ATTACH PROBE
New DCS312s ship with the probe attached to the grip. If your probe and grip are
already attached, skip this section. The probe must be attached to the grip or the
LCD will show a blue screen and the advisory "No Signal".
To attach the probe,
1. Slide the metal collar of the grip's coupling back until it touches the rubber boot
on the grip's housing.
2. Line up the alignment key on the probe connector with the flat on the coupling
(see photo below).
3. Push the two ends together until they mate.
4. Tighten the connection by
turning the collar in the opposite
direction of the REMOVE
arrow on the collar.
Double-check the tightness
of the connection; if it is not
tight, water may enter the
system later and ruin it.
To detach the probe, perform the
attachment procedure in reverse.
To loosen the connection between the two components, turn the collar in the
direction indicated by the REMOVE arrow.
ATTACH VIDEO CABLE (OPTIONAL)
If you wish to view video captured by the DCS312's probe on an NTSC-format
television, insert the mini-plug end of the supplied A/V cable into the VIDEO OUT
jack behind the LCD (Fig. 2, Callout K). Insert the yellow RCA plug at the other end of
the cable into the television's "Video In" jack.
After you make the connection, you can watch live video on both the DCS312 and
the TV at the same time. Note: the image flip and image zoom functions are
disabled for video exiting through the VIDEO OUT jack.
ATTACH PROBE TIP ACCESSORY (OPTIONAL)
The DCS312 comes with three accessories that snap onto the camera-tipped end of
the probe. Each accessory has a specific purpose:
• The 45° mirror lets the probe see around corners.
• The pickup hook lets you retrieve otherwise inaccessible items seen by the
probe—for example, a wedding ring accidentally dropped down a sink drain.
• The magnetic hook lets you retrieve lost or dropped metal objects—nuts and
bolts, for example—located by the probe.
