Note: A shielded network cable (STP) must be used to protect the product against power surges.

3.Check that the status LED on the housing indicates the correct conditions. See the table on page 22 for further details.

Cold Start-up Delay Switch

This switch is enabled by default; ensure it remains on.

The housing used in this Axis product features Arctic Temperature Control, which is enabled by setting the Cold Start-up Delay switch to I (ON). When enabled, this function controls when the camera restarts after a power cut, when temperatures are below 0 °C (32 °F); the camera is first heated to approximately 0 °C (32 °F) before it initializes. This prevents damage to camera parts that are sensitive to sub-zero temperatures.

Attach top cover

1.Attach the top cover to the bottom cover. Make sure to tighten diagonally opposite bottom cover screws a few turns at a time until all are tight. Do not tighten screws completely the first time.

2.Loosen the sunshield adjustment screws and adjust the sunshield to the desired position.
