSTV with your friend right away. Note: To correctly receive or transmit images, you and your friend have to select the same SSTV mode. If you prefer using a mode other than Robot (color

35、) 36 which is the factory default, see “SELECTING A SSTV MODE” page 7 and “RECEIVING IMAGES” page 10. Confirm that the VC-H1 has been correctly connected with the transceiver page 5. Turn ON the power to the transceiver. Select the same frequency as the other party. On the transceiver: Slide the PWR

36、 switch upward to turn the power ON. The TX/RX indicator lights green. On the VC-H1: Press S to activate both the camera and LCD monitor. To transmit an image: While looking at the LCD monitor, turn and focus the camera onto an object. Press TX to capture and transmit the image. The TX/RX indicator

37、goes out. The TX/RX indicator lights orange while an image is being received. If the TX/RX indicator is green even when the monitor is deactivated by the Battery Saver page 11, the VC-H1 can receive an image. You need not press the PTT switch. The TX/RX indicator lights red during transmission. A ho

38、rizontal line appears and slowly moves downward to show the progress of transmission. To receive and store an image in memory: When an image signal is received, the image is displayed on the monitor. To store the received image in memory, press MR.
