Connect the other end of the adapter to a 120 volt AC (standard indoor) power outlet.
2. Press and hold the
POWER
button on the top of the monitor for 3 - 4 seconds to power it up.
3. The monitor displays the Uniden

screen for a few seconds and then transitions to the
LIVE view.
The screen remains dark until the cameras are powered up.

General Guidelines
The Uniden Guardian GC45 cameras included with your monitor are weatherproof and have an
IP66 rating. Water can be sprayed on them and they will still work; however, the cameras cannot be
submerged.
Although the cameras can be exposed directly to the rain, it is recommended that, if they are used
outdoors, they be mounted under some type of cover like a patio overhang or eave. As rainwater
drops start to dry on the camera glass, it can create spots that will reflect the light from the infrared
LEDs used for night vision, thus causing lower quality video.
Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reflect light from the
infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft cloth.
Placement Considerations
Consider the following when placing cameras:
• The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and monitor is best.
— Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.
— Placement next to windows allows better transmission.
