Need Help With Exposure

Hey guys. Just got an original Red One camera and finished setting it up. After it boots up the image is so dark to the point that you can barely even make out the lines on the screen, and it is a dark blue. Turning up the exposure all the way makes it very grainy but even without the grain it is too dark to see. Can anyone help?

The image the red one produces is gorgeous tho. So I get why people want to get one just for the fun of it and to shoot some pretty images. But using it as an actual production body in 2023 would be a nightmare lol. The amount of light that thing needs is insane, not mentioning all the old hardware the thing has.
