Precautions for Proper Use

To prolong the service life of the RM-HP250, do not use it or store it in the following places.

A place subject to extremely high or low temperatures.

A place subject to excessive vibration.

A place subject to excessive dust.

A place subject to high humidity.

A place near to a strong source of noise.

Do not apply strong vibrations or impact to the RM-HP250during installation or transportation.

If the supply voltage is too high or low, the service life of the RM-HP250may be reduced or it may not be able to provide an optimum performance.

Do not connect or disconnect the camera cable connector while the RM-HP250is ON.

After turning the RM-HP250 OFF, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.

Noise may interfere with the video when the RM-HP250 is installed near a source of strong magnetism, such as a radio or TV transmitting antenna, power transformer or motor.

While the values set by using the menus are retained in the memory even after the unit is turned off, those set using the front panel switches and controls are retained for about 10 days only and then the factory-set defaults are reset.

As the LCD contrast is reduced at low temperatures, it should be re-adjusted before use in such conditions.

REF. : Item “6A: CONTRAST” on page 26.

When a transceiver or cellular phone is used near to a RM- HP250 or to a camera connected to it, noise may interfere with the video. However, this is not a malfunction.

When an intercom is used, radio interference may occa- sionally affect any system that is connected to the RM- HP250. In such a case the INTERCOM G (GND) terminal provided to the RM-HP250 should be grounded.

In a multiple camera setup, if the adjustments made to the different cameras deviate significantly, the cameras may not be able to function satisfactorily. Be sure to adjust the cam- eras accordingly before using them with the RM-HP250.

Use camera cables with standard lengths, as specified. Otherwise, the camera cable compensation may not be able to work efficiently.
