Important Safety Instructions
When using your video equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using.
2. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or
contact hot surfaces.
3. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at
least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated
for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
appliance. Contact an authorized service dealer when repair
work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
when the appliance is used subsequently.
5. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause a risk of ire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.

Camera and Speakerphone Installation (continued)
Camera and Speakerphone Setup
You are now ready to run the initial camera setup. The computer
will recognize the camera as a new component and load the
appropriate drivers. This can take up to several minutes and you
may need to follow on-screen instructions. If the computer is
using Windows 7 or later version, the computer will automatically
detect the camera, choose the proper drivers, and install the
drivers without your input. Once the green LED on the local
CAT5 to USB extender is illuminated and the drivers are installed,
you are ready to use the camera.
If the LED does not turn green after install, your computer may
need to be restarted before the camera can be used. This could
be a result of the type of operating system and other hardware/
software installed, and is not necessarily a faulty device.
Selection the Camera and Speakerphone
