Cautions:
1. Make sure the power supply voltage is correct before using the camera.
2. Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shock.
3. Do not touch CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) modules with fingers. If cleaning
is necessary, Please use dry and soft cloth for outside panels cleaning. For persistent smudges, use soft
cloth with a bit of cleaning agent, wipe it gently and dry it after all the above operations. Volatile
solvents like ethanol, benzene and dilution agent are all forbidden, or they may damage the surface of
the panels otherwise. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, please turn on the lens cap
to protect the CMOS from dirt.
4. Do not aim the camera at the sun or extra bright places. A blooming or smear may occur otherwise
(which is not a malfunction however), and affecting the endurance of CMOS at the same time.
5. The CMOS may be burned out by a laser beam, so when any laser equipment is on using, make sure
that the surface of CMOS will not be exposed to the laser beam.
6. Do not place the camera in extremely hot, cold(the operating temperature shall be－10℃～＋60℃),
dusty or damp locations, and do not expose it to high electromagnetism radiation.
7. To avoid heat accumulation, good ventilation is required for operating environment.
8. Keep the camera away from liquid while on using.
9. While on a delivery, the camera shall be packed in its original packing, or packing of the same texture.
10. Regular part replacement: a few parts (e.g. electrolytic capacitor) of the equipment shall be replaced
regularly according to their average enduring time. The average time varies because of differences
between operating environment and using history, so regular checking is recommended for all the
users. Please contact with your dealer for more details.
