QUICK START GUIDE
1Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is set to OFF. (Red dot is OFF).
2Install 4 “AA” batteries in the internal battery compartment of the module.
(Lithium batteries are recommended)
3Using a screwdriver, turn the channel selector to the correct transmission
channel number.
4Connect an antenna to the ANTENNA connector on the module.
5Connect the microphone or microphones to the MIC-1 and MIC-2 connectors
on the module.
6Connect a video source to the Video/Multi I/O connector.
7Slide the power switch to the ON position (Green dot is ON) to apply power to
the transmitter.
Note: While installing the batteries, observe proper polarity as printed in the
battery compartment. Reverse polarity protection is a built-in design feature of
the transmitter. If a battery is installed backwards, this feature prevents the
transmitter from powering up, without damaging the transmitter or battery.
Warning: Do not apply power to the transmitter until an antenna has been
connected in step 4.
Warning: Refer to Appendix A of this manual for information on the proper
use of antennas.

OVERVIEW
What should you expect to receive with your 250mW
Transmitter?
1VBS/VBL Video Transmitter
1Dipole antenna with right angle SMA connector
1One Video and Power In “Y” cable
1DTC programming software package
1DTC programming cable
8Batteries
NOTE: The dipole antenna included is not recommended for normal
use! This antenna enables you to quickly set up your transmitter
and ensure proper operation. DTC highly recommends the use of
circularly polarized antennas for the best rejection of multi-path.
NOTE: DTC has provided you with a “Y” cable (power and video)
terminated with an RCA connector and a BNC adapter for your
convenience.)
The VBL/VBS series video transmitters from DTC represent the first true “video body wires” available. DTC has developed a
fully user programmable video transmitter and mated it with an integral AA battery pack. This dramatically simplifies wiring,
lowers the risk of detection, and increases the chances of operational success.
For best results, DTC recommends the use of its VidiWIRE on body dual patch antenna system with phase matching module,
and a DTC diversity receiver.
Users should also consider using the VBL/VBS series transmitters for rapid deployment drop cameras. Packaging the
transmitters with miniature board cameras is exceptionally easy, and in the case of 5 volt cameras, power may be provided to
the camera directly from the VBL/VBS transmitter’s internal battery pack.
This product in only available for sale to legitimate state, local, federal and friendly foreign government agencies.

Multi I/O Connector
•You may turn the device ON remotely, by attaching a switch to one
of the pins on the Multi I/O connector. DTC provides hard-wired and wireless
switches for this application.
• The power applied to the Multi I/O pin is automatically looped through the
unit, and available on a second pin to power a remote device, such as a
camera. If you apply 9 Volts in, you will get 9 Volts out. Applying power through
the multi I/O connector automatically disables the internal AA battery pack.
WARNING: Make sure your camera will operate on the voltage being supplied
to the transmitter.
User programmable video channels, selectable in 250 kHz steps. Two user
programmable audio sub carriers, selectable in 10 kHz steps from 6 MHz to
7.5 MHz.
• Audio sub carriers are OFF unless microphones are attached. The
transmitter automatically senses when a microphone has been attached.
• The audio sub carriers are phase locked, and will not drift into the video
signal.
• Automatic Gain Control is provided on each audio input, amplifying soft
sounds.
• They generate far less heat than a traditional video transmitters.
• They operate significantly longer than traditional video transmitters on the
same power source.
• When powering the device using the internal battery pack, regulated 5 VDC is
available on the multi I/O connector, limited to 200 mA current drain.

MICROPHONE CONNECTORS
Two connectors accommodate two microphone inputs. Each connector has two
contacts and provides power to the microphone as well as connecting the audio
signal into the transmitter. The audio sub-carriers are activated by the presence of the
microphone. If a microphone is removed, that sub-carrier is removed from the
transmit signal. Turning off the unused sub-carrier saves power and improves picture
quality.
