NOTE! The Monitor Pack will not recharge the battery;
the battery must be removed from the Monitor
Pack for recharging. Use only the charger spec-
ified by the battery manufacturer!
Unwrap the Interconnect Cord from its holder on the
drum and plug its connector into the matching SeeSnake
System connector on the Monitor Pack. To join the con-
nectors, make sure the red arrow on the connector is
facing up, push the connector straight in, and tighten the
locking sleeve. (Figure 10)
Figure 10 – Tightening the Locking Sleeve
If the connector does not push in easily, make sure the
guide pin on the Interconnect Cord's connector is aligned with the guide socket on the Monitor Pack's connector.

twisting the connector body inside the locking
sleeve will damage the connector. When unplug-
ging you may wiggle a little, if necessary, but do
not bend or twist.

from the Monitor Pack whenever moving or trans-
porting the system.

Operation

Press and release the multi-function button on the back
of the Monitor Pack (Figure 6) to turn the power ON. The
red LED indicator will light. You should see an image on
the monitor screen in a few seconds. If you do not,
check to make sure the monitor's power switch is turned
ON. To turn the system OFF, press and quickly release
the multi-function button.
Put the camera head into the access point and adjust the
camera's lighting if necessary. To adjust the camera's
lighting, press and hold the red multi-function button.
After about four seconds, the red LED indicator on the
Monitor Pack will begin flashing rapidly. This indicates
that the camera's LED lighting elements are cycling
through their brightness levels. When the image inside
the pipe looks good, release the red multifunction button.
TIP: When the Monitor Pack is turned ON, the cam-
era's lighting will always be at full brightness, and in
most cases will not require adjustment.
If necessary, you may adjust the monitor's image controls
to further improve the picture. The image controls are lo-
cated on either the bottom front (B&W) or bottom rear
(color) of the monitor. See Figure 5.

Video Recording

When the Interconnect Cord is plugged into the Monitor
Pack, the Video In/Out jack functions as a Video Out
jack. An RCA cable can be used to connect this jack to
the "Video In" jack of a VCR for recording, or to an-
other monitor. If connecting to another monitor, and it has
a High Z/Low Z switch, place the switch in the High Z po-
sition for the best video quality.
