shock may be caused. Check that no smoke is
produced, and then contact the dealer or sales
representative.
If water or foreign matter enters the unit, turn
off the power switch and pull out the power
plug!
If the unit is used as it is, a fire or electric
shock may be caused. Check that no smoke is
produced, and then contact the dealer or sales
representative.

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
cooking table or a humidifier.
・
Prevent it from toppling by a sudden earthquake, shock, etc.
If this machine topples, injury may occur; for safety, therefore, you
should take the measures against toppling.
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 Camera Cable
Note the following
.
・While removing the camera cable from the camera head
or the CCU, hold the connector (plug), without pulling the
cable by any means.
・Do not crush the cable.
・While the power is on, do not plug or unplug the camera
cable.
・Since the allowable bending radius of the camera cable is
about 10 times the outside diameter of the cable (for φ7.5
mm cable, about 75 mm), do not forcibly bend it any more.
If it is bent forcibly, wires inside the cable may break.
・When anchoring the camera head to a turntable etc.,
clamp the camera cable so that the cable may not be
strained even when moved. Take care not to form a kink
(a twist or an undulation). If the kinky one is used, wires
inside the cable may break.
・Before use, make sure that the cable and bundled wires
are not damaged or deteriorated.
About Engagement of Conversion Lens or ND Filter
Note the following
.
• When using a conversion lens or an ND filter at the front of
the lens, thrust that firmly in and engage with this.
・ Before use, check that they are fully engaged with each other.
If the engagement is not complete, it may drop during use.
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
A serviceman exchanges it is possible parts:AC cable.
When exchanging an AC cable of an accessory.
About Disposal
This product should be disposed of in accordance with the
municipal ordinance or regulation
.
For details, please contact the local government。

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range apply.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation Is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
*a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones
and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be
predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength In the
location in which the MODEL MKC-310HD Is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the MODEL MKC-310HD should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the MODEL MKC-
310HD.
*
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
・MKC310HD needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided in the accompanying documents.
・Since there is a risk of inaccurate operation, avoid using MKC310HD adjacent or stacked with other
equipment.
If the MKC310HD should be usd adjacent to or stacked with other equipment､it should be observed
to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
・Please use all shielded cables except for AC cables.
・The use of an accessory or cable with the MKC310HD other than those specified in this manual
may result in increase emissions or decreased immunity of the MKC310HD.
・When using portable RF communication equipment in the vicinity, do not bring it closer than 30 cm.
If it is brought close to it, there is a risk of degrading the performance of the equipment.

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 (POWER switch) of CCU.
●Connect the accessory AC adapter to the power connector on the back of the CCU.
●Even if the power connector on the back of the CCU is connected, the power is turned on automatically.
●When the power goes on, the power button lights green.
●If the Power button light is on and the Power button is pressed, it is possible to turn off the power.
●Immediately after turning on the power, the initialization operation of the CCU and camera head is
carried out automatically. During this time, an unstable display is displayed on the monitor screen.
This does not indicate a technical problem.
4. The video image from the camera is output under the same setting condition with the last use.
● 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-310HD is set to the normal shooting state.
* When moving the CCU, be sure to turn off the POWER, disconnect the power plug and remove t
he 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
NOTE: Phenomenon on video image
Turn off the power of MKC-310HD when you connect or disconnect the camera cable.
If the CCU is turned on, it may cause the fault of MKC-310HD.
MKC-310HD may happen following phenomenon on its video image. It is not failure but
it is because of employing CMOS sensor.
When its sensitivity gain is going up, it may appear high lighting dots. In case under high
temperature condition, it may be remarkable.
It may appear horizontal stripe pattern or flicker on a video image under the fluorescent
lighting. In this case, please use manual electrical shutter of 1/100
(50Hz area). It will be reduce, but please note that it will not disappear at all.
