PRECAUTIONS

In case of problems

Do not use the camera if smoke or a strange odor comes from the unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not open or modify

Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause damage to the unit. For internal settings and repairs, consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).

Do not put objects inside the unit

Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside the camera. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.

If water or other liquid gets inside the camera, disconnect the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre). Be careful to protect the camera from rain, seawater, etc.

Be careful when handling the unit

To prevent damage, do not drop the camera or subject it to strong shock or vibration.

Install away from electric or magnetic fields

If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric motor, transformer, or audio speakers, the magnetic field they generate may distort the image.

Protect from humidity and dust

To prevent damage to the camera, do not install it where there is greasy smoke or steam, where the dampness may get too high, or where there is a lot of dust.

English 3

Protect from high temperatures

Do not install close to stoves or other heat generating devices, such as spotlights, or where the camera could be subject to direct sunlight, as that could cause deformation, discoloration or other damage.

Be careful when installing close to the ceiling in a kitchen or boiler room, as the temperature may rise to high levels.

Install where the temperature range will stay between 5˚C and 40˚C. (no condensation)

Cleaning

Dirt can be removed from the cabinet by

•

wiping it with a soft cloth. To remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a neutral detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry with a dry soft cloth.

Do not use solvents, thinner or other

•

chemical product on the cabinet, as that may cause deformation and paint peeling. Before using a chemical cloth, make sure to read all accompanying instructions. Make sure that no plastic or rubber material comes in contact with the cabinet for a long period of time, as that may cause damage or paint peeling.

INSTALLING AND HANDLING THE Ni-Cd BACKUP BATTERY

The Ni-Cd battery which is supplied with the camera is used as a backup power supply for the clock and the hard disk.

The battery has not been charged. Before turning on the camera power, install the battery by referring to the points below. If any problems with battery operation or leakages of battery fluid occur, contact the place of purchase.

Note:

Once the camera’s power has been turned on

•

and left on for 24 hours, the battery will be charged sufficiently to provide 30 days of backup operation.

If the battery is used continuously for long

•

periods, leakage of battery fluid may occur. The interior of the battery compartment is lined with absorbent material to absorb any fluid which should happen to leak from the battery, so if replacing the battery after a leak has occurred, be sure to replace this absorbent material also.

Always be sure to use the accessory AC

•

adapter. If you use some other commercially-available AC adapter, detection of problems with the backup battery will not be possible, and damage to the hard disk may result.

If the camera power supply is turned off or a

•

power outage occurs after the battery has only been charging for a short time, it may cause the clock setting to be re-initialized. If this happens, the camera will not operate.

(Warning displays)

When the camera power is turned on after the

•

battery has been replaced, “LOW BATT” will appear on the monitor screen, and charging of the battery will start automatically.

Approximately 1 hour of charging time is

•

needed before the “LOW BATT” display disappears from the monitor screen. If the “LOW BATT” display does not disappear after one hour or more has passed, it may indicate a problem with the battery.

If “LOW BATT” appears on the monitor screen

•

while the camera is in use, the warning indicator will flash and recording of images will be halted. This may also indicate a problem with the battery, so replace the battery at such times.

If the battery has not been installed, or if the

•

battery terminal contacts are not complete, “NO BATT” will appear on the monitor display. If this happens, check the battery once more.

English 11

Installing the Ni-Cd battery

1 Loosen the rear cover fixing screw (A) and open

the cover. (The screw cannot be removed from the cover.)

2 Insert the battery into the battery compartment

so that the Ni-Cd battery label is facing upward.

3 Connect the battery plug to the connector. 4 Close the rear cover and tighten the rear cover

fixing screw (A).

WARNING

Do not short the battery terminals and do not

•

attempt to disassemble or modify the battery. Do not drop the battery or subject it to strong

•

shocks. Do not place the battery into fire, as it may

•

explode. Do not expose the battery to moisture.

•

Do not place the battery into water or let the

•

terminals of the battery get wet.

DANGER

The following precautions must be observed at all times, otherwise the battery may leak, overheat or explode.

Never peel off or scratch the outer tube.

•

Do not use in any other appliance except for

•

this camera. Do not carry the battery by holding the

•

connectors or lead wires.

If the fluid inside the battery gets into eyes, it may cause blindness. Do not rub the eyes, wash the affected area immediately with clean water, and then seek medical advice.

If the fluid inside the battery gets onto the skin or clothing, it may injure the skin, so wash the affected area immediately with clean water.

Do not use the camera in places which are

•

prone to sudden changes in temperature (changes of more than 10˚C in one hour).

If moving the camera to a place which has high

•

humidity or which is subject to large fluctuations in humidity, condensation may form inside the camera. If the camera is used while there is condensation inside the camera, it may result in camera malfunctions.

Do not install the camera in places which are

•

subject to vibration, such as inside vehicles or trains.

The built-in hard disk, cooling fan and Ni-Cd battery are consumable.

These parts should generally be replaced after 2

•

years of operation at an ambient temperature of 25˚C. This replacement period is a guide only, and is not a guarantee that performance will be maintained during the whole of the time.

If the ambient temperature is 40˚C, the Ni-Cd

•

battery should generally be replaced after one year.
