OPERATION

Kenwood Radio DTMF Control Transceiver

The MiniBox-4 features a Kenwood DTMF FM Transceiver for remote

control operation. The Kenwood uses a rechargeable battery and has its

own battery charging stand. The Kenwood is shipped pre-programmed for

communication with the Control Receiver in the MiniBox-4. Make sure the

antenna is attached before turning on the Kenwood.

The Kenwood Radio has been provided with transmitter models of the

MiniBox-4 in order to allow a simple remote control interface for the

camera. The radio is compact, rugged, water and dust resistant and has

Mil-Spec 810 construction.

This radio has an uncluttered control area and a large LCD display. The

radio also has practical features that make it a good radio for DTMF

control. It has been programmed at the factory to key automatically, when

a DTMF key is pressed. The radio also has a 1 second tail programmed.

This keeps the radio transmitting for a short time after a tone is sent. This

can help to smooth out the commands on pan and tilt.

One handed operation on normal pan tilt and zoom functions is easy.

Kenwood Radio Operation

1. Begin working with the radio

after it has charged overnight.

Make sure that the antenna is

securely connected, then turn

the unit ON.

2. Check the frequency for

activity. If you have to, change

both the radio and MiniBox-4

RX channels.

3. The radio has been conﬁgured

to transmit when any DTMF

key is depressed without

having to hold down the PTT

switch. With practice, this

allows one-hand, no-look

operation.

4. The right arrow button toggles

high-low power.
