Precautions
On Safety
Power supply
• Before operating the Compact Conference Package, make
sure the operating voltage of the unit is identical with that of
your local power supply. The Remote Commander operates
on two size AA (R6) alkaline batteries.
• Do not unnaturally bend or crimp the power cord, and do not
place heavy objects on it. Damage to the cord may result in
fire or electric shock.
• To remove the power cord from an AC outlet, pull out the
plug. (Do not pull out the cord itself.)
Do not disassemble the system
Do not open or disassemble the cabinets of the system. Electric
shock may result if you touch the inside of the cabinets.
Do not put foreign objects into the system
Avoid having metallic or flammable object, liquid, or foreign
matters fall into the cabinets of the system. Otherwise a
malfunction may result.
In case of trouble
In case of trouble such as smoke, odd smell, or noise, turn off
all units of the system. Disconnect all the power cords and
connecting cords. Then contact the place of purchase or an
authorized Sony representative.
ISDN
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless
the telephone line has been disconnected at the network
interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock
from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of
the leak.
Precautions 9
Precautions
On Handling
Installation/storage
Do not expose the system to:
• Extremely low or high temperatures.
• Damp or dusty room.
• Strong vibration.
• Near devices which generate strong magnetic fields.
• Near devices (such as radios) which transmit strong radio
wave.
• Noisy place.
Cleaning
Wipe the cabinets and panels with a dry and soft cloth. If the
stain is serious, slightly moisten the cloth with mild detergent.
Afterward, use a dry cloth to wipe it. Do not use solvents such
as thinner, benzine, alcohol, as they may damage the finish of
the cabinets.

Chapter 1
Preparation
The PCS-1500/1500P Compact Conference Package can
connect a remote party via an ISDN (Integrated Services
Digital Network) line1). It sends and receives images and
sound, allowing you to have virtual face-to-face meetings with
people in other cities or countries.
The system accommodates up to three participants in one
location. However, you can add the optional PCS-A300
Microphones for additional participants.
If you upgrade the Compact Conference Package using the
PCS-UC150 Upgrade Kit, you can use the Compact
Conference Package as the MCU (Multipoint Control Unit) to
hold a point to multi-point meeting among four terminals.
1) You can install an optional interface board for connection
with V.35 interface, with 6B channels, or on a LAN.
International standards
The PCS-1500/1500P Compact Conference Package complies
with ITU-T Recommendations, for easy connection with
remote parties overseas. (ITU-T Recommendations have been
defined by WTSC (former CCITT).)
