[2] Either one of the following marks is indicated by a serigraph or label.

Product conforming to RoHS directive

Phase 3A Phase 3

2. Soldering

Since the melting point of lead-free solder used for the products conforming to RoHS directive is 20 to 45 degrees Celsius higher

than that of conventional solder with lead (Sn-Pb eutectic solder), a high temperature needs to be set to a soldering iron. Taking

allowable temperature limit of the parts and stable work into consideration, use a soldering iron with excellent thermal recovery

characteristics.

· Recommended solder composition is "Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu" or equivalent.

· Separate the soldering iron exclusively for RoHS products and the soldering iron for conventional use.

· Set the temperature of the soldering bit to 350 to 370 degrees Celsius.

The temperature may need to be adjusted according to the size of the copper foil land on the print-circuit board and the tip

width of the soldering bit.

· Finish by a lead-free solder looks dull or whitish compared to conventional solder with lead.

· If the customer mixed the lead-solder with the main body wiring or the circuit board, it becomes guarantee off the subject.

Ikegami doesn't guarantee to do the repair work. Because the solder polluted with lead cannot be removed.

3. Parts

Be sure to use parts conforming to RoHS directive.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Regarding the Product

Be sure to hold the plug and pull when you disconnect the cable.
Failure to do so may cause a fire or electric shock due to a broken cable.

Avoid moving the equipment suddenly from an extremely cold place to a warm place.
Condensation may occur in the Charged Couple Device (CCD) or other parts.

Do not drop or insert a metal object such as a pin or a foreign object into the equipment.

Do not spread or spill water or other liquid on the equipment.

Do not subject the equipment to a strong shock or vibration.
Doing so may cause damage or malfunction of the equipment.

Since a CCD is adopted as the image sensor in picture elements, no burning occurs in ordinary
operation. However, when shooting a subject which emits an excessive amount of light (such as the
sun) for long hours, take great care for temperature increase inside of the CCD.

Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not
to let a laser beam become directed into the lens of the camera.

Before connecting a VTR or accessories, make sure that the camera and equipment to be connected
are powered off. Also, be sure to use dedicated cables.

Excessive sound pressure from the headset may cause a hearing loss.

Regarding the Power and the Lithium Battery

Use the product in compliance with the rating of the fuse within the product and that within the
Camera Control Unit (BS). Otherwise, a fault can occur.

Do not use an unspecified battery.

Wrong usage of batteries may cause liquid leak, explosion, and heat, and at worst injur y or fire.
When changing or discarding a battery, please contact Ikegami's sales and service centers.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to
the instructions.

Regarding the Fiber Connector and the Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cable connectors are quite similar to each other in shape. Before connecting fiber optic
cables, thoroughly check male or female, the diameter, type and manufacturer of connectors.

If the ferrule is dirty, wipe the dirt off with cotton swabs soaked in alcohol.

The fiber optic cable supplies DC180V power from the BS to the camera.
Although safety measures are fully taken such as the safety circuit that stops the power supply
from the BS within a short time after an optical fiber cable is removed or short-circuited, never
force to bend, twist, or damage the cable, and take great care when handling.

vi

HDK-55 1206 VER1 (U)

Regarding the Fiber Connector and the Fiber Optic Cable

Take care for the following:

- When disconnecting the fiber optic cable from the camera or from the BS, always hold the fiber
connector (plug) and not the cable.

- Do not crush the cable.

- Since there can be various obstacles (such as a corner of a building, glass, rough ground surface)
in places where the cable is connected, do not drag the cable without winding.

- Turn off the power before removing the fiber optic cable.

- The allowable radius of curvature of fiber optic cables is approximately six times of the outer
diameter of cables (approx. 60 mm for a φ9.2mm-wide cable). Do not force to wind less than
specified. Forcible winding can break fiber leads within the cable.

- When connecting a fiber optic cable to a fiber connector, anchor the fiber optic cable with a cable
clamp.
