aIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In these safety instructions, the word “equipment” refers to the Canon Network Camera VB-C50Fi and all its accessories.

1.Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the equipment is operated.

2.Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3.Heed Warnings - All warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow Instructions - All operating and maintenance instructions should be followed.

5.Cleaning - Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Wipe the equipment with a clean soft cloth. If necessary, put a cloth in diluted neutral detergent and wring it well before wiping the equipment with it. Finally, clean the equipment with a clean dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids or pesticides as they may damage the product’s finish. When using chemically-treated cleaning cloths, observe those precautions accordingly.

6.Accessories - Do not use accessories not recommended in this manual as they may be hazardous. Always use specified connection cables. Connect devices correctly.

7.Water and Moisture - Hazard of electric shock - Do not use the equipment near water or in rainy/moist situations. Do not put a heater near this equipment.

8.Placing or Moving - Do not place on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The equipment may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the equipment. An

equipment and cart

combination should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.

9.Power Sources - The PA-V16 AC adapter should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your equipment dealer or local power company.

10.Polarization - The PA-V16 AC adapter is equipped with a polarized 2-prong plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).

The 2-prong polarized plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

11.Power Cord Protection - Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to plugs and the point from which the cords exit the equipment.

12.Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70- 1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna, antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure 1.
