Precautions for Installation and Use

• Handle with care. - Do not drop, shock or vibrate this product
excessively, or the product could go out of order. Do not handle
the camera cable roughly, or the camera cable could be
disconnected.

• Do not aim at an intense light. - Do not allow an intense light,
such as a spotlight, to come into the camera screen, blooming
or smearing could occur. Do not direct the camera to the sun,
either, or an intense light could come into the camera and
vertical stripes could appear on the camera screen, though this
is not a symptom of failure.

• Install this product in a place free from noise into the
camera screen. - If the camera is installed or the camera cable
is wired near a lamp line or a TV set, the camera screen could
suffer noise. If this is the case, relocate the camera or cable
routing.

• Keep the camera head and the protective cap from the
reach of infants. - Do not place the camera head or the
protective cap within the reach of infants, or they could
dangerously put it into their mouth or swallow it. The protective
cap is used to protect the CCD image pickup surface; do not
throw it away but safekeep it.

• When leaving the camera unused for a long time - When the
camera is left unused for a long time, shut OFF the power
supply for the safety purpose.

• When maintaining the camera - Shut OFF the power supply to
the camera, and wipe the camera with a dry cloth. If the stain
will not come off, wipe it off with a cloth soaked with a diluted
neutral detergent. Do not use benzine, alcohol or thinner, or the
coating could fall off or the indication could degenerate. For
cleaning the lens, use a lens cleaning paper or the like.
