OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
■
The camera does not have a power switch.
■
What to do if OVER HEAT appears on the display.
This message indicates that the inside of the camera
has become extremely hot.
Immediately turn off the camera and contact your
retailer.
■
What to do if WARM UP-PLEASE WAIT.** appears
on the display.
This message indicates that the inside of the camera is
cold.
Please wait for a short time until the heating fan warms
up the inside of the camera.
The countdown shown as the numbers in “**” in quotes
is a guideline of the time required. When the value
reaches “0” the inside of the camera is warm and the
on-screen display disappears. The camera is then
reset and operation is normal.
■
Note the following to ensure long-term trouble-
free operation
Long operation under high temperatures and high
humidity can cause components to deteriorate and
shorten camera life.
Make sure the camera is installed in a location where it
is not directly exposed to heat from a radiator, heater,
etc.
■
Avoid using this camera in a food preparation
area and other locations where there are large
amounts of steam vapour and oil.
■
About the Camera Cleaning Function
Prolonged use can lead to noise on the monitor and
divergence of preset positions.
If such conditions persist even after you perform
camera cleaning (page 38), use the special setup
menu to execute the “REFRESH” operation (page 43).
■
Do not allow anything to forcefully hit the dome
cover
Anything hitting the dome cover may damage the
camera or cause leaks.
■
This camera is designed for use in a hanging
configuration only.
Do not use it in an upright configuration on a tabletop,
floor, etc. Such conditions create the risk of
malfunction.
■
CCD colour filter burn-in
Intense light concentrated on one spot for a long
period can cause deterioration of the CCD internal
colour filters, and discoloration of the affected part.
Even if the camera position is changed from a fixed
position, the discoloration at the previous location of
the concentrated light will remain on the screen.
■
Do not point the camera at a strong light source.
Intense light such as that produced by a spotlight
concentrated on one part of the screen can cause
blooming (rainbow around the strong light) or smearing
(vertical stripes above and below the strong light).
■
Pictures directly below the camera
A circular object appears in the centre of the picture, it
is caused by the shape of the dome cover and is not a
malfunction.
■
Do not aim the camera at the same object for a
long time.
Burn-in of an image may be caused on the fluorescent
screen of CRT.
■
Handle the camera carefully.
Do not drop the camera, or subject it to strong impact
or vibration. Such conditions create the risk of
malfunction.
■
Consumables
Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive motors,
cooling fan motor and slip-rings inside the camera are
subject to wear with time. Contact the nearest service
dealer about replacement and maintenance of such
parts.
■
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the
camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft cloth
moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral
kitchen detergent. Wring all excess liquid from the
cloth before wiping the camera. Next, wipe off all
remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth.
Contact a qualified service person before cleaning the
lenses. (Lenses do not move during cleaning.)
A dirty dome cover or lens causes deterioration of
picture quality. Use lens cleaning paper (like the type
available for cleaning eyeglasses or a camera lens) to
clean the lens.
The dome cover is particularly susceptible to damage.
Gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
