■Make sure to remove the protective plastic-film before using the Web Camera.

■Do not point the web camera directly at the sun.

■Do not touch or press strongly on the web camera lens. Doing so may reduce image quality. Use an eyeglass cleaner (cleaner cloth) or other soft cloth to clean the lens if it becomes dirty.

■Setting the image “SIZE” to more than “800x600” will cause a larger amount of data to be written to the hard disk drive and may interfere with smooth recording.
