Preparing the System

Inserting Batteries into the Remote Commander

Most of the operations with the Video Communication System can be controlled with the supplied Remote Commander.

1 Remove the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert two size AA (R6) batteries (supplied) with correct polarities into the

battery compartment.

Note

Be sure to insert the batteries E side first. Inserting them forcibly e side first may damage the insulated film covering the batteries and cause a short circuit.

3 Replace the cover.

Battery life

When the Remote Commander does not function properly, replace both the batteries with new ones.

Notes on batteries

To avoid damage from possible battery leakage or corrosion, observe the following:

• Make sure to insert the batteries with the polarities in the correct direction.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.

• Do not attempt to charge the batteries.

12 Preparing the System

Page 13

• If you do not intend to use the Remote Commander for a long period of time, remove the batteries.

• If battery leakage occurs, clean the battery compartment and replace all the batteries with new ones.

• Install the speakers behind the microphones.

• Place the microphone in a quiet, echo-free location.

• Install microphones away from equipment that may cause noise.

• Avoid covering a microphone with paper, etc., or moving it. If you do either, extreme noise and echo may be heard temporarily by the remote party. In this case, wait until the echo disappears.

Controlling the Remote System With the Tone Signal – DTMF Transmission

The Video Communication System enables you to control the remote system connected by transmitting the tone signal (DTMF: Dual Tone Multi Frequency) assigned to the numbers for dialing (0-9, , ).

1 Press the button on the Remote Commander during communication.

The DTMF menu appears on the monitor screen.

2 Press one of the number buttons (0-9, , ) on the Remote Commander

corresponding to the tone signal you want to transmit to the remote party.

The tone signal will be transmitted when the button is pressed.

3 To stop transmitting the tone signal, press the PUSH ENTER button on the

Remote Commander.

Layout Considerations

• Avoid having large, moving objects, especially people, behind the participants, as the quality of the picture transmitted to the remote party will deteriorate.

• Do not seat participants in front of a wall with fine stripe patterns.

• Choose a room where echo will not occur.

• Do not install the system near noise sources such as air conditioners or copy machines.

• Avoid placing the system in a room where there are the speakers used for an in-house broadcasting system.

Adjust room lighting so that it falls on the participants. Avoid direct light on the monitor screen. Light intensity on faces should be about 300 lux or more.

If an inverter type or brightness-adjustable type of fluorescent lamp is used, the sensitivity of the Remote Commander may deteriorate.

Lighting Considerations

Do not point the camera toward a window where sunlight comes in as back lighting may decrease the contrast. If it is necessary, cover the window with a thick curtain.

Installing the Communication Terminal and Camera

You can fix the Communication Terminal or the Camera to your chosen place of installation using the supplied Velcro.

1 Stick the supplied Velcro to the

bottom of the Communication Terminal or Camera.

About a “Memory Stick”

What is “Memory Stick”?

“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external data storage. “Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” turns to the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be used with products compliant with standard “Memory Stick.”

2 Stick another piece of Velcro to the

installation place.

3 Install the Communication Terminal

or the Camera on the installation place by securing the two pieces of Velcro.

Types of “Memory Stick”

There are five types of “Memory Stick” depending on various uses.

• “Memory Stick PRO” Equipped with MagicGate copyright protection technology, designed for use only with equipment compatible with “Memory Stick PRO”.

• “Memory Stick-R” Data stored in this type of “Memory Stick” is not overwritten. It can be used only with equipment compatible with “Memory Stick-R”. Data that requires MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be stored on this type.

• “Memory Stick” Any type of data except copyrightprotected data that requires MagicGate copyright protection technology can be stored.

• “MagicGate Memory Stick” Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology.

• “Memory Stick-ROM” Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. Recording or erasing data cannot be done with this type.

Page 98

• “Memory Stick” (with memory select function) Equipped with multiple memories (128 MB). You can select the memory to use with the memory select switch on the back of the “Memory Stick”. You cannot use different memories simultaneously or continuously.

Notes on “Memory Stick Duo”

• Be sure to attach “Memory Stick Duo” to the adapter with the correct orientation.

• Be sure to insert the Memory Stick Duo adapter with the correct orientation. Otherwise, the unit may be damaged.

• Do not insert the Memory Stick Duo adapter without “Memory Stick Duo” attached. Doing so may result in malfunction of the unit.

What is MagicGate ?

MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses encryption technology.

Before using a “Memory Stick”

Terminal

Write-protect tab

Labeling position

• When you set the “Memory Stick” writeprotect tab to “LOCK,” data cannot be recorded, edited, or erased.

• Use a sharp object, such as a ballpoint pen, to move the “Memory Stick Duo” erasure prevention switch.

• Data may be damaged if: – You remove the “Memory Stick” or turn

off the unit while it is reading or writing data.

– You use the “Memory Stick” in a

location subject to the effects of static electricity or electric noise.

Notes

• Do not attach any other material than the supplied label onto the label space.

• Attach the label so that it does not stick out beyond the labeling position.

• Do not write forcefully on the “Memory Stick Duo” memo area.

• Carry and store the “Memory Stick” in its case.

• Prevent metallic objects or your finger from coming into contact with the metal parts of the connecting section.

• Do not strike, bend, or drop the “Memory Stick.”

• Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory Stick.”

• Do not allow the “Memory Stick” to get wet.

• Do not use or store the “Memory Stick” in a location that is: – extremely hot, such as in a car parked in

the sun. – under direct sunlight. – very humid or subject to corrosive

substances.
