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 on the plug. (Do not pull on the cord.)

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.

6 Precautions

Cleaning

Wipe the cabinets and panels with a dry, 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-5100/5100P Rollabout Package can connect up to four 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.

*You can install an optional interface board for connection with non-ISDN

lines such as RS-449, V.35, and X.21. If you are using an ISDN line, you can also make connections using an I-MUX (Inverse MUX). Multiple party meetings can only be conducted via ISDN lines.

Connects with up to four locations (Multi-meeting)

The PCS-5100/5100P Rollabout Package allows you to connect with up to four locations and to send and receive a still picture. 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-5100/5100P 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 track 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 and using the Remote Commander.

Echo canceler

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

Document scanner and video presentation stand

If you use the PCS-D200 Document Scanner or VID-P100/VID-P150 Video Presentation Stand, you can enhance your meeting with still and motion pictures. You can also use the PCS-T500 Drawing Tablet to add images or text to transmitted documents or pictures.

TV monitor

The TV monitor can be used as a TV by connecting with a VCR. If you install the PCS-G510/G510P Dual Monitor Board, you can connect two TV monitors to — one for displaying still pictures, and one for motion pictures.

About Backup

If the frame is repeatedly extended to the full screen

The camera does not recognize the subject. Select [TRACK] again and go back to the step 2.

If the lamp at the side of the lens lights up

The camera is not capturing the memorized subject correctly. In this case, perform the pan/tilt operation so that the subject comes into the screen. Or have the subject memorized onto the camera again.

The memories of the preset and clock settings are erased when the POWER switch on the camera unit is set to OFF. To retain those memories, set the BACKUP switch at the rear of the camera unit to ON.

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.
