[2] Either one of the following marks is indicated by a serigraph or label.
Phase 3
Phase 3A
2. Soldering
Since the melting point of lead-free solder used for the products conforming to RoHS directive is 20 to 45 degrees Celsius higher
than that of conventional solder with lead (Sn-Pb eutectic solder), a high temperature needs to be set to a soldering iron. Taking
allowable temperature limit of the parts and stable work into consideration, use a soldering iron with excellent thermal recovery
characteristics.
- Recommended solder composition is “Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu” or equivalent.
- Separate the soldering iron exclusively for RoHS products and the soldering iron for conventional use.
- Set the temperature of the soldering bit to 350 to 370 degrees Celsius.
The temperature may need to be adjusted according to the size of the copper foil land on the print-circuit board and the tip width
of the soldering bit.
- Finish by a lead-free solder looks dull or whitish compared to conventional solder with lead.
- If the customer mixed the lead-solder with the main body wiring or the circuit board, it becomes guarantee off the subject.
Ikegami doesn't guarantee to do the repair work. Because the solder polluted with lead cannot be removed.
3. Parts
Be sure to use parts conforming to RoHS directive.

When you disconnect the cable, be sure to hold the plug and pull. Failure to do so may cause a ¿re
or electric shock due to a damaged cable.
To inspect or operate on the inside of the equipment, turn off the power and wait for one or two
minutes before starting work. High voltage is present in some modules and connectors of this
product.
When you want to intercept a power supply surely, I pull a ¿ber cable of the camera side, or, please
pull an AC plug of the CCU side.
Regarding the Product
Do not lift or hold the camera by the projection parts.
If you lift or hold the camera by the view¿nder or the lens, you are prone to dropping it. Moreover,
the connection parts between the camera and the view¿nder, or the camera and the lens may be
exposed to unnecessary pressure, which may cause equipment damage.
Always install the accessories or connect the cables after placing the camera on a ¿xed position.
When installing such accessories as lens or microphone, ¿x the camera on a stable place (e.g. on a
table, a tripod, etc.).
Avoid use or storage in the following conditions:
- Extremely high/low temperature
- In direct sunlight for a long time, or near a heater
- High humidity or dusty
- Exposed to water or other liquid
- Strong vibration or shock
- Strong magnetic ¿eld or radio waves

- In rain without the rain cover

vi HDK-790GX 1403 VER1 (U)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Regarding the Product
Be sure to hold the plug and pull when you disconnect the cable.
Failure to do so may cause a ¿re or electric shock due to a broken cable.
Avoid moving the equipment suddenly from an extremely cold place to a warm place.
Condensation may occur in the Charged Couple Device (CCD) or other parts.
Do not drop or insert a metal object such as a pin or a foreign object into the equipment.
Do not spread or spill water or other liquid on the equipment.
Do not subject the equipment to a strong shock or vibration.
Doing so may cause damage or malfunction of the equipment.
Since a CCD is adopted as the image sensor in picture elements, no burning occurs in ordinary
operation. However, when shooting a subject which emits an excessive amount of light (such as the
sun) for long hours, take great care for temperature increase inside of the CCD.
Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not
to let a laser beam become directed into the lens of the camera.
Before connecting a VTR or accessories, make sure that the camera and equipment to be connected
are powered off. Also, be sure to use dedicated cables.
Excessive sound pressure from the headset may cause a hearing loss.
Regarding the Power and the Lithium Battery
Use the product in compliance with the rating of the fuse within the product and that within the
Camera Control Unit (CCU). Otherwise, a fault can occur.
Do not use an unspeci¿ed battery.
Wrong usage of batteries may cause liquid leak, explosion, and heat, and at worst injury or ¿re.
When changing or discarding a battery, please contact Ikegami’s sales and service centers.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to
the instructions.
Regarding the Fiber Connector and the Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic cable connectors are quite similar to each other in shape. Before connecting ¿ber optic
cables, thoroughly check male or female, the diameter, type and manufacturer of connectors.
If the ferrule is dirty, wipe the dirt off with cotton swabs soaked in alcohol.
The ¿ber cable supplies AC 220 V power from CCU to the camera.
Although safety measures are fully taken such as the safety circuit that stops the power supply
from the CCU within a short time after an optical ¿ber cable is removed or short-circuited, never
force to bend, twist, or damage the cable, and take great care when handling.
