For Successful Use
When using the unit:
When it begins to thunder, consider the use environment. If
necessary, take this machine out of service temporarily, and
do not touch it.
An electric shock will occur.
࣭Avoid bending (twisting, or pulling) the power cord and the
connected cables forcibly.
If a cord or a cable sheath is torn, an electric shock will occur.
When installing the unit:
࣭At the time of installation, avoid such a place as is damp or
dusty, or is exposed to greasy fumes or steam.
An electric shock will occur. Please avoid putting it near a

NOTE
: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A 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
commercial 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
communication. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

About Care
Before care, for safety, turn off the power switch, and remove the
power plug. An electric shock will occur.
We recommend the “periodic checkup” so that the lasting and stable
performance may be retained. For information about the periodic
checkup, please consult our sales representative.
Since there are high-voltage parts in the inside, those who have the
knowledge about such products should conduct checkups,
maintenance, and repairs.An electric shock will occur.
When before and after each use, dirt can be seen, wipe the dirt/dust
off the camera using a dry, soft cloth

3.2. Electrical Connection
1. Before turning on the power, confirm that the external devices (camera head,
monitor, etc.) are correctly connected.
2. Turn on power supply to the monitor and other external equipment.
3. Turn on power supply (main power switch) of CCU back.
ƔThe supplied power cable should always be connected to the AC inlet on the CCU back.
ƔWhen it is powered up, the power button on the front will light up in green.
ƔIt can be powered off by pressing the power button or turning OFF the main power switch
with the power button lit.
ƔImmediately after power-up, the CCU and the camera head will be initialized automatically.
During this time, a monitor screen is unstable; however, this is not a failure.
4. The video image from the camera is output under the same setting condition with
the last use.
ƔWhen power is turned off in the state of still screen picture, that state will not be held even
if power is turned on again, and MKC-230HD is set to the normal shooting state.
* When moving the CCU, be sure to turn off the POWER, disconnect the power plug and
remove the connecting cable between equipment beforehand.
* If the cable comes loose during use, repeat the steps described above.
CAUTION:
Caution for Camera cable connection and disconnection
Turn off the power of MKC-230HD when you connect or
disconnect the camera cable. If the CCU is turned on, it may
cause the fault of MKC-230HD.
NOTE: Phenomenon on video image
