SAFETY INFORMATION
Caution! Do not open the HD7000 unit. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Opening the unit voids the warranty and can also cause injury. Please refer servicing to Emblaze VCON-trained service personnel.
When you use an HD7000 system, observe the following safety guidelines:
Danger! The internal areas of the unit and auxiliary equipment are sources of
voltage that, if not handled properly, constitute danger of bodily harm. DO NOT operate the unit with any of its covers (including main cover, bezels, filler brackets, front-panel inserts, and so on) removed. INCORRECT replacement of the Remote Control battery can cause an explosion. Replace only with the same or equivalent-type of battery recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Make sure that the power is turned off and all equipment is disconnected
from the power supply before making any equipment connections.
2. Make sure the monitor and attached accessories (PTZ camera, VCR,
document camera, and so on) are electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
3. To help avoid possible damage to the system cards, wait 5 seconds after
turning off the system before disconnecting a device from the computer.
4. To help prevent electric shock, plug the unit and accessories’ power cables
into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with three­prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
5. Make sure that nothing rests on the unit system’s cables and that the cables
are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
6. Do not install this equipment near water, or in an otherwise wet or damp
environment.
7. Do not run the equipment in an environment with ambient temperature
higher than 35°C or lower than 10°C.
8. Keep food and liquids away from the system or accessories.
9. Keep the unit away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block
cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath the unit, and do not place the computer in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.
10. Do not install or operate this equipment if chemical gas leakage is expected
in the area.
FCC Warning
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.
The FCC Wants You to Know

4 CAMERA ADJUSTMENTS FOR NA AND JAPAN

In North America and Japan it is recommended that you change the Refresh Rate of the camera and in the HD7000 configuration. This is because the electrical network affects the fluorescent flicker rate and the default frame rate for the HD7000 and its camera is optimized for electrical network used in Europe (this is similar to using NTSC or PAL on standard definition systems).

Changing the Refresh Rate

1. Select Settings > Hardware > Camera.
2. Change the setting to NTSC and click the Ok button.
