Important Safeguards
www.lorextechnology.com
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture process of
your product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is your
responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to ensure your enjoyment
and proper use of the product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before
operating and using your product.
General Precautions
1. All warnings and instructions in this manual should be followed.
2. Do not use receivers or video monitors in humid or wet places.
3. Keep enough space around the product for ventilation. Slots and openings in the storage
cabinet should not be blocked.
4. It is highly recommended to connect the product to a surge protector to protect from damage
caused by electrical surges. It is also recommended to connect the product to an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which has an internal battery that will keep the product
running in the event of a power outage.
5. Remove the plug from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid aerosol detergents. Use a
water dampened cloth for cleaning.
Installation
1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and
operating instructions should be rea d befo re the produ ct
is operated. Follow all operating instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the
product and in the operating instructions.
4. Polarization - 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.
Power Sources - This product should be operated only
5.
from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied
to your location, consult your video dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension
cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric
shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed
power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and
broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a
shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord,
and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
7. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
8. Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the
video equipment be connected to a surge protector.
Doing so will protect the equipment from damage
caused by power surges. Surge protectors should bear
the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - Because
9.
this product is designed for continuous, 24/7 operation,
it is recommended that you connect the product to an
uninterruptible power supply. An uninterruptible
power supply has an internal battery that will keep the
product running in the event of a power outage.
Uninterruptible power supplies should bear the UL
listing mark or CSA certification mark.
Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Power line
operated equipment or accessories connected to this
product should bear the UL listing mark or CSA
certification mark on the accessory itself and should
not be modified so as to defeat the safety features. This
will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical
shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service
personnel.
vii
Installation (Continued)
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation

to its normal operation.
F. When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance. This indicates a need for service.
7.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are
required, have the service technician verify that the
replacements used have the same safety
characteristics as the original parts. Use of
replacements specified by the product manufacturer
can prevent fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Installing the camera
Installation Warnings
• Mount the camera indoors or outdoors. For outdoor installation, mount
it in a sheltered place where it is not directly exposed to rain or snow.
• Aim the Cameras to best optimize the viewing area: Select a location for
the camera that provides a clear view of the area you want to monitor,
which is free from dust, and is not in line-of-sight to a strong light source
or direct sunlight.
• Place the camera within 21 feet (6.5 meters) of the area you wish to monitor
for motion during night time. This allows for optimal motion detection.
• Avoid installing the cameras where there are thick walls or obstructions
between the Cameras and the Receiver
• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between
14°F~122°F (-10°C ~ 50°C)
Installing the camera
Before you install the camera, plan where and how it will be positioned, and where you will
route the cable that connects the camera to the power adapter.
• Before starting permanent installation, verify its performance by observing the image on a
or when camera is positioned in the same location/position where it will be permanently
monit
installed
• The cameras are pre-paired so they work out of the box. Each camera has a channel number
ticker indicating what channel they are paired to. To manually pair your cameras, see
s
“Appendix C: Adding Cameras” on page 29.
To install the camera
