PREFACE

Service

13. 

Servicing - 

Do not attempt to service this video 

equipment yourself as opening or removing covers 
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other 
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service 
personnel.

14. 

Conditions Requiring Service

 - Unplug this video 

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to 
qualified service personnel under the following 
conditions.

A. When the power supply cord or plug is 
damaged.

B. If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen 
into the video product.

C. If the video product has been exposed to rain 
or water.

D. If the video product does not operate normally 
by following the operating instructions. Adjust 
only those controls that are covered by the 
operating instructions. Improper adjustment of 
other controls may result in damage and will often 
require extensive work by a qualified technician 
to restore the video product to its normal 
operation.

E. If the video product has been dropped or the 
cabinet has been damaged.

F. When the video product exhibits a distinct 
change in performance. This indicates a need for 
service.

15. 

Replacement Parts - 

When replacement parts are 

required, have the service technician verify that the 
replacements used have the same safety 
characteristics as the original parts. Use of 
replacements specified by the video product 
manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock or other 
hazards.

16. 

Safety Check 

- Upon completion of any service or 

repairs to this video product, ask the service 
technician to perform safety checks recommended 
by the manufacturer to determine that the video 
product is in safe operating condition.

17. 

Wall or Ceiling Mounting

 - The cameras provided 

with this system should be mounted to a wall or 
ceiling only as instructed in this guide, using the 
provided mounting brackets.

18. 

Heat

 - The product should be situated away from 

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, 
stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that 
produce heat.

Use

19. 

Cleaning -

 Unplug the video product from the wall 

outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or 
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

20. 

Product and Cart Combination

 - Video and cart 

combination should be moved with care. Quick 
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may 
cause the video product and car combination to 
overturn.

21. 

Object and Liquid Entry - 

Never push objects for 

any kind into this video product through openings as 
they may touch dangerous voltage points or 
“short-out” parts that could result in a fire or electric 
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video 
product.

22. 

Lightning

 - For added protection for this video 

product during a lightning storm, or when it is left 
unattended and unused for long periods of time, 
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the 
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage 
to the video product due to lightning and power line 
surges.
