Precautions

1.Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Ask qualified service personnel for servicing.

2.Handle the camera with care.

Do not misuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

3.Consult an expert on the load bearing capacity of the installation surface and structure. If the surface is not strong enough, the camera may fall down. Refer to the product specifications for weights.

4.Do not install the camera in places where it will be exposed to corrosive gasses, e.g., in chemical plants, seaside, at swimming pools or the like. Otherwise corrosion of the bracket may cause the camera to fall down.

5.Use the fall-prevention wires to reduce the risk of the camera falling down.

Do not detach the fall-prevention wire securing the camera. Otherwise the camera could fall down, causing injury to persons and damage to the camera.

6.Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera body.

Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it is dirty. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently. Care should be taken not to scratch the dome cover when wiping it.

Afterwards, wipe off the remaining detergent with a dry cloth.

7.Never aim the camera at the sun.

Whether or not the camera is in use , never aim it at the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, blooming or smear may be caused.

8.Never aim the camera at strong light sources for an extended period of time.

A light source such as a spot light causes burn-in on the display screen. Failure to observe this may cause the image to become discolored due to deterioration of the color filter in the CCD.

9.Do not install this camera upside down.

This camera is designed for mounting on the ceiling or wall. Using this camera installed upside down, for example, mounted on the floor, may cause malfunction.

The input power source is 24 V AC 60 Hz.

11.Do not install the camera near the air outlet of an

air conditioner.

The lens may become cloudy due to condensation if the camera is used under the following conditions.

•Rapid temperature fluctuations by switching the air conditioner on and off.

•Rapid temperature fluctuations due to frequent door opening and closing.

•Use in an environment where eyeglasses become foggy.

•Use in a room filled with cigarette smoke or dust.

If the lens becomes cloudy due to condensation, remove the dome cover and wipe all moist surfaces with a soft cloth.

12.Consumables
