Do not expose this product to rain or moisture, or try to operate it in wet areas.

Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified service person for servicing. Moisture can damage the product, and also create the danger of electric shock.

Use this product for indoor use only.

Do not expose the product to direct sunlight for hours and do not install the product near a heater or an air conditioner. Otherwise, it may cause deformation, discoloration and malfunction. Keep the product away from water.

Do not drop anything inside this product.

Clean the faceplate with care.

Do not clean the faceplate with strong or abrasive detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and ethanol.

Discoloration on the CCD color filter

When continuously shooting a bright light source such as a spotlight, the color filter of the CCD may have deteriorated and it may cause discoloration. Even when changing the fixed shooting direction after continuously shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the discoloration may remain.

Do not aim the camera head at strong light sources.

A light source such as a spot light causes a blooming (light bleeding) or a smear (vertical lines).

• Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash

• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool (not only outdoor)

• Locations subject to steam and oil smoke such as a kitchen

• Locations near flammable gas or vapor

• Locations where radiation or x-ray emissions are produced

• Locations subject to strong magnetic field or radio waves

• Locations where corrosive gas is produced

• Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores

• Locations where the temperature is not between 0°C and +40°C {32°F and 104°F}.

• Locations subject to vibrations (the product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)

• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature
