WARNING
This device is not transportable. There are no user serviceable parts in the SPOT camera or power supply with
the exception of the power supply fuse. Make sure to
disconnect
the power supply from the electrical power
source and from the camera prior to attempting to change the fuse. Failure to do so could result in damage to
the camera or power supply and may pose an electrical shock hazard to the user.
Only use the proper fuse as indicated on the power supply label. Failure to comply with this instruction may
pose a fire hazard and danger to the user.
The user is strongly advised to protect the camera and the power supply to avoid the entry of any small object or
liquids into the camera casing through the camera or power supply openings either while the camera system is
in place or during movement from one location to another. Do not spill liquids on, allow small objects into the
camera or power supply casing, or immerse the camera or power supply in liquids. Failure to comply with this
instruction may pose an electrical shock hazard to the user and damage the equipment.
