bumping the product.
Failure to observe this may cause injury.
The measures of protection against snowfall shall be taken.
Weight of snow may cause a fall of the product resulting in injury or accidents.
Protect the product against snowfall by installing under eaves.
Avoid installing this bracket in the locations where salt damage occurs or corro-
sive gas is produced.
Otherwise, the mounting portions will deteriorate and accidents such as a fall of this product may occur.
Do not hang down from this product or use this product as a pedestal.
Failure to observe this may cause injury or accidents.
Do not install this product on a place that is greatly influenced by wind.
Installation on a place where the wind speed is 60 m/s {approx. 134 mph} or more may cause a fall
of the product resulting in injury or accidents.

Precautions for installation
Panasonic assumes no responsibility for injuries or property damage resulting
from failures arising out of improper installation or operation inconsistent with
this documentation.
Take notice of humidity.
Install this product when the humidity is low. If installation is performed when it is raining or in very
humid conditions, the inside may be affected by humidity, causing mist-over inside the camera.
Mounting method for this product
This product is designed to be used as a pendant mount camera. If the product is mounted on a
desktop or at a slant, it may not work correctly and its lifetime may be shortened.
Do not place this product in the following places:
• Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool
• Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a kitchen
• Locations that have a specific environment that is subject to an inflammable atmosphere or sol-
vents
• Locations where radiation, an x-ray, a strong radio wave, or a strong magnetic field is generated
• Locations near coasts directly subjected to sea breezes, or locations subject to corrosive gases
such as from hot springs, volcanic regions, etc.
• Locations where the temperature is not within the specified range (The ambient operating tem-
perature of the installed camera.)
• Locations subject to condensation as the result of severe changes in temperature
(In case of installing the product in such locations, the inside of camera may become foggy or
condensation may be caused in the camera.)
• Locations subject to vibrations, such as on vehicles, marine vessels, or above product lines
(This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)
Screw tightening
• Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver may damage the screws or cause tightening
excessively.
• When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right angle to the surface. After tightening the
screws or bolts, perform checks to ensure that the tightening is sufficient enough so that there is
no movement or looseness.
Protection from lightning
When cables are used outdoors, there is a chance that they may be affected by lightning. In such a
case, install a lightning arrestor close to the camera, and make the length of the network cable
between the camera and lightning arrestor as short as possible to prevent the camera from being
damaged by lightning.
Make sure to remove this product if it will no longer be used.
