2.Use a class 2 power source supplying 24 V AC.

3.To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) to connect the power supply to the camera.

4.Be sure to use a ceiling board/wall having enough strength to support this camera.

5.Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Ask a qualified service personnel for servicing.

6.Handle the camera with care.

Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

7.Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera body.

Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it is dirty. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter- gent and wipe gently. Care should be taken not to scratch the dome cover when wiping it.

Wipe off any remaining detergent in it with a dry cloth.

8.Never face the camera towards the sun.

Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise, blooming or smear may be caused.

9.Never aim the camera at strong light sources for an extended period of time.

A light source such as a spot light causes burn-in on the display screen. Failure to observe this may cause the image to become discolored due to dete- rioration of the color filter in the CCD.

10.Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. Do not use the camera in an extreme environment where high temperature or high humidity exists. Do not place the camera near heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other units that produce heat. Use the camera under conditions where tempera- tures are between –10 °C and +50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) and humidity is below 90 %.

The input power source is 24 V AC 60 Hz.

11.Do not install the camera near the air outlet of an air conditioner.

The lens may become cloudy due to condensation if the camera is used under the following conditions.

•Rapid temperature fluctuations by switching the air conditioner on and off.

•Rapid temperature fluctuations due to fre- quent opening and closing of a door.

•Use in an environment where eyeglasses become foggy.

•Use in a room filled with cigarette smoke or dust.

If the lens becomes cloudy due to condensation, remove the dome cover and wipe all moist surfaces with a soft cloth.

When installing, be sure to wipe off water drops and splashes inside the camera. Failure to do so may cause condensation.

12.Do not aim the camera at the same object for a long time.

Burn-in of an image may be caused on the fluores- cent screen of the CRT.
