2. Handling Precautions
The camera must not be used for any nuclear equipment or aerospace equipment with which mechanical
failure or malfunction could result in serious bodily injury or loss of human life. Our warranty does not apply to
dameges or defects caused by irregular and /or abnormal use of the product.
Please observe all warnings and cautions stated below.
Our warranty does not apply to damages or malfunctions caused by neglecting these precautions.
Do not use or store the camera in the following extreme conditions :
- Extremely dusty or humid places.
- Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature -5℃ to +45℃).
- Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters.
- Places subject to fluorescent light reflections.
- Places subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions.
- Places subject to strong vibration.
· Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower.
· Do not apply excessive force or static electricity that could damage the camera.
· Do not shoot direct images that are extremely bright (e.g., light source, sun, etc.), and when camera is not
in use, put the lens cap on.
· Confirm the mutual ground potential carefully and then connect the camera to monitors or computers.
AC leaks from the connected devices may cause damages or destroy the camera.
· Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Unstable or improper power supply
voltage may cause damages or malfunction of the camera.
· The voltage ripple of camera power DC +12V±10% shall be within ±50mV. Improper power supply
voltage may cause noises on the video signals.
