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 SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

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.

CABLE INFORMATIONS

Power Cord

1. Keep the Power Switch (1) in the OFF position during
installation.

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

Video Cable

1. Use 75-ohm coaxial cable [RG-59/U (3C-2V), RG-6/U
(5C-2V), RG-14/U (7C-2V), RG-15/U (10C-2V)]

2. Up to 10 monitors can be hooked up in this configura­tion before signal loss occurs. Total cable length
should not exceed 150m.

3. Wiring Precautions :

• Do not bend coaxial cable into a curve whose
radius is smaller than 10 times of its diameter.

• Never crush or pinch the cable.

All these will change the impedance of the cable and
cause poor picture quality.
