Starting from the top there are 3 buttons that are used to set the clock – the top button raises the digit being changed, the middle button lowers the digit being changed and the bottom button accesses the clock settings and confirms when the digit being set it correct. Below these buttons is a USB socket, the camera socket (LJ45 socket), and thenthe power socket.

Getting started

Connecting the Mouse

Carefully place the screen face down. Position it so that the row of 3 buttons is on the left hand edge, with the buttons furthest away from you.

The stand is in 2 parts – the leg and a twist screw with large head for turning. Align the hole in the stand with the hole in the back of the screen and then insert the screw section of the twist screw. Rotate clockwise to tighten into place.

Now stand the unit upright and plug in the camera by inserting the connector with the lever facing towards the back of the unit,into the camera socket (LJ45). Do not force the connector into the socket as it will only go one way. (Press this lever to release and disconnect the camera if required).
