Precautions
Operating or storage location
Avoid operating or storing the system in the
following locations:
• Extremely hot or cold places
• Humid or dusty places
• Places exposed to strong vibration
• Close to sources of strong magnetism
• Close to sources of powerful
electromagnetic radiation, such as radios
or TV transmitters
• Noisy places
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the
cabinet and panel when cleaning the unit.
For heavier cleaning, use a cloth lightly
moistened with a mild detergent to remove
the dust, and finish by wiping again with a
dry cloth. Do not use volatile solvents such
as alcohol, benzene, thinners, or insecticides
as they may damage the surface finishes.
Note on laser beams

sensor. You are cautioned that the surface
of a CMOS image sensor should not be
exposed to laser beam radiation in an
environment where a laser beam device is
used.

Features
The PCS-G60/G60D/G60DP Visual
Communication System is a communication
system that provides face-to-face
communications with a remote party by
transmitting and receiving images and sound
via LAN (Local Area Network) or ISDN
(Integrated Services Digital Network)
connections.
Supports ITU-T international
standard
The Visual Communication System
complies with ITU-T Recommendations
defined by WTSC for easy connection with
remote parties overseas.
ITU: International Telecommunication
Union
WTSC: World Telecommunications
Standardization Committee
Reception of high-definition
images enabled
The Communication System supports the
H.264 Baseline Profile and High Profile
high-definition video compression format,
enabling reception of interlaced video
signals with a high resolution of 1280 × 720.
Transmission can be performed in WCIF,
4CIF, CIF, and QCIF.
Transmission and reception of
wide range of stereo sound
capability
The audio compression format of the

System Connections
This section describes the typical system connections.
Notes
• Be sure to turn off all the equipment before making any connections.
• Do not connect/disconnect the camera cable, interface cable, or pen tablet with the power
on. Doing so may damage the Camera Unit, Communication System or ISDN Unit.
• For safety, do not connect the 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connector to a network that
applies excess voltage via the 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connector.
• Used with the Camera Unit or ISDN Unit for the first time, the Communication
System may automatically upgrade the software of the connected equipment.
Upgrade the software according to the message displayed on the monitor screen. Be
sure not to turn off the Communication System or disconnect the cable during
upgrading. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction of the system.
