Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
The MCC-500MD is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the MCC-500MD can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the MCC-500MD as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Precautions for Use
Safety precautions for using this unit
• Viewing images may result in eye strain,
fatigue, nausea, or other symptoms of
discomfort. It is best to take frequent breaks
when viewing content. Because the length and
frequency of breaks will differ from person to
person, be sure to trust your instincts when
deciding to take breaks from viewing. When
feelings of discomfort occur, stop viewing the
images until the symptoms subside, and consult
with a specialist physician if necessary.
• Avoid using this unit while walking or
exercising, or in areas that shake violently, as
doing so can increase the chances of feelings of
discomfort.
• When connecting the unit to medical
equipment, refer to “Precautions when
connecting this unit to medical equipment”.
Precautions when connecting this unit to
medical equipment
• Before using this unit for medical purposes, be
sure to confirm that use of this unit will not
cause symptoms that may interfere with
medical practice, such as eye strain, fatigue, and
nausea, etc.
• Refrain from using this unit if symptoms occur
that interfere with medical practice, or if such
symptoms are likely to occur.
• Depending on the conditions of the video input
to the unit (e.g., the steadiness, movement
speed, and focus position of the video, the
distance from subject, the area of the image the
user is viewing) and the general health of the
user, the user may experience visual fatigue,
tiredness, and other discomfort.
Precautions when using a harmonic
scalpel
Strong electromagnetic waves or voltage from
equipment such as a harmonic scalpel may cause
images may appear rough or distorted, etc., or
disrupt proper operation of the unit when used at
the same time. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
When using this unit with equipment that emits
strong electromagnetic waves or voltage, check
the effects of such equipment beforehand and
place the unit in a location where those effects
will be limited, or discontinue use of the unit with
such equipment.
Usage and storage locations
Store the unit in a level, well-ventilated place.
Avoid using or storing the unit in the following
places.
• Extremely cold or hot locations (Operating
temperatures: 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF))
• Locations in direct sunlight for long periods, or
close to heating appliances (The inside of a
vehicle can reach up to 50 ºC (122 ºF) in the
summer when the windows are closed.)
• Humid or dusty places
• Locations where the unit may be exposed to rain
• Locations subject to strong vibrations
• Locations close to strong magnetic fields
• Near TVs that emit strong electromagnetic
waves, or near locations where radio waves are
emitted
• Locations with a strong risk of fire or explosion
Precautions concerning laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CMOS image
sensor. When shooting scenes that include laser
beams, be careful not to allow laser beams to hit
the surface of the CMOS image sensor (do not let
laser beams enter the lens).
Do not subject the unit to strong impacts
Dropping the camera head or exposing it to
excessive shocks may damage it.
Do not block the camera vents
To prevent the interior of the unit from
overheating, maintain a clearance of at least
10 cm (4 in.) around the unit.
Do not subject the unit to sudden
changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature may affect the
camera picture output.
Precautions for Use
8
Do not leave the unit with the camera
facing the sun
Sunlight can enter the camera, be focused inside
the unit and cause a fire.
Cleaning
If the casing, panel, or camera cable becomes
dirty, wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth.
For stubborn dirt, use a cloth wet with mild liquid
detergent to wipe the unit, and then wipe it with a
dry cloth. Using alcohol, thinner, benzine,
insecticides, or other volatile substances may
damage the surface of the unit or remove the
finish.
Use isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of
50% to 70% (v/v) or ethanol with a concentration
of 76.9% to 81.4% (v/v) to clean the surface of the
unit.
Transporting the unit
When transporting the unit, use the original
carton and packing to wrap it and ensure it is not
subject to violent impacts.
After use
Press the 1 (on/standby) button to turn the
standby mode.
When not using the unit for a long period
of time
Disconnect the power cord.
On moisture condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm
location, or if ambient temperature suddenly
rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of
the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as
condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the
unit and wait until the condensation clears before
operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
White spots
The CMOS image sensor is fabricated using
extremely high-precision technology, however,
in very rare cases, outside influence, such as
cosmic rays, may cause minute white spots to
appear on the screen. This not a malfunction, but
is related to the principle of the imaging element.
White spots may also be visible in the following
situations.
• When the unit is used in locations subject to
high temperatures
• When the gain is raised
Aliasing
When shooting fine patterns or lines, a jagged or
flickering effect may occur.
Flicker
When shooting under discharge tube lighting,
such as fluorescent lamps, sodium lamps, or
mercury vapor lamps, the screen may flicker,
change color, or horizontal stripes may appear to
roll across the screen.
Focal plane
Due to characteristics of how the CMOS image
sensor reads image signals, subjects that quickly
move across the screen may appear slightly
distorted.
Additionally, light from a flash or quickly
flashing light sources may cause the brightness to
change at the top and bottom of the screen.
Precautions concerning heat generation
by the unit
Be careful during operation of the unit, as the
metal surfaces of the unit may become hot.
Generation of heat during operation of the unit is
not a malfunction.
Phenomena specific to the CMOS image
sensor
The following phenomena are specific to the
CMOS image sensor, and their presence on the
shooting screen do not indicate malfunctions.

Warning
Using this unit for medical purposes
This equipment’s connectors are not isolated.
Do not connect any device other than one which
conforms to IEC60601-1.
When an information technology device or AV
device that uses an alternating current is
connected, current leakage may result in an
electric shock to the patient or operator.
If use of such a device is unavoidable, isolate its
power supply by connecting an isolation
transformer, or by connecting an isolator between
the connecting cables.
After implementing these measures, confirm that
the reduced risk now conforms to IEC60601-1.
