PRECAUTIONS
In case of problem
Do not use the camera if smoke or a strange odour 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 a 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, sea water, etc.
Be careful when handling the unit
To prevent damages, 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, audio speakers the magnetic field they generate will
distort the image.
Protect from humidity and dust
To prevent damages 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.
Protect from high temperatures
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat generating devices, such
as spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct sunlight, as
that could cause deformation, discoloration or other damages.
Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or boiler
room, as the temperature may raise to high levels.
Install where the temperature range will stay between –10˚C and
50˚C.
(no condensation)
