SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

2.3 For best performance

Location/avoiding noise (main monitor/sub monitor)

The main monitor, sub monitor, and other compatible Panasonic units use radio waves to communicate with each other. (The product operates in the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 250 mW (max.).)

RFor maximum coverage (approx. 100 m) and noise-free communications, install your main monitor:

–at a convenient, high, and central location with no obstructions between the sub monitor and main monitor in an indoor environment.

–away from electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, personal computers, wireless devices, or digital cordless phones.

–facing away from radio frequency transmitters, such as external antennas of mobile phone stations. (Avoid installing the main monitor near a window.)

RCoverage and voice quality depends on the local environmental conditions.

RDo not place the charger near TVs, speakers, or other devices that emit electromagnetic waves. Failure to do so may prevent the charger from charging the product.

Environment (main monitor/sub monitor)

RKeep the unit (main monitor and sub monitor) away from electrical noise generating devices, such as fluorescent lamps and motors.

RThe unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

RThe unit should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators, cookers, etc. It should not be placed in rooms where the temperature is less than 0 °C or greater than 40 °C. Damp basements should also be avoided.

RDo not install the product in locations that are suspect to sudden changes in temperature. Failure to do so may cause condensation to form on the product causing malfunction.

REven when the main monitor and sub monitor are used within 100 m of each other, obstructions can cause weak signals, noise, interrupted transmissions, distorted images and slow image refresh rates. Obstructions can include:

–Metal doors or metal shutters.

–Heat insulation including aluminium foil.

–Concrete walls or walls made of galvanized iron sheet.

–If the sub monitor is being used in a different building, or a different part of the house, i.e. a different floor to the where the main monitor has been installed.

–Many walls.

–Double insulated glass windows.

RSome types of hearing aids may receive noise from wireless communications between the main monitor, sub monitor and other compatible Panasonic units.

ROperating the unit near electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.

RIn areas surrounded by a high electrical field, disturbances may occur in the unit’s image or sound.

2.4 Other important information

RThe AC adaptor is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the power outlet is installed near the product and is easily accessible.

Caution:

RRisk of explosion if battery is replaced by incorrect types. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Tapping

This product uses digital wireless technology so that a call is rarely intercepted. However, calls may be tapped by a third party because the product also communicates using radio waves.

7

2. Important information

R"Tapping" means that the other party intercepts a radio message intentionally or accidentally by using a receiver.

Privacy and rights of portrait

When installing or using the doorphone, please take into consideration the rights of others with regard to privacy.

RIt is generally said that "privacy" means the ability of an individual or group to stop information about themselves from becoming known to people other than those whom they choose to give the information. "Rights of portrait" means the right to be safe from having your own image taken and used indiscriminately without consent.

Personal information

The main monitor’s internal memory and SD cards record personal information (image and audio recordings of visitors, etc.). Panasonic assumes no liability for any unforeseen damages arising from the exposure of the recorded information.

RDisclaimer

Recorded data may be altered or deleted as a result of incorrect operations, exposure to static electricity, accidents, malfunction, repairs or other operations.

Panasonic assumes no liability for any direct or indirect damages resulting from the loss or alteration of recorded images.

Requesting repairs for the product

RMake sure to back up recorded data, from the main monitor’s internal memory, to an SD card and then delete all recorded data from the internal memory before sending the product for repairs. After backing up the data, make sure to remove the SD card from the main monitor.

3. Preparation

3.1 Using SD cards (sold separately)

SD cards can be used with the main monitor to record images and calls from the doorphone and camera. (® page 19)

When an SD card is not used, the main monitor’s internal memory is used to save images. In this case, only doorphone images can be saved and the memory capacity is limited. We therefore recommend using an SD card to save images.

See page 42 for information about SD cards that can be used.

3.1.1 Cautions for SD cards

RThe SD card indicator (® page 11) flashes when data is being read from or written to the SD card.

Do not remove the SD card, press the RESET button (® page 11), or turn off the power to the main monitor while the SD card indicator is flashing. Failure to observe this may cause data to become corrupted.

RSD cards formatted by PCs or other devices must be formatted by the main monitor before they can be used. (® page 41)

R When the write-protect lock
switch (A) is set to "LOCK", the	A
SD card cannot be formatted, and
images and audio cannot be
recorded or deleted.

RWe recommend backing up important data to a PC or other device. Data on SD cards may become corrupted or be deleted if SD cards malfunction, or are exposed to electromagnetic waves or static electricity.

Disposing or transferring SD cards

RUsers are solely responsible for the managing of SD card data.

Formatting or deleting SD cards with the main monitor, a PC or other device, only changes the file management information and does not completely delete all data stored on the SD cards. When disposing of or transferring SD cards, we recommend physically destroying SD cards or using commercially available computer software to completely delete all data in SD cards.

3.1.2 Inserting SD cards

Important:

R Do not touch the SD card’s metal contacts.

1After confirming that the screen of the main monitor is off, insert the SD card into the SD card slot (A).

5. Recording/Playing

5.1 Image and audio recording

The amount of audio and image content that can be recorded depends on the where the content is being saved (internal memory or SD card).

In order to enjoy the full capabilities of the product, we recommend using an SD card for the save destination.

–When an SD card is inserted into the main monitor, it automatically becomes the default save destination. (The save destination cannot be selected.)

–See page 10 for information about supported SD cards and how they are used.

			Internal memory

Note:

RRecorded images from the internal memory can be copied to SD cards. (® page 41)

RImages recorded on SD cards can be played on a PC. (® page 41)

Guide for SD card capacity and recording

The following table gives an approximate guide to the number of images that can be recorded, based on which device took the images and the size of the SD card used, when the default settings are used ([Record calls] is set to [Disable] (® page 36)).

Unit: number of recorded images

	Capacity	2 GB	4 GB	8 GB	16 GB	32 GB	48 GB	64 GB
	Doorphone	125	255	520	1,040	2,090	3,000	3,000
Recorded	images only
image type	Camera images	2,300	3,000	3,000	3,000	3,000	3,000	3,000
	only

Note:

RWhen using a camera, we recommend using an SD card with a capacity of 4 GB or more.

RThe number of images that can be recorded in the table are just a guide and may differ from the actual number of images that can be recorded.

RBecause SD cards contain data such as file system management information, the complete capacity cannot be used to save data. When other data is saved to an SD card, the number of images and videos that can be saved is reduced.

5. Recording/Playing

5.2 Recording doorphone images and conversations

5.2.1 Automatically recording incoming call images

When there is an incoming call, regardless of whether you answer the call or not, images are automatically recorded about 2 seconds after receiving the call. (See page 19 for information about the recorded contents.)

When calls are not answered:

Recorded images are saved as unchecked images, and the notification indicator of the main monitor flashes.

Note:

RWhen there is an incoming call from another doorphone when talking or monitoring with a doorphone (® page 30), you must end the call or monitoring in order to display and save the image from the incoming call.

RWhen there are multiple doorphones and there is an incoming call from another doorphone, while receiving an incoming call, the number of recorded images (8 images), and the length of recorded videos (about 30 seconds), are reduced.

When the internal memory or SD card’s memory is full (auto image updating)

When the memory is full, it is not necessary to manually delete images in order to record new messages because existing images, starting with the oldest image, are automatically deleted.

–Images that have not been viewed are also deleted.

–See page 13 for information about checking the recording status of the internal memory or SD card.

5.2.2 Record images and audio until the end of calls (Record calls)

To use this function, an SD card must be in the main monitor and [Record calls] must be appropriately configured (® page 36).

In this case, when calls from a doorphone are answered, the calls can be recorded from start to finish in 1 video file that includes audio data. (The maximum length of the video is about 120 seconds.)

5.2.3 Manually recording monitored images

Monitored images can be manually recorded with the main monitor and sub monitor. (See page 19 for information about the recorded contents.)

Images monitored with the camera can also be recorded with the same operations.
