The REC light on the remote will be RED when recording and GREEN when in standby. Use the (3) release button to remove the remote when you’re ready to remove it from the mount.
To raise the Quick Scope pole, (1) first remove the Velcro strap. Then (2) loosen the knob as shown. (3) Raise the pole to desired height and tighten the knob securing the pole into place. IMPORTANT: Always keep one hand on the pole you are raising or lowering to prevent the pole from coming down unexpectedly. (4) Use the Velcro strap to secure the cable, preventing it from getting caught on other equipment or blowing in the wind.
Connect the (1) white/gray multiport male connector to the female multiport input port in the top of the remote as shown. Then (2) connect the male HDMI connector into the female HDMI input port on the side of the monitor as shown. Make sure the monitor’s input setting is on HDMI by pushing the AV/PC button on the monitor. You should now have picture and be able to zoom with the camera remote.
