•The camera has dehumidifying device to keep the inside at low moisture level, preventing condensation and quickly dis- sipating dew if produced.

•Dew may be produced depending on the conditions of temperature, humidity, winds, and rain, and it may take time to dehumidify.

•Never seal the surfaces of the dehumidi- fying device.

•Locations subject to strong magnetic field or radio waves

•Locations where corrosive gas is pro- duced

•Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores

•Locations where the temperature is not within –10 °C to +50 °C {14 °F to 122 °F}.

•Locations subject to vibrations (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)

Installing place

Contact your dealer for assistance if you are unsure of an appropriate place in your partic- ular environment.

Make sure that the installation area is strong enough to hold the camera, such as a con- crete ceiling.

When the installation area is not strong enough, reinforce and strengthen it or use Mounting Bracket (WV-CW484F, WV-CW 484FK: option, WV-CW484S, WV-CW484SK: provided) or Ceiling Mount Bracket. (Refer to p. 48 Optional Accessories.)

Do not install the camera in a humid or dust-laden environment.
