Important Safeguards
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacturing process of your video 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 assure your enjoyment and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before operating and using your video product.
Installation
1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before the video product 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
video 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.
5. Power Sources - This video product should be
operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your location, consult your video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets of
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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the video product.
8. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are
provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the video product manufacturer’s instructions have been followed.
9. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless
recommended by the video product manufacturer as they may cause a hazard.
10. Camera Extension Cables – Check the rating of
your extension cable(s) to verify compliance with your local authority regulations prior to installation.
11. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product
near water. For example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool and the like.
Caution
operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark of 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.
12. Accessories - Do not place this
video equipment on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. The video equipment may fall, causing serious damage to the video product. Use this video product only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

13. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video
equipment yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
14. Conditions Requiring Service - Unplug this video
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the video product.
• If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the video product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the video product to its normal operation.
• If the video product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
• When the video product exhibits a distinct change in performance. This indicates a need for service.
Use
19. Cleaning - Unplug the video product from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
20. Product and Cart Combination - Video and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the video product and car combination to overturn.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects for
any kind into this video product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or “short-out” parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
22. Lightning - For added protection for this video
product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and power line surges.
15. 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 video product manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock or other hazards.
16. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this video product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks recommended by the manufacturer to determine that the video product is in safe operating condition.
17. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The cameras provided
with this system should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as instructed in this guide, using the provided mounting brackets.
18. Heat - The product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Removing a Camera from Yoics
You may need to remove the camera from the Yoics service if you decide to change a wireless camera into wired camera, or vise versa. Since the wireless cameras (LNZ4001, LNE3003) are capable of connecting through a wired and wireless connection, you may want to change the way your camera connects (wired or wireless). Before you change the type of connection of your camera, you must first remove the camera from the Yoics service.
Removing a device from Yoics is a two step process.
First, you must remove the device fom the
