NS-CH1IPC8

Wi-Fi Camera

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Insignia product. Your NS-CH1IPC8 represents the state of the art in Wi-Fi camera design and is designed for reliable and trouble-free performance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1Read these instructions.

2Keep these instructions.

3Heed all warnings.

4Follow all instructions.

5Do not use your Wi-Fi camera near water.

6Clean only with a soft, dry cloth.

7Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

8Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

9Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits from your Wi-Fi camera.

10Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of your Wi-Fi camera.

11Unplug your Wi-Fi camera during lightning storms or when it will not be used for long periods of time.

12Make sure that the available AC power matches the voltage requirements of your Wi-Fi camera.

13Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.

14Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord.

15Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when your Wi-Fi camera has been damaged in any way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your Wi-Fi camera, your Wi-Fi camera has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

16To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your Wi-Fi camera to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids should be placed on top of it.

17Do not install your Wi-Fi camera outdoors. Your Wi-Fi camera is intended for indoor use only.

18Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near your Wi-Fi camera. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect your Wi-Fi camera’s performance.

19Your Wi-Fi camera is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of your Wi-Fi camera by a person responsible for their safety.

20Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with your Wi-Fi camera.

21Do not leave packaging material unattended, as it may become dangerous playing material for children.

22If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard.
