Legal notice
For customers in the U.S.A.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However there is no guarantee that interferences will not occur in a particular installation.
If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• Use a different line outlet for the receiver.
• Consult a radio or TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could
void your authority to operate this equipment. The shielded interface cable recommended in this
manual must be used with this equipment in order to comply with the limits for a computing
device pursuant to Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
For customers in Canada
This apparatus complies with the Class B limits for radio noise emissions set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations.
Pour utilisateurs au Canada
Cet appareil est conforme aux normes classe B pour bruits radioélectriques, spécifiées dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique.

Manta Manta cameras have a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
GigE GigE is the abbreviation for Gigabit Ethernet.
All AVT Manta cameras are GigE Vision compliant cameras with Gigabit Ethernet
interface. AVT Manta cameras work with standard Gigabit Ethernet hardware
and cables and have cable lengths up to 100 m, using conventional network
cabling.
GigE Vision The GigE Vision standard is an interface standard for digital machine vision
cameras widely supported in the industrial imaging industry. G. In contrast,
GigE (Gigabit Ethernet) is just the network GigE Vision is built on.
GenICam GenICam is the command structure for the GigE Vision camera control. GenICam
is administered by the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA).
GenICam establishes a common camera control interface so that third-party
software can communicate with cameras from various manufacturers without
customization. It is incorporated as part of the GigE Vision standard.

FCC – Class B Device
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential environment. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a resi-
dential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense. You are cautioned that
any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void
your authority to operate this equipment.

Note
PoE capable cameras
How can I distinguish between PoE capable cameras and
cameras that are not PoE capable?
PoE capable cameras have the letters PoE written on the
camera’s label on the bottom side of the camera.
