TRANSMITTING IMAGES

When an appropriate SSTV mode and a desired image is selected, the VC-H1 is ready to transmit images.

Note: AF Mute must be switched OFF {page 13} to transmit an image using Fast FM mode; the default is ON.

1Confirm that the VC-H1 has been correctly connected with the transceiver {page 5}.

On the transceiver:

2Turn ON the power to the transceiver.

3Select the same frequency as the other party.

On the VC-H1:

4Slide the PWR switch upward to turn the power ON.

The TX/RX indicator lights green.

5Press [MR] to recall an image to be transmitted.

The currently selected channel number appears at the top right of the monitor.

Each press of [MR] increments the channel number.

You may just look at the LCD monitor and focus the camera onto an object instead of recalling an image; you need not press [S] to capture an image.

6Press [TX] to transmit the image.

You need not press the PTT switch.

The TX/RX indicator lights red during transmission.

A horizontal line appears and slowly moves downward to show the progress of transmission.

To interrupt transmission, press [RX].

Note:

While transmitting, do not place the VC-H1 and the connection cable close to the transceiver antenna. The image on the monitor may be distorted or erased.

The VC-H1 cannot receive images while transmitting.

If no operation is performed for approximately 30 seconds after transmission, with Battery Saver ON {page 11}, the monitor is deactivated; the default is ON.

If you press [RX] after recalling an image, Battery Saver {page 11} deactivates the monitor.
