THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be insert­ed only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively
earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used
with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to pro­vide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major
cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply
that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely
safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of
the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

The lightning flash with arrowhead sym­bol, within an equilateral triangle, is
interned to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within
the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilat­eral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the appli­ance.

WARNING:

TO PREVENT FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOIS

TURE.

CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK), NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.

PREFACE

The Panasonic's WV-BM140 is a desk-top closed circuit
Video Monitor especially designed for surveillance.
Up to four specified cameras can be connected to this
monitor for surveillance by sequential or manual switching
between cameras. Monitor and cameras form a simple sys-

tem, interconnected by coaxial cables that carry DC power
and vertical drive pulse to the cameras. The system can be
expanded to a CCVE system by adding an intercom and
sensors.

• Automatic bypass circuit works to skip channels to
which no camera is connected.

• The following functions are available from the setup
menu:

• Camera Identification Display (CAMERA ID)

• Audio Selection (AUDIO SELECT)

• Timing Selection (TIMING SELECT)

• Sequential Time Adjustment (SEQ TIME ADJ)

• Alarm Buzzer Setting (ALARM BUZZER)

• Alarm Time Adjustment (ALARM TIME ADJ)

• Automatic Resetting (AUTO RESET)

• Manual Skipping (MANUAL SKIP)

• This model is not designed for rack mounting.

• Do not stack two or more sets. If more than two moni­tors are used, place them at least 15 cm (6 inches)
apart. Otherwise the monitor may produce noise in the
display.

• Do not use the monitor in a car or other places where it
may be exposed to severe vibration.
