may cause such devices to

malfunction, resulting in an accident.

Preventing electric shock

RIf the wiring is underground, do not

make any connections underground.

RIf the wiring is underground, use a

protection tube.

RIf the wiring is outdoors, use a

protection tube or a surge protector.

Preventing injury

RInstall the product securely adhering

to the instructions in this guide to

prevent it from falling off the wall.

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.

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/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 1.88 GHz and 1.90 GHz with a peak transmission

power of 250 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.
