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.

For Australia

FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT
CAREFULLY.

Power Cord

1. Keep the Power ON/OFF switch of the camera in
the OFF position during installation.

2. Connect the Power Cord to a grounded electrical
outlet.

Video Cable

Use a 75 Ω coaxial cable (RG-59, RG-59A/U, RG­59B/U, RG-59/U, RG-6/U, or RG-11/U).

1. Up to 10 monitors can be hooked up in this
configuration before signal loss occurs. Total cable
length should not be longer than 150 meters (500
feet).

2. Wiring Precautions :
Do not bend the coaxial cable into a curve whose
radius is smaller than 10 times its diameter.
Never staple coaxial cables, not even with circular
staples.
Never crush or pinch the cable.
All of the above will change the impedance of the
cable and cause poor picture quality.

Preparations:

Make sure that all required connections in the system
are completed.
Turn on the power of this monitor by pressing the Power
On/Off Switch on the front panel.

1. Adjust the brightness by the Bright Control
(BRIGHT) and the Contrast Control (CONTRAST) so
that the overall brightness is appropriate and grey
tones are resolved.

2. If the picture slips to either side, or a series of
horizontal lines appear, adjust the Horizontal Hold
Control (H.HOLD) until the picture is stabilized.

3. If the picture rolls up or down, adjust the Vertical
Hold Control (V.HOLD) until the picture is stabilized.

4. The sub controls, HEIGHT and V. LINEARITY,
should be adjusted at the same time to give proper
vertical height consistent with good vertical
linearity. Extending the picture height approximately
6 mm (1/4”) beyond the top and bottom edges of
the CRT mask is recommended.

Under Scanning

Press the Scan Size Selection Switch (SCAN SIZE)
once (switch down ;) to set the UNDER position.

DC Restoration

DC restoration circuit provides a stable reference for
the black level.
Set the switch to ON to prevent excessive contrast and
preserve shadow detail.
