Cautions on Use of this Product
- Be sure to read this information -
lCautions on use
Do not subject the camera to impact.
• This camera is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike
it against a hard object or let it fall.
Do not point directly at the sun.
• If direct sunlight strikes the lens, the camera could malfunction or a re
could occur.
No sand or dust!
• If sand or dust gets inside the camera or the AC adapter, it may cause
damage and/or malfunction.
Heat on surface of product
• The surfaces of the camera and AC adapter will be slightly warm, but this
does not indicate a fault.
Be careful of ambient temperature.
• If the temperature of this camera is too high or too low, normal image
output may not be possible.
Be careful of moisture condensation.
• When you move the camera between places where the difference in
temperatures is great condensation (vapor in air warmed or cooled to water
droplets) could occur on the lens and/or inside the camera. If condensation
occurs on the lens, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. Even if the external
surface of camera has dried, condensation may remain inside. Therefore,
turn the camera off and leave it in a dry place for at least 1–2 hours before
using it again.
Do not use the camera near strong radio waves or magnetism.
• If the camera is used near strong radio waves or magnetism, such as a
radio wave tower or electric appliances, noise may be present in the picture
and the camera may not operate normally.
At worst the camera could malfunction.
4
lCautions on Storage
Do not store the camera in a very humid or dusty place.
• If dust gets inside the camera, it may malfunction. Under high humidity, the
lens may become moldy, and the camera could become inoperable. We
recommend storing the camera in a box with dessicant when storing in a
closet, etc.
Do not store the camera in a place subject to strong magnetism or
intense vibrations.
• This could cause malfunctions.
lCleaning
Be sure to turn the power off before cleaning the camera.
Cleaning the lens
• Wipe dirt off the lens with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning the surface of the camera
• Use soft cloth to gently wipe dirt off the surface of the camera.
Do not use benzene or thinner to clean the surface of the camera.
• The coating of the case could peel off or the case could deteriorate. Wipe
off dirt on the case with a dry soft cloth which has been completely wrung
out. When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow instructions for use.
lWarnings about Transport
• This camera is a precision device. Transporting the device without using
the packing materials we specify may cause damage to it. If you wish to
transport it again, please use the packing box it was shipped in.
lDisposal of Batteries
• When disposing of batteries, insulate them from each other, such as by
putting Electrical tape on their terminals, and then dispose of them at a
designated location. If you dispose of them with any other conductive
things, such as pieces of metal, it may cause them to short and result in a
re or explosion.

place, such as on the ceiling,
have an installer specialized in
such construction do the work.
When mounting the camera
in a high place, make sure the
location it will be mounted and
the materials used for mounting
it (other than the included
xture, etc.) are strong enough
to support a weight of at least
20kg and then mount the
camera securely. If materials
are not strong enough, it may
fall and cause an injury.
To prevent it from falling, be
sure to attach the safety wire.
Take all due care to prevent
the camera from falling during
installation.
If installed in a high place,
inspect once a year to make
sure the mount has not become
loose. Make more frequent
inspections if the conditions of
use call for it.
