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
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use your Wi-Fi camera near water.
6 Clean only with a soft, dry cloth.
7 Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
8 Do 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.
9 Protect 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.
10 Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of your Wi-Fi camera.
11 Unplug your Wi-Fi camera during lightning storms or when it will not be used for long periods of time.
12 Make sure that the available AC power matches the voltage requirements of your Wi-Fi camera.
13 Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.
14 Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord.
15 Refer 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.
16 To 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.
17 Do not install your Wi-Fi camera outdoors. Your Wi-Fi camera is intended for indoor use only.
18 Do 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.
19 Your 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.
20 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with your Wi-Fi camera.
21 Do not leave packaging material unattended, as it may become dangerous playing material for children.
22 If 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.
