Introduction
●
●
●
●
●
Noticeable video image beat and other noise as well as color disturbances may result when the camera is
operated near sources of strong electrical signal and magnetic fields such as radio and television sets,
transformers, railways and power transmission lines.
Insufficient heat dissipation may cause malfuntion. The camera enclosure is being used for cooling. Do not
impede the flow of air around the camera by placing the camera too close to walls, etc.
Use extreme caution, make all possible safety considerations, and notify the manufacturer if the camera must
be used under following conditions:
1
．
Environmental conditions outside operational specification limits and design parameters.
2
．
Where safety is paramount and significant impact on person or property is anticipated.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstances for use of this product. Sufficiently test and
analyze the results for your intended operational conditions and parameters prior to deployment, and use
the camera at your own risk.
Design and manufacture of this product were not intended for regulation of equipment or apparatus which is

not operate this product for such critical purposes.
Transportation
●
Handle this product with care during transportation. Avoid vibration and shock.
Maintenance
●
If you notice dust particles on the image sensor, use commercially available optic air dusters to remove them
gently. Spray-type blowers are not recommended, as water particles may disperse inside the camera. Use
extreme caution when cleaning the sensor.
CMOS Image Sensor and Related Phenomenon
●
Phenomenon listed below, which may be visible on recorded images, are common to CMOS image sensors
and are not malfunctions.
Other
●
Turn the system power OFF for safety and power conservation and remove the battery when not using the
camera for a long time.
Rechargeable Battery
●
●
●
●
●
●
Use only the designated battery, IDX model SSL--JVC50, to ensure trouble-free operation.
Battery is not charged when purchased.
Use the designated charger to fully charge the battery prior to initial use.
Battery life may become short or the battery may not function normally at low temperatures

. Try warming the battery in your pocket before use if this happens.
Do not subject the battery to excessive heat through exposure to direct sunlight or fire.
If you are not going to use the battery for an extended period of time...
①
Completely deplte the battery before removing from the camera to prevent battery degradation.
②
Fully charge and completely deplete at least once every six months.
Store disconnected battery in a cool (approx. 15

CMOS image sensors are occasionally affected by cosmic rays and other external disturbances, which
manifest themselves as small white dots on the captured image. This is due to the functional
principles of CMOS devices and is not a malfunction. These white dots may become more
pronounced when:
・
the camera is used in hot temperatures.
・
the gain is increased.
・
the shutter speed is decreased.
・
White Dots
When fine patterns or stripes are captured, you may see patterns and colors which are different
from the actual image.
