Safety Precautions
5
When the equipment is installed in a
cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it
has sufficient space on all sides to allow
for ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16") or more
on both sides, on top and at the rear).
Do not block the ventilation holes.
(If the ventilation holes are blocked by a
newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not
be able to get out.)
No naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
When discarding batteries,
environmental problems must be
considered and the local rules or laws
governing the disposal of these batteries
must be followed strictly.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
Do not point the lens directly into the
sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well
as lead to the malfunctioning of internal
circuitry. There is also a risk of fire or
electric shock.
CAUTION!
The following notes concern possible
physical damage to this unit and to the
user.
Carrying or holding this unit by the LCD
monitor can result in dropping the unit,
or in a malfunction.
Do not use a tripod on unsteady or
unlevel surfaces. It could tip over,
causing serious damage to the unit.
CAUTION!
Connecting cables (Audio/Video, etc.) to
this unit and leaving it on top of the TV is
not recommended, as tripping on the
cables will cause the unit to fall, resulting
in damage.
When using the AC adapter in
areas other than the USA
The provided AC adapter features
automatic voltage selection in the AC
range from 110 V to 240 V.
USING HOUSEHOLD AC PLUG
ADAPTER
In case of connecting the unit’s power
cord to an AC wall outlet other than
American National Standard C73 series
type, use an AC plug adapter called a
“Siemens Plug” as shown.
For this AC plug adapter, please contact
the local dealers in your area.
Remove the AC adapter from the AC
wall outlet when not in use.
Do not leave dust or metal objects
adhered to the AC wall outlet or AC
adapter (power/DC plug).

Battery Pack
The supplied battery pack is a lithium-ion
battery. Before using the supplied battery
pack or an optional battery pack, be sure
to read the following cautions:
To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
To prevent damage and prolong
service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range
of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Cooler
temperatures require longer charging
time, or in some cases stop charging
at all. Warmer temperatures prevent
complete charging, or in some cases
stop charging at all.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended
exposure to high temperatures will
increase natural discharge and
shorten service life.
... keep a 30% battery level if the
battery pack is not to be used for a
long period of time.
... remove from charger or powered unit
when not in use, as some machines
use current even when switched off.
... do not drop or subject to strong
impact.
... do not short-circuit the
terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects
when not in use.
When transporting,
carry the battery in a
plastic bag.
... do not modify or
disassemble.
... do not expose the
battery to
temperatures
exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may
cause the battery to overheat, explode
or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
