Screen Cleaning & General Care
Do not use solvents when cleaning the screen as they may cause damage; clean with a soft
cloth. Do not expose the Monitor to wet/damp/humid, dusty, or excessively hot or cold environ-
ments, or leave it in direct sunlight. Make sure all connections are free of dirt and debris at all
times. Do not block vents. Only use the supplied power supply. Turn power off when not in use.
* The HDCM-2 will not work directly connected to HD Analog Cameras or anything that uses
proprietary encoding.

Purpose
This is a multi-purpose ruggedized HD LED monitor. It can be used for temporary or perma-
nent connection to any NVR, DVR, Cable/Satelllite box, computer, or other video source that
has an HDMI, AV, VGA, or BNC connection.*
How to display video
Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet, and then connect it to the HDCM-2. The HDCM-2 will
automatically turn the screen on and attempt to show video. Next, connect your video source to
the appropriate connection on the top of the HDCM-2. If you see a “No Signal” message on the
screen, press the Input Selector button on the top to access that menu, then press it again to
scroll through the AV, BNC, HDMI, and VGA options. Once you have highlighted the connection
type you are using, press one of the Arrow buttons to select it. Your video should now display.
Adjusting brightness, contrast, etc.
Press the Screen Controls Menu button to access the menu. There will be four primary icons
on the top row—a Color Wheel icon, a Speaker icon, a Screen Shift icon, and an Advanced
Settings icon (the one with the clock). Use the Left and Right Arrow buttons to highlight/
select one of the menus. Then use the Input Selector button to scroll down the list of Settings.
When you have highlighted the setting you want to adjust, use the Arrow buttons to make the
change. Once you have made the change, select the Screen Controls button again to save it.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT POWER & CHARGING THE BATTERY
There is a built-in rechargeable battery. Therefore, leaving the Battery Engage/Disengage
Switch in the ON position will drain the battery even when the screen is not On. Be sure to turn
off the Battery Engage/Disengage Switch during transport or when the HDCM-2 is not in use.
Always use the AC power adapter if you set up the HDCM-2 in a permanent location, or plan
to run it contiunously for more than an hour.
To charge the battery, plug in the AC adapter and turn the Battery Engage/Disengage Switch
to the ON position.
