in this unit. Changing the receiver to another channel/frequency or setting the Wireless Network (i.e. Wireless  
Access Point) to a frequency further away from the camera’s set frequency can alleviate this problem. Consult the  
documentation of your Wireless LAN device for information on how to change the transmission frequency.

Troubleshooting, Hints and Tips  
Setting Up Your System  
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 channels and check the signal quality again.  
Camera with Stand  
Large Plug  
Power Adaptor  
(12V)  
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.  
ON/OFF  
Switch  
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.  
DC 12V

Channel Selector  
Button  
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 2-3m (6-9ft) range of the Cameras IR LEDs or place the Camera nearer to the object until a clear  
picture is displayed on the Monitor.

FCC Notice  
The Camera features an omni-directional antenna which is most effective when used in the  
UPRIGHT position.  
We, Swann Communications of 10612 Shoemaker Avenue, Bldg A, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 USA,  
declare under our sole responsibility that the product:  
SW-P-WOC2  
1)  
Connect both the Camera and the Receiver to their respective power adaptors.  
This product meets the requirements specified in Part 15 of FCC Regulation. Operation rests with the  
following two conditions:  
(1) The equipment should not cause any harmful interference;  
*IMPORTANT: The camera requires an 8- 9V power supply, the receiver uses a 12V power  
supply.*  
2)  
3)  
Connect the Receiver to the equipment you wish to view the camera on (monitor, AV TV, VCR,  
DVR etc) using the supplied RCA-RCA cable and then turn the receiver ON via the switch on the  
left.  
(2) The equipment must receive and process any interference, including any possible interference  
caused by operation mistakes. After testing the product, we confirm that it complies with the provision for  
class C digital equipment in the 15th part in FCC regulation; and the receiver complies with the  
limitations for class B digital equipment in Part 15 of FCC regulation. The product generates, applies and  
emits radio waves. It might cause harmful interferences to wireless communication if not be installed and  
used following the description of the manual. The product may cause interference in residential area, and  
the customer should take remedies to eliminate the interference at their own costs. If the product causes  
any harmful interference to wireless equipment or disturbs the receiving of TV signals (it can be identified  
by turning on and off the product), you can solve the trouble by following methods:  
(1) Re-adjust the product or put it in another place;  
Direct the antenna of the receiver toward the antenna of the Camera. The antenna can be  
swivelled to face in the appropriate direction to a maximum of 180° (90° either side of centre).  
Once the antenna is correctly positioned, check the image for clarity and make minor adjustments  
to obtain the best picture. In some cases to obtain the best picture you will also need to adjust the  
position of the Camera and Receiver to suit your particular situation. Try slightly different locations  
for either unit to achieve optimal results.  
4)  
If you are mounting the camera to a ceiling or eave, unscrew the camera stand from the camera  
body and carefully screw it into position on the top side of the camera using the two holes that are  
provided or the picture will appear on your screen upside down.  
(2) Extend the distance between the equipment interfered and the product; and  
(3) Refer to dealers or experienced radio electrician for help.
