the pre-wired video-out RCA plug. The yellow video output jack located on the rear of the
monitor makes it possible to add an external monitor such as a big screen TV or a video
recording devise. Remember, not all camcorders have an AV-IN option so be sure to
check your camcorder before you head out on the water.
The camera and power cables have a custom-built waterproof and sealed connector. It is
critical you unscrew the connector
before trying to disconnect. This
connection routes power and
signals to your camera, so you
want to make sure this connection
is tight at all times when in use. Your system has a super thin, super strong transmission
cable. It is NOT a good thing if you cut or damage your cable as water in the cable will,
over time destroy the cable. If you have any doubts as to the damage to your cable,
please contact the Vexilar service center for specific instructions. See page 24.
Camera Mounting Options
Your Fish Scout comes with two cable holding options.
One is an elbow suspension arm attached directly to
the bottom of your internal ABS frame. The elbow arm
is ideal for when you wish to look down an ice fishing
hole directly next to the monitor. The elbow support
arm easily folds out of way when not in use. The “egg”
attaches to your cable and allows you to suspend the camera at
whatever depth you wish to hold. By simply rotating the cable
and dropping the egg back into the round slot on the elbow
arm, you can hold the camera at any depth or direction.
Another option is to use the folding over-the-hole suspension
arm. This arm is kept in the long pocket on the side of your Fish
Scout soft pack case. This is used when you want to suspend
the camera over the ice fishing hole away from
the monitor. This is a common application since
having the camera too close to where you are fishing will result in the
fish getting tangled in the cable. By using the larger over-hole suspension
arm, you can place the camera in a secure viewing position four to eight
feet from where you are fishing to avoid
hooking the cable while fishing. The
over-the-hole suspension arm also has a
compass mounted in the arm so you will
be able to know which direction your
camera is pointing with a (DTD systems
only) camera system.
