  3. Antenna Connection:

    Screw the 5dBi antennas onto both the camera and the monitor. Ensure they are securely tightened for optimal wireless signal transmission.

  4. System Pairing (if necessary):

    The system is typically pre-paired from the factory. If you experience no signal, refer to the user manual for instructions on how to re-pair the camera and monitor. This usually involves a simple pairing process initiated from the monitor's menu.
