Precautions for Installation and Use

Handle with care. - Do not drop, shock or vibrate this product

 

excessively, or the product could go out of order. Do not handle

 

the camera cable roughly, or the camera cable could be

 

disconnected.

Do not aim at an intense light. - Do not allow an intense light,

 

such as a spotlight, to come into the camera screen, blooming

 

or smearing could occur. Do not direct the camera to the sun,

 

either, or an intense light could come into the camera and

 

vertical stripes could appear on the camera screen, though this

 

is not a symptom of failure.

Install this product in a place free from noise into the

 

camera screen. - If the camera is installed or the camera cable

 

is wired near a lamp line or a TV set, the camera screen could

 

suffer noise. If this is the case, relocate the camera or cable

 

routing.

Keep the camera head and the protective cap from the

 

reach of infants. - Do not place the camera head or the

 

protective cap within the reach of infants, or they could

 

dangerously put it into their mouth or swallow it. The protective

 

cap is used to protect the CCD image pickup surface; do not

 

throw it away but safekeep it.
