Poor Picture: Realign antennas until image quality improves, slightly adjust the position of the Night Hawk Camera
or Receiver. Change the location of the Camera, or use a different Camera in the location experiencing interference
that is on a different channel. In some cases interference may be caused by another device on a similar frequency to
the channel you are using. Change to one of the other 4 available channels and check the signal quality again.
Lines only - no clear picture: Check to confirm there is no microwave oven or other 2.4GHz equipment
operating close by ie; Cordless Telephones, Wireless Baby Monitors, Wireless LAN equipment etc. Make sure the
Receiver is on the correct channel for the particular camera.
Picture ghosting or interference: Some home appliances such as Wireless LANs, 2.4GHz portable telephones
and Microwave ovens operate on or near the 2.4GHz frequency. If you receive interference from such an appliance,
try moving the Camera or Receiver to location further away from the appliance or in the event of interference from a
Wireless LAN device, try changing the Wireless LAN to a different channel to improve the signal quality.
No picture: Check the receiver to confirm it is turned ON and make sure the A/V connection of the Receiver is not
plugged into the Audio Out socket. Make sure the Receiver is on the correct channel. Check that the channel on the
receiver is the set to the same as the camera you wish to view. Check to ensure the camera is plugged in and has
power (cup your hands around the camera and you should see a faint red glow from the IR LEDs). You can use the
infrared lighting facility to pick up a picture inside a dark environment. If your monitor does not display a picture in a
dark environment, check the camera to be certain that infrared lighting is within range of the subject. Try to move the
item within the 6-9ft (2-3m) range of the Cameras IR LEDs or place the Camera nearer to the object until a clear
picture is displayed on the Monitor.
