• The K-9CMC1 is powered by four 3Volt Photo Lithium batteries. Most manufacturers of these cells designate them as size 123 or CR123A. Tactical Electronics systems draw high current, and we only recommend use of GE, SANYO, ENERGIZER, or DURACELL batteries. Testing has proven those batteries to provide the longest run time in our products.
• The diagrams on the following pages demonstrate proper battery installation and power-up for the K-9CMC1.
» Battery Compartment & Power-Up Procedure
The K-9CMC1 battery compartment is located beside the SD card slot. Open the battery door to insert both the batteries and the SD card.
The image on the left depicts the proper orientation for the batteries. Follow the diagram adhered to the K-9CMC1 for reference.
NOTE: For SD card recording, the SD card must first be inserted before powering ON the K-9CMC1.
Before powering ON the K-9CMC1 insert the camera head plug into the 12-pin jack on the K-9CMC1.
The power switch for the K-9CMC1 is located on the side of the unit. To power ON the K-9CMC1, hold down the rubber power button until the LED indicator illuminates solid red, then release. When the LED indicator turns solid green the K-9CMC1 is operational.
To power OFF the K-9CMC1 hold down the power button for 3 seconds - the LED indicator will flash blue then illuminate red to indicate power down cycle.
NOTE: During operation the LED indicator will illuminate solid red to indicate LOW BATTERY.

» Transmitting Channels
For SD card recording, the SD card must be inserted before powering ON the K-9CMC1. If an SD card is not inserted before power up, the LCD screen on the monitor will display “REC ERROR”.
NOTE: If an SD card is not inserted the K-9CMC1 will transmit video, but will not record.
DO NOT insert or eject the SD card with the K-9CMC1 powered ON; otherwise, recorded video files will not finalize and will become corrupted.
The SD card supplied with the K-9CMC1 system is already properly formatted.
In the event that the SD card needs to be reformatted make certain to reformat the SD card with the following specifications. Failure to reformat an SD card with these specifications may result in recording error(s).

TAP to change channels
To change the K-9CMC1 transmitting channel tap the POWER button 1-4 times. When the POWER button is depressed the LED will initially flash blue, followed by 1, 2, 3, or 4 green flashes. The green flashes indicate the current transmission channel.
• Depress 1 time = Channel 1 = one green flash • Depress 2 times = Channel 2 = two green flashes• Depress 3 times = Channel 3 = three green flashes • Depress 4 times = Channel 4 = four green flashes
• Tactical Electronics video systems are designed to operate interchangeably with each wireless monitor: Wrist Mounted Monitor (WMM), Handheld Monitor (HHM), Monocular Micro Viewer (MMV), Heads-Up Display (HUD), Wrist Mounted Monitor Pro (WMM Pro), or Handheld Monitor Pro (HHM Pro).
• Each monitor is programmed to receive a frequency transmitted directly from the purchased camera system. If multiple camera systems are in use, the monitors are equipped to receive separate channel frequencies in order to view and cycle between various Tactical Electronics camera systems.
» WMM Operation
The Wrist Mounted Monitor has a 3.5 inch LCD screen that displays B/W or color video transmitted from the camera source.
The monitor contains an internal receiver, and when powered “ON” automatically receives RF video signals from the chosen camera. The WMM is completely wireless and cannot be hard-wired.
» Wrist Mounted Monitor (WMM)
The Wrist Mounted Monitor is powered by two 3V Lithium batteries. The batteries are to be inserted positive (+) terminal first.
The power switch for the Wrist Mounted Monitor (left) is the top button near the battery cap. Press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds to power “ON” the WMM. The screen will display the current channel and battery power meter when the unit is “ON”.
Always remove batteries when not in use.
IMPORTANT: If lines begin to appear across the screen, the lines are most likely a sign of LOW BATTERIES.
» WMM Channel Selection
If multiple camera systems are in use, all monitors are equipped to receive four separate channel frequencies. Use the channel selector button in order to view and cycle between multiple camera systems. When toggling, the current channel will be displayed on screen.
To determine a camera’s channel frequency, simply cycle through each of the four channels until a picture is displayed on screen.

» HHM Operation
The Handheld Monitor has a 5.0" LCD screen that displays B/W or color video transmitted directly from the camera source.
It has a built-in receiver and when powered “ON” automatically receives an RF video signal until a hard-wire is plugged in or the HHM is powered “OFF”.
» Hard-wire Connection
The Handheld monitor provides a direct hard-wire connection to compatible camera systems.
NOTE: When working in extreme low light environments hard-wire the Handheld Monitor to the camera system (if hard-wire option is available with the camera system). A hard-wire connection provides a slightly brighter picture on the Handheld Monitor that will be beneficial for low light situations.
» Handheld Monitor (HHM)
The Handheld Monitor (HHM) is powered by four 3V Lithium batteries, AC, or vehicle power via cigarette lighter plug. The 3V Lithium batteries that are to be inserted negative ( - ) terminal first.
The power switch for the Handheld Monitor (left) is a rocker type. The green LED is illuminated when the unit is “ON”.
Always remove batteries when not in use.
IMPORTANT: If lines begin to appear across the screen, the lines are most likely a sign of LOW BATTERIES.

» Monocular Micro Viewer (MMV)
The MMV is powered by one 3V Lithium battery. Unscrew the battery cap [shown left] to insert the battery. The 3V Lithium battery is to be inserted according to the battery orientation diagram on the MMV. Always remove batteries when not in use.
The power button for the MMV (left) is a rubber push button on the side of the unit. The LED indicator will illuminate green and the video display will slightly illuminate when the unit is powered “ON”.
NOTE: The On Screen Display (OSD) will show a flashing battery icon when the battery is close to critically low levels.
» Wireless Video
The MMV has a built-in receiver, and when powered “ON” automatically receives RF video signals from the chosen camera. The MMV is completely wireless and cannot be hard-wired.
If multiple camera systems are in use, all monitors are equipped to receive four separate channel frequencies. Use the channel selector button in order to view and cycle between multiple camera systems. When toggling, the current channel will be displayed on screen. To determine a camera’s channel frequency, simply cycle through each of the four channels until a picture is displayed on screen.
NOTE: Any time the channel is changed on the MMV the shutdown timer is reset. Since the initial press of the channel button resets the shutdown timer and displays the current channel, it is necessary to press the channel button more than once to change channels.
» Automatic Shutdown
To preserve battery life the MMV will automatically shut off if the unit is idle for approximately 90 seconds. When the unit is nearing automatic shutdown the OSD will show a series of disappearing dots as a countdown timer.
To prevent automatic shutoff: Press the channel button once to reset shutdown timer, allowing another 90 seconds of video display. A single press of the channel button will also display the current channel the MMV is receiving.
» LED Indicator
• The LED will momentarily light up blue when the unit is first powered on, then will illuminate solid green.
• The LED will illuminate blue whenever the channel button is pressed.
• The LED will momentarily illuminate red when the unit is powering down.
• The LED will illuminate solid red when the battery is low.
