PRECAUTIONS

Operating

Ø

Before using, make sure of power supply and
connection of video output.

Power supplied without voltage stabilization or the
voltage maintained at 12V±10% DC may cause
damage.

Ø

While operating, if any abnormal condition or a mal­function is observed, stop using the camera immedi­ately and then call your local dealer.

Handling

Ø

Do not disassemble the camera and never touch
parts inside the camera.

When attaching or removing the lens, handle with
care in order that moisture and dust does not enter
the camera.

Ø

Do not shoot any source of bright light. if the object
contains very bright areas, bright vertical or hori­zontal lines may appear on the screen. This is
called "smear", a phenomenon which often occurs
with solid-state pickups, and is not a malfunction.

Installation and storage

Ø

Do not point the camera at the sun. This could
damage the camera whether it is operating or not.

Ø

exceed the allowable range.

Be sure the ambient temperature is less than 40°C for
long term continuous operation.

Ø

Avoid installing in humid or dusty places.

Ø

Avoid installing in places where there is radiation. This
could damage CCD and other components and
cause malfunction.

Ø

Avoid installing in places where there are strong mag­netic fields and electric signals.

Ø

Avoid installing in places where the camera would be
subject to strong vibrations.

Ø

Never expose the camera to rain and water.

Cleaning

Turn the power off and wipe off the dirt with dry soft cloths. If it
is extremely dirty, use furniture cleaning tissue. Do not use
