Installation precautions

≥Do not install the unit on any of its sides.

≥Avoid using the unit in the kitchen and other locations with lots of steam and oily vapors.

≥Mount the camera on the pan/tilt head only when you have finished installing it.

≥The maximum load-bearing capacity of this unit is 17.6 lbs (8 kg). It cannot be used if the load to be borne exceeds 17.6 lbs (8 kg).

≥Do not use a lens which will impair or upset the unit’s balance.

Even if the load borne by the unit is less than 17.6 lbs (8 kg), it cannot be used if the unit will be set off-balance by the lens mounted on it.

≥Do not install the unit outdoors or in places where the temperature will be hotter than 113°F (45°C) or colder than 32°F (0°C). Use the unit in places where the humidity is below 90%.

≥Purchase the mounting screws separately since they are not supplied with the unit.

≥Do not hold or lift the unit by its rotating part. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

≥Do not turn the unit’s rotating part by hand. Doing so may cause malfunctioning.

≥Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impact may give rise to malfunctioning.

≥Leave a clearance of at least 3.3 ft (1 meter) from around the monitor when installing the unit.

≥When mounting the camera on the unit, take sufficient steps to ensure that it will not become detached from the unit or fall onto the floor.

≥Install the unit in such a way that the equipment mounted on it and its cables will not come into contact with anything when the pan/tilt head swivels, and set definite movement limits.
