work. Consult your dealer.
RDo not attempt to disassemble or
modify this product. Contact an
authorised service centre for repairs.
RNever install wiring during a lightning
storm.
RDo not connect non-specified devices.
RWhen opening holes in walls for
installation or wiring, or when securing
the power cable, make sure you do not
damage existing wiring and ductwork.
RDo not make any wiring connections
when the power supply is turned on.
RDo not install the main monitor/
extension monitor in the following
places:
– Places where the main monitor/
extension monitor 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

Precautions for installation
To avoid malfunction or communication disturbances, do not install the doorphone or the main monitor/
extension 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.
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/extension 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/extension 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/
extension monitor. Do not install on a wall that is deeply recessed.
RDo not install the main monitor/extension monitor inside a wall.
RBe sure to install the main monitor/extension monitor more than 5 m away from the doorphone.
RThe product operates in the frequency range of 2.4 GHz and 2.48 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/extension
monitor’s image or sound.
