Precautions

•When the VIEWCAM is not in use, remember to remove the cassette tape, turn off the power, and disconnect the VIEWCAM from the power source.

•Do not aim the lens at the sun.

Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the VIEWCAM lens or LCD monitor screen, whether or not recording is in progress, as it may damage the CCD sensor or LCD screen surface. Be particularly careful when recording outside.

•When shooting in dark places, avoid sudden brightly lit objects or light sources, such as the sun. Otherwise, the image may white out. Should this happen, point the lens in a different direction until the picture returns to normal.

• Avoid magnetic sources. Using the VIEWCAM near strong fluorescent lights, motors,

televisions, or other

magnetic sources may adversely affect recorded images.

•Using the VIEWCAM near a broadcasting station or other powerful transmission source may cause buzzing or picture deterioration.

•Avoid shocks and dropping.

Do not drop or otherwise

subject the VIEWCAM to hard shocks or strong vibrations. Bumping or striking the unit during recording will generate noise in the recorded image.

• Avoid placing the

VIEWCAM in close proximity to lighting equipment.

The heat from incandescent lights may deform the VIEWCAM, or cause it to malfunction.

•Always respect prohibitions or restrictions on the use of electronic equipment on commercial flights or in other sensitive areas.

•Be aware of the temperature and humidity. You can use your VIEWCAM at 0 °C to +40 °C (32 °F to 104°F), and at 30% to 80% relative humidity. Do not store the unit in an unventilated car in the

summer, in direct sunlight, or near strong heat sources; this can result in severe damage to the unit casing and circuitry.

•Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or other foreign matter could get on or inside the VIEWCAM, and do not use or leave your VIEWCAM in areas with excessive smoke, steam or moisture.

Such environments can

cause malfunctions or cause mildew to form on the lenses. Be sure to keep the unit in a well-ventilated location.

• Some small, portable tripods may be difficult to attach and may not be sturdy enough to support your VIEWCAM. Be sure to use only a strong, stable tripod.

•When using your VIEWCAM in a cold environment, the LCD monitor screen often appears less bright immediately after the power is turned on. This is not a malfunction. To prevent the VIEWCAM from becoming too cold, wrap it in a thick cloth (a blanket, etc.).
