Once all necessary connections and configurations are made, you are ready to start up the rest of the system.
Tracking Ring Package
1. Power ON the CameraMan camera with the POWER switch on the Main Docking Station.
2. Set the Tracking Ring Power Pack's Power switch, located on the top of the unit, to ON.
The Power ON light on the Power Pack will illuminate.
If the Power ON light on the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack does not
illuminate, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
3. Verify that the TRACKING UNIT STATUS light on the camera’s display panel is
illuminated, indicating the communication link between the camera and the Tracking Ring.
4. Press one of the four autoTRACK View buttons on the keypad to activate the autoTRACK
functionality of the Camera System (the camera will not track until one of the autoTRACK
buttons is pressed). Once you are in autoTRACK mode, the autoTRACK light on the
camera’s display panel will illuminate.
If the autoTRACK light on the CameraMan’s display panel is blinking, CameraMan is in
autoTRACK mode, but the link between CameraMan and the Tracking Ring is not active.
To establish this link, move into the CameraMan’s field-of-view (see the autoTRACK MODE or
Troubleshooting sections of this manual for further assistance).
Rechargeable Battery
The Tracking Ring Power Pack comes with a built-in 4-hour Rechargeable Battery. When the
battery is running low, the Battery LOW light on the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack
illuminates. At this time the Tracking Ring Power Pack should be recharged or an Auxiliary
Battery Pack should be attached to the Tracking Ring Power Pack.
To recharge the battery:
1. Turn OFF the Tracking Ring Power Pack.
2. Set the switch on the front of the Battery Charger to TRACKING POWER PACK.
3. Plug the Battery Charger into an electrical outlet and connect it to the Power Pack.
The Battery Charger takes two to three hours to recharge the Tracking Ring
Power Pack.
The light on the Battery Charger indicates when the battery is fully charged. If a battery is very
low, the light on the charger flashes slowly. The light on the charge stays on while the battery
is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the light on the charger flashes quickly.
