Connecting the Camera to a Network

You can connect the camera to an existing internal network or household network (LAN using Ethernet, etc.).

Important	• This camera is compatible with a 10BASE-T LAN (Ethernet).
Note

•To connect the camera to a LAN, it is necessary to purchase a LAN connection CF card. For details of equipment checked or recommended by Ricoh, refer to the separate list of Compatible Products. Updated information can be found in Ricoh’s homepage on the Internet (noted at end of manual).

•Do not remove the cable or turn the camera off while data is being transmitted between the camera and the PC as the camera or PC may be adversely affected. (When the camera is connected to LAN, the flash lamp (red) will not flash during data communication.)

•When you use the camera by connecting it to the PC, you are advised to use an AC adapter and avoid powering the camera by the battery. Particularly if you are handling non-compressed files, motion pictures or other large files, transmission will take a long time. If the power fails during transmission, the camera or the PC may be adversely affected.

•Do not touch the cable terminal of the LAN connection CF card.

•Do not connect the camera to a LAN and a USB cable simultaneously. The camera or PC may be adversely affected.
