Precautions for use
Observe the following in addition to the information included in “Read this first!”.
Handle carefully
Do not drop the product, or subject it to a strong impact or vibration.
Do not carry or move the product by the PAN/TILT lever or a dial.
Doing so may cause a failure or accident.
Use the product in an ambient temperature of 0 °C to 40 °C
(32 °F to 104 °F)
Exposure to temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F)
could adversely affect Internal components.
Power off before connecting or disconnecting cables
Before connecting or disconnecting the cables, be sure to turn the power
off.
Avoid humidity and dust
Avoid using the product in a very humid or dusty place because a lot of
humidity and dust will cause damage to the internal parts.
Cleaning
Turn the power off and wipe the product with a dry cloth. To remove
stubborn dirt, dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen detergent
(neutral detergent), wring it out well, and wipe the product gently.
Then, wipe the product with a cloth dampened with water. Finally, wipe
the product with a dry cloth.

If a chemical cleaning cloth is to be used, carefully read through
the precautions for its use.
Notes
Avoid open flames
Do not place candles and other sources open flame near the unit.
Avoid exposure to water
Make sure that the unit is not directly exposed to water. Exposure to
water could damage it.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and is to be
disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of the unit properly in
order to protect the environment.
LCD panels
The pixels of the LCD panel are controlled to obtain high precision with
99.99% of the effective pixels. This leaves less than 0.01% of pixels that
may not light or may remain on all the time. This is normal and will have
no effect on the images you shoot.
There may be some unevenness on the screen depending on the image
displayed.
Wiping or rubbing the LCD screen with a rough cloth may damage it.
LCD response time and brightness vary with operating temperature.
When the unit is left in a high‑temperature and high‑humidity location for
prolonged periods, the LCD panel characteristics may change and result
in uneven image quality.
Due to the characteristics of LCD panels, prolonged display of bright
still images or prolonged operation in high‑temperature or high‑humidity
environments may result in residual images, luminance reduction, burn‑
in, banding, or panel defects and degradation that result in areas of
permanently changed brightness.
In addition, avoid prolonged continuous use in the following types of
environments.
z
Confined areas with high temperature and humidity
z
Near the exhaust vent of air conditioning equipment, etc.
Prolonged use involving the images and environments described above
will accelerate deterioration of the LCD panel over time.
To prevent deterioration over time and its related phenomena, we
recommend the following.
z
Do not display bright still images for prolonged periods.
z
Lower the brightness.
z
Turn off the power of the unit (and the power of the hub) when the
unit is not in use.
Residual images will gradually disappear as different images are
displayed.
PoE power supply
If both an external DC power supply and a PoE power supply are
connected, the power supply from the external DC power supply
will be used. If the external DC power supply is disconnected from a
state where both power supplies were connected, the unit will restart
automatically.
Use a category 5e cable or higher for the PoE connection. The
maximum cable length for the connection between the power supply
device and the unit is 100 m (328.1 ft). Using a cable that is category 5
or lower may result in decreased power supply performance.
When a personal computer that supports Gigabit Ethernet and a PoE
injector are connected via a straight LAN cable, the unit may not be
recognized by the personal computer. In such cases, connect the unit to
the personal computer via a cross cable (or cross connection).
