• FCC CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
• 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 pro-
tection 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 communi-
cations. 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.
• The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heat-
ing tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings
have not been confirmed by additional research. [WV-BWC4000] has been tested and found to
comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the
FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.
• This product has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the com-

Security alert when using Wireless LAN products
Wireless LAN provides with an advantage of freely connecting to the network as long as you are in
the reach of radio waves.
On the other hand, the radio wave reaches everywhere in the range regardless of obstacles such
as walls. Therefore, if security measure is not taken, the following problems may occur:
Communication content may be compromised
A malicious third party may attempt to intercept the radio wave and steal your ID, password, trans-
mitting images, etc.
Breaking into a system
A malicious third party may access your network without authorization and attempt the following:
• Stealing personal and confidential information (Information leakage)
• Impersonating a specific user, communicating and spreading false information (Impersonation)
• Re-writing the intercepted communication content (Falsification)
• Sending computer viruses to corrupt data or the system (Corruption)
In general, Wireless LAN is equipped with the security-related functions to avoid the above threats.

About the battery
This product consists of a camera section and
Battery Pack section. Do not leave the battery
in environments where it may be exposed to
excessive heat from sunlight or fire, such as on
the dashboard of a vehicle.
The capacity of the battery is reduced each
time it is used. In particular, recharging or using
the battery in high-temperature locations
increases deterioration.
Observe the following precautions when
replacing the battery.
• Be sure to use the dedicated Battery Pack
(WV-BWC40B1/WV-BWC40B1E).
• Check that the camera surfaces are not
wet before removing the battery.
• The internal terminals are visible when the
battery is removed. Take care not to get
them wet.
• If the internal terminals appear dirty when
the battery is removed, wipe them clean
with a dry cloth.
• Take care not to drop the Battery Pack.
• When installing the battery, take care that
foreign objects are not trapped in the ter-
minals.
• When installing the battery, check that the
left and right battery hooks are fixed prop-
erly.
Do not touch the lens with your bare
hands.
A dirty lens causes deterioration of picture
quality. In case of adhesion any dirt or other
unwanted substances, please wipe it with a
lens cleaning paper.
When an error is detected, this product
will restart automatically.
This product will be inoperable for around 40
second after the restart just as when the power
is turned on.
Do not touch the bottom terminal of the
BWC.
Failure to observe this may cause poor con-
tact.
Periodically images on the screen appear
to be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location
where it is subject to small vibrations (for exam-
ple, when it is installed near devices that
vibrate), images may appear distorted and
stretched lengthways.
This phenomenon is a characteristic of image
pickup devices that use MOS sensors and is
caused by the relationship between the peri-
odic movements of the camera and the timing
that the image sensor reads images. This is not
a problem with the camera.
About internal memory card
The internal memory card is consumables:
Replace it in accordance with their operating
lifetimes. It's operating lifetimes vary depending
on the usage environment and conditions.
Make sure to contact a service engineer when
replacing the internal memory card.
