Precautions

consideration:
• Avoid very damp places. If the environment is wet or damp a rain cover must be used to
protect the unit.
• Do not subject the unit to severe shocks or vibration.
• Do not expose the camera to extremes of temperature.
• Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or close to heating appliances for extended periods.
• Do not allow sunlight to shine into the viewfinder.

• Be careful when connecting and disconnecting triax cables.
– Do not mix triax units from different types of camera systems (HD with SD, RGB triax
with digital triax).
– Make connections swiftly and firmly to avoid false error messages.
