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!

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).

Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral)
or coloured black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or
coloured Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent
electrician.

CAUTIONS:



To prevent shock, do not open the
cabinet. No user serviceable parts

Getting Started

Storage and Usage Locations

o

Allowable ambient temperature and humidity
Be sure to use this unit within the allowable
temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104°F)
and a relative humidity of 30 % to 80 %. Using this
unit at a temperature or humidity outside the
allowable ranges could result not only in
malfunction but also serious impact on the CMOS
elements as small white spots may be generated.
Please exercise care during use.

o

Strong electromagnetic waves or magnetism
Noise may appear in the picture or audio and/or
the colors may be incorrect if this unit is used near

Precautions

microSDHC/microSDXC Cards

o

“microSDHC/microSDXC card” is referred to as
“microSD card” in this manual.

o

This camera recorder saves the recorded images
and audio sound to the microSD card (sold
separately) that is inserted into the card slot.

o

If the microSD card contains files recorded by
devices other than this camera recorder or files
that are saved from a PC, the recordable time may
be shorter or data may not be properly recorded.
In addition, the remaining space on the card may
not increase even when files are deleted using a
PC.

* Using cards other than those from Panasonic,

TOSHIBA or SanDisk may result in recording
failure or data loss.

Handling of microSD Cards

o

Do not remove the microSD card during data
access (such as recording or formatting). And, do
not turn off the power or remove the AC adapter
during access.

o

Do not use or store the microSD card in a place
that is subject to static electricity or electrical
noise.

o

Do not place the microSD card near locations that
are exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio
waves.

o

Inserting the microSD card incorrectly may result
in damage of this unit or the microSD card.

o

We are not liable for any accidental loss of data
stored on the microSD card. Please back up any
important data.

o

Make use of the microSD card within the
prescribed conditions of use.
Do not use it at the following locations.
Places that are subject to direct sunlight, high
humidity or corrosion, places near thermal
equipment, sandy or dusty places, or in a car
under the sun with the doors and windows closed.

o

Do not bend or drop the microSD card, or subject
it to strong impact or vibration.

o

Do not splash the microSD card with water.

o

Do not dismantle or modify the microSD card.

o

Do not touch the terminals with your hands or with
a metal object.

o

Do not allow dust, dirt, water, or foreign objects to
adhere to the terminals.

o

Do not stick any label or sticker.

o

Do not use a pencil or ballpoint pen to write on the
microSD card. Always use oil-based pens.

o

If you format (initialize) the microSD card, all data
recorded on the card, including video data and
setup files, will be deleted.

o

You are recommended to use cards that are
formatted (initialized) on this camera recorder.

0

The microSD card may be damaged if the
camera recorder is not functioning correctly.
Formatting (Initializing) the microSD may allow
it to operate correctly.

0

microSD cards that have been formatted
(initialized) on another camera, computer or
peripheral equipment may not function
correctly. In this case, format (initialize) the
microSD card on this camera recorder.

o

If you want to discard the microSD card by
completely erasing the data inside, we
recommend either using commercially available
software that is specially designed for that
purpose or physically destroying the microSD
card with a hammer, etc. When formatting or
erasing data using the camera recorder, only the

dangerous to use the password without changing
it. Set a password that is not easily guessed.
It is also recommended to change the password
regularly.

Others

o

This camera will perform the initial operation of
pan/tilt/zoom upon powering on.

o

The camera body may be captured in the
recording depending on the pan, tilt or zoom
position.

o

Do not subject the lens to strong light source such
as sun rays. This may cause the equipment to
malfunction.

o

During audio input/output, noise may occur when
the rotation mechanism is rotated horizontally/
vertically, when zooming is performed or when the
power is turned on/off. This is not a malfunction.

o

The pan operation range of this product is limited
to ±175°. Regardless of the function, operation is
not possible beyond this range.

o

Some switching hubs of products that are
equipped with intelligent features may include a
broadcast/multicast suppression function.
Viewing of multicast images on this product may
fail if this function is enabled.

o

The dark areas on the screen may appear grainy
or white spots may increase. When switching
between color and black-and-white images, the
brighter area on the screen is emphasized, which
may reduce the visibility. However, this is not a
malfunction.

o

If the power supply voltage is momentarily cut off
or reduced due to lightning or turning on of the air
conditioner’s power, the image may be disrupted
or noise interference may occur.

o

When shooting objects with a luminance
difference or near a light source, ghost may occur
on the screen. This is a feature of the built-in lens,
and is not a malfunction.

o

The time of the internal clock may be significantly
out of alignment if the power of the product is
turned off for a long time or when there is
prolonged power failure. If this occurs, readjust the
clock time.

o

When the monitor in use has a wide display area,
lines may appear at the peripheral area of the
screen.

o

Operation via an infrared remote control unit may
not work depending on where and how the camera
is installed.
