Ensuring Trouble-free Operation

•This camera uses a "slip ring" for transmission of electrical power and signals. A dirty slip ring can cause deterio- ration of picture quality during panning and generation of noise.

In order to ensure trouble-free camera operation, make sure that the cleaning function (page 41) is turned on.

•If cleaning the slip ring does not eliminate poor picture quality and noise, it could mean that the slip ring has reached the end of its service life. Contact a qualified service person or system installer to have it replaced.
