supply unit in the following places:
– Places where the main monitor and power
supply unit may be splashed with water or
chemicals.
– Places where there is a high concentration of
dust, or high humidity.
RDo not perform any actions (such as fabricating,
twisting, stretching, bundling, forcibly bending,
damaging, altering, exposing to heat sources, or
placing heavy objects on the power cable) that
may damage the power cable. Using the
product with a damaged power cable may
cause electric shock, short circuits, or fire.
Contact an authorised service centre for repairs.
RWhen existing chime wires are used, it is
possible that they contain AC voltage.
Contact an authorised service centre.
Preventing accidents and injuries

Precautions for installation
To avoid malfunction or communication disturbances, do not install the doorphone or the main monitor in
the following locations:
– Places where vibration or any other kind of impact occurs.
– Places where echoing is frequent.
– Places near a high concentration of dust, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, sulphur, or noxious fumes.
For the doorphone
RIf a strong light is shining on the doorphone, the visitor’s face may not be distinguishable. Do not place
the doorphone in the following locations:
– Where most of the background is the sky.
– Where the background is a white wall, and direct sunlight will reflect off it.
– Where direct sunlight will shine on the doorphone.
RDo not place the doorphone in locations where echoing occurs, as this will cause the doorphone to
beep frequently.
RDust protection/water protection is IP54.
Only when installation work specified in this guide is properly performed and appropriate water
protection treatment is performed.
RMake sure the rear of the doorphone is not subject to water.
RDepending on the installation location, condensation may form on the doorphone’s lens cover. This
may cause images to become obscured. Condensation will dissipate as the temperature rises.
For the main monitor
RInstall the main monitor away from electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, personal computers, air
conditioners, boiler control panels with intercom, home security equipment, wireless devices, or digital
cordless phones.
RDo not install the main monitor in places where it will be affected by extremely high-frequency radio
waves (near broadcasting antennas etc.). This may cause the display to flicker or an interrupting noise
to occur.
RLeave at least 20 cm of space above, below, and to the left and right sides of the main monitor. Do not
install on a wall that is deeply recessed.
RDo not install the main monitor inside a wall.
RBe sure to install the main monitor more than 5 m away from the doorphone.
RThe product operates in the frequency range of 2.412 GHz and 2.472 GHz with a peak transmission
power of 100 mW (max.). Refer to the "For best performance" section in the Operating Instructions.
RIn areas surrounded by a high electrical field, disturbances may occur in the main monitor’s image or
sound.
