Precautions

On Safety

Power supply

•Before operating the Rollabout 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 power cords, and do not place heavy
objects on them. Damage to the cords may result in fire or electric shock.

•To remove a 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.

On Handling

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.

Installation/storage

Do not expose the system to:

•extremely low or high temperatures.

•damp or dusty room.

•strong vibration.

•devices which generate strong magnetic fields.

•devices (such as radios or TVs) 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.

Features

The PCS-3000/3000P Rollabout Package can connect among three remote
groups via ISDN lines*. 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.
You can add an additional PCS-A300 Microphone (not supplied) for
additional participants.

*You can install an optional interface board for connection via the V.35

interface or for connection among four remote parties.

Connects among three locations (Multi meeting)

The PCS-3000/3000P Rollabout Package allows you to connect among
three locations and send and receive a still picture.
If you install the optional PCS-I300 BRI Board into the Rollabout
Processor, you can connect among four locations. When the remote party
holds a multi meeting, only you can end a meeting and other parties can
continue their meeting.

International standards

The PCS-3000/3000P Rollabout Package complies with ITU-T standards,
for easy connection with remote parties overseas.
(The ITU-T standard has been defined by WTSC (former CCITT).)
WTSC: World Telecommunications Standardization Committee
ITU: International Telecommunication Union

AT (Automatic target tracking) function

In addition to high-speed pan/tilt action, AT (automatic target tracking)
feature allows you to tracks a subject having the memorized color and
brightness automatically.

Easy operation

The system is easy to operate. All operations are carried out by selecting
icons with the Remote Commander.

Echo canceler

A built-in echo canceler decreases sound echo from walls in the meeting
room, allowing for clear sound reproduction.

Video presentation stand

TV monitor

If you use the VID-P100 Video Presentation Stand, you can enhance your
meeting with still and motion pictures.

The TV monitor can be used as a TV by connecting with a VCR.

Notes

•In the camera unit, the built-in lithium battery acts as the power source for
retaining the memories and is kept charged as long as the system is used.
If the system is used for shorter period of time with the BACKUP switch
set to ON, however, the battery is gradually discharged. Besides if you do
not use the system at all for almost 12 weeks, the battery is completely
discharged. To retain the memories of the settings, you should recharge
the battery.

•To recharge the battery, connect the camera unit to the Rollabout
Processor and leave it for approximate 48 hours with the POWER switch
on the camera unit set to ON.

Holding a Meeting With Multiple Remote Parties

The PCS-3000/3000P Rollabout Package allows for audio and video
connection among three different parties (PCS-5000/4000/3000 series
system) at the same time.

You begin a multi meeting by dialing and making line connection with
parties A and B. Once the lines have been connected, party A connects
automatically with party B to form the line connection setup indicated in
the following figure.
Once connections have been made, all three parties can meet as a single
group.

Note on the optional PCS-I300 BRI Board

If you install the optional PCS-I300 BRI Board (see page 4-13), you
can use two ISDN lines (up to 4B). In this case, enter second telephone
number on B1 and B2 entry lines.

Notes

•If the ISDN line system in your country designates one number per line,
conduct the following:
For an ISDN line at a 2B (1B is 56/64 Kbps) transfer rate, enter the same
number on two consecutive lines. When you install the optional PCS­I300 BRI Board for a 4B transfer rate, enter the two numbers (the same
number for each) on two consecutive lines. (The faster the transfer rate,
the smoother motions will appear on the TV monitor.)
Use a comma (,) or an asterisk (*) to add a sub address. Only numbers
can be used.

•If the remote party uses a PCS-2000 series system and local party uses
two ISDN lines, enter the remote party’s telephone numbers in the order
they are connected to the ISDN A and B jacks.

•If you are using the ISDN line and calling a party in the USA from
outside the USA, set [LINE RATE] to [56K].

For details on line rate settings, see page 2-4.

To connect via the V.35 interface

If the optional PCS-I500 V.35 line interface board is installed and connect
to private line or a terminal adapter via the V.35 interface, select [V.35] in
[LINE I/F] and enter as follows.
The example below uses Channel A only. If you use Channel A and B (56
Kbps × 2 or 64 Kbps × 2), enter “V” for both A1 and A2.

To change the ISDN transfer rate temporarily

The PCS-3000/3000P Rollabout Package is set to 64 Kbps for an ISDN
line at the factory. However, some countries (e.g., USA) and regions may
have 64 Kbps and 56 Kbps ISDN transfer rates. If the remote party has set
its transfer rate to 56 Kbps, you need to set your system to 56 Kbps to
communicate with that system.
Before making a call to such a party, change the transfer rate to 56 Kbps in
[LINE RATE] in the DIAL SETUP menu.

Note

If the transfer rate at the remote Rollabout Processor is set to 56 Kbps, the
connection will be made at 56 Kbps even if your transfer rate has been set
to [AUTO].
