Attaching the Dome Cover

The supplied screwdriver is exclusively designed to match the dome screws. In
case you need to adjust the camera at a later time, do not discard the screwdriver.

STEP 1

Route all the cables through the base channel under the camera.

TIP

Use the two L-shaped audio cables when you route the cables to prevent
having to remove a tab.

STEP 2

(Optional) Remove the tab (or tabs) from the dome cover to accommodate the
cables. To avoid injury, place the pliers in the middle of the tab and pull outward.

STEP 3

Attach the dome cover to your Cisco VC 220 camera.

STEP 4

Secure the two dome screws with a screwdriver.

STEP 5

Ensure all parts of your Cisco VC 220 camera are securely installed

You are now ready to start using your Cisco VC 220 camera.
