safety instructions. Heed all warnings on the unit and in the
operating instructions before operating the unit.
1. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning.
Follow any instructions provided with the unit. Generally,
using a dry cloth for cleaning is sufficient but a moist, flufffree cloth or leather shammy may also be used. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
2. Water - Do not use this unit near water, for example near a
bathtub, washbowl, sink, laundry basket, in a damp or wet
basement, near a swimming pool, in an outdoor
installation, or in any area classified as a wet location. To
reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose
this unit to rain or moisture.
3. Object and liquid entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this unit through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the unit. Do not place objects filled with liquids,
such as vases or cups, on the unit.
4. Power cord and plug protection - Protect the plug and
power cord from foot traffic, being pinched by items
placed upon or against them at electrical outlets, and its
exit from the unit. For units intended to operate with
230 VAC, 50 Hz, the input and output power cord must
comply with the latest versions of IEC Publication 227 or
IEC Publication 245.
5. Power disconnect - Units have power supplied to the unit
whenever the power cord is inserted into the power
source. The power cord plug is the main power disconnect
device for switching off the voltage for all units.

1.3 Important Notices
U.S.A. models only - Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper
grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of
the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Disposal - Your Bosch product was developed and
manufactured with high-quality material and components that
can be recycled and reused. This symbol means that electronic
and electrical appliances, which have reached the end of their
working life, must be collected and disposed of separately
from household waste material. Separate collecting systems
are usually in place for disused electronic and electrical
products. Please dispose of these units at an environmentally
compatible recycling facility, per European Directive 2002/96/
EC

Environmental statement - Bosch has a strong commitment
towards the environment. This unit has been designed to
respect the environment as much as possible.
Power lines: An outdoor system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines, electrical lights, or power
circuits, or where it may contact such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outdoor system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching power lines or circuits, as this
contact may be fatal.
U.S.A. models only - refer to the National Electrical Code Article
820 regarding installation of CATV systems.
SELV - All the input/output ports are Safety Extra Low Voltage
(SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to
other SELV circuits.
Because the ISDN circuits are treated like telephone-network
voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the Telephone
Network Voltage (TNV) circuits.
System ground/Safety ground
System (video) ground is indicated by the symbol .
Safety (power) ground is indicated by the symbol .
The system ground is only used to comply with safety standards
or installation practices in certain countries. Bosch does not
recommend connecting system ground to safety ground unless
it is explicitly required. However, if the system ground and
safety ground are connected and grounding loops are causing
interference in the video signal, use an isolation transformer
(available separately from Bosch).
CAUTION!
Connecting System ground to Safety ground may result in
ground loops that can disrupt the CCTV system.
