Safety Instructions
• Do not open the HD transmitter or HD receiver enclosures. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel only. The use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this user guide may result in
exposure to shock and/or electrical or mechanical hazards.
• Do not immerse the units in water.
• Always disconnect a unit’s power by disconnecting the main plug.
• Clean with a dry cloth only.
• Keep powered on units at least 20 cm away from your body.
• Do not expose the units to moisture or excessive heat. Unit operating temperature is 320F-1130F (00C-400C).
• Unplug the units during lightning storms and long storage periods.
• For CONNEX ProSight receiver only – the provided power supply is for indoor use only.
• Use only the supplied accessories or those recommended on the AMIMON website. Accessories (including cables) must not be replaced,
as this may affect performance or functionality, or damage the unit. We highly recommend that you use the provided AMIMON cables. If
an alternate cable is used, make sure that it is of the highest quality.
• Do not use the product if there is any physical damage to the enclosure.
• For CONNEX ProSight transmitter only – it is normal for the transmitter to become slightly hot during use. However, if the enclosure’s
temperature becomes too hot to touch, turn the transmitter off and contact support.
• Do not let the product come into contact with corrosive materials.
• Do not let the product come into contact with fire.

Safety|Potential Hazards
Doc P/N: 9040962 | Rev 06 | Printed 17 August 2017
Navigation pane Potential Hazards
The CONNEX ProSight HD transmitter and HD receiver contain HD wireless video module devices that should be operated according to the same
rules and limitations applicable to normal HD wireless video module devices. Do not operate the units in environments that may be susceptible to
radio interference resulting in danger, specifically:
• Areas where prohibited by law – follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always ensure that the unit is
turned off (the LED is not lit) when instructed to do so or whenever it may cause interference or danger.
• Where an explosive atmosphere may be present – do not operate the CONNEX ProSight unit in any area where a potentially
explosive atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware
and comply with all signs and instructions.
• It is inadvisable to operate the CONNEX ProSight unit while at a refueling point or service station – users are reminded to
observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting
operations are in progress.
• Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked – potential locations can include gas
stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane),
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders), and any other area where it would normally
be advisable to turn off a vehicle’s engine.
• Near medical and life support equipment – do not operate the CONNEX ProSight unit in any area where medical equipment
or life support equipment is in use, or near any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. As the CONNEX ProSight
unit may transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment, the host communications device must be turned off in such areas.
