•
Make sure NOT to touch the shield of the camera cable
connected to a computer and the ground terminal of
the lines at the same time.
•
Use only DC power supplies with insulated cases. These
are identified by having only TWO power connectors.
•
Although IEEE 1394a is functionally plug and play, the
physical ports may be damaged by excessive ESD (elec-
trostatic discharge), when connected under powered
conditions. It is good practice to bring the metal part,
which is the shield of the IEEE 1394 cable, in contact
with the housing of the camera (before plugging it into
the camera) and, at the other end, in contact with
metal parts of the computer, before plugging it into the
port of the computer. This ensures that excessive
charge can flow safely to ground.
•
If you feel uncomfortable with the previous advice, or if
you have no knowledge about the connectivity of an
installation, we strongly recommend powering down all
systems before connecting or disconnecting a camera.
