Gently pull the camera unit out of wall recess with the handle provided.

There are 6 objects to turn on, and they each turn on in different ways.  They must all be turned-on for this equipment to function properly.

1) Turn on the light-switch labeled "Local Reporter Flat-Panel Lights" on the opposite wall.

2) Turn on the wall mounted Program Out monitor by pressing the button on the bottom right-hand side.

3) Turn on the top, shelf-mounted Teleprompter monitor by pressing the button on the right side.  This button is a little difficult to find.

4) Turn on the lower, Local Reporter monitor by touching the power symbol on the bottom right side.

Next, we're going to set up the Live Reporter kit

To set up a Wired Lav microphone, you will need:

  • a Wired Lavalier microphone kit
  • a AA battery that should be included with your microphone
  • an XLR cable.

Remove the lavalier mic from the case, and unscrew the metal body to open it up.

Place the AA battery inside the mic, and screw it back together.

Plug the XLR cable into the microphone.

Place the mic clip on the microphone if it is not already on the mic.

Clip the mic to your subject's chest at approximately the center of their sternum.
If the microphone is not on your subject's body (ie: in their hand), it will not pickup low-frequency sound correctly.

Plug the opposite end of the XLR into the Mic plate labeled Mic 1

Optional: Use Mic 2 for a second microphone on a second reporter.
