PRECAUTIONS
OPERATING
•
Before operating, make sure that the power supply and video output are
connected correctly.
•
While operating, if any abnormal condition or malfunction is observed, stop
using the camera immediately and call your local dealer.
HANDLING
•
Do not disassemble the camera and never touch parts inside the camera.
•
Do not drop the camera or subject it to shocks and vibrations to avoid
possible damage.
•
When attaching or removing the lens, handle with care so that moisture and
dust do not enter the camera.
•
Do not shoot any source of bright light. If the object contains very bright
areas, bright vertical or horizontal lines may appear on the screen. This is
called “smear” and is a phenomenon, which often occurs with solid-state
pickups. It is not a malfunction.
INSTALLING AND STORING
•
Do not point the camera at the sun. This could damage the camera whether
it is operating or not.
•
Do not install the camera in extreme temperature conditions.
•
Be sure that the ambient temperature is less than 104°F (40°C) for long-term
continuous operation.
•
Avoid installing in humid or dusty places.
•
Avoid installing in places where there is radiation. This could damage CCD
and other components and cause malfunction.
•
Avoid installing in places where there are strong magnetic fields and
electrical signals.
•
Avoid installing in places where the camera would be subject to strong
vibrations.
•
Never expose the camera to rain and water.
CLEANING
•
Turn the power off and wipe off the dirt with dry soft cloths. If it is extremely
dirty, use furniture-cleaning tissue. Do not use alcohols, petroleum
distillates, liquid cleaners, or sprays.
PERFORMING DAILY CHECKS
•
Make daily checks for proper operation for surveillance use. In order to
maintain normal operation, the output of the camera should be checked by
user every day for a clear and focused picture.
