1 Safety precautions
1.1 Caution
1.2 Description of symbols
Danger: This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a person.
Warning: This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
1.2.1 CE compliance
This appliance complies with the CE guidelines.
If you require an EC Declaration of Conformity for this device, please send a request to:
[e-mail]
Attention:
Any changes or modifications to this appliance, which have not been explicitly approved of by the
respective regulatory authority, may lead to a prohibition of usage of this appliance.
1.2.2 Important: Legal note
Monitoring, recording and storage of video surveillance data (images, sound), is
subject to strict legal regulations. Please respect the Data PrivacyAct which applies
to your country.

iv
1.3 Safety instructions
Before operating the appliance, please read this manual carefully and retain it for further
reference.
Before cleaning the appliance, it has to be switched off and unplugged from the power outlet.
Wipe the appliance with a soft damp cloth.
Do not use harsh cleansers or aerosols for cleaning. The type label may not be replaced.
Do not use attachments unless recommended by the manufacturer as they may affect the
functionality of the appliance and result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
Never install the appliance in areas exposed to water or other liquids.
The appliance has to be installed in a safe and stable location according to the instructions of
the manufacturer. Care should be used when moving heavy equipment. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance to fall causing serious injury to persons
and damage to objects.
Openings in the appliance, if any, are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
appliance and to protect if from overheating. These openings must not be covered or blocked.
Please make sure that the appliance does not overheat.
The appliance should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied at the installation location, please contact
your local dealer.
An appliance which is powered through a polarized plug (a plug with one blade wider than the
other) will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
If the appliance is powered through a grounding-type plug, the plug will only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not have the grounding plug
receptacle, contact your local electrician.

v
Route power cords and cables in a manner to protect them from damage by being walked on or
pinched by items places upon or against them.
For protection of the appliance during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused
for a longer period, unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Disconnect any antennas or cable
systems that may be connected to the appliance. This will prevent damage to the appliance due
to lightning or power-line surges.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
Never insert items into the openings of the appliance. They may touch parts under electric
current which may cause an electric shock.
Never pour any liquids over the appliance.
In case of any operating interruption or a complete operating failure please switch off the
appliance and disconnect it from the wall outlet. Never attempt to service or repair the
appliance yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician uses replacements
parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to verify that the appliance is in proper operating condition.
The appliance should only be installed by qualified service personnel and has to comply with
local specifications and regulations.
Never point the camera at an object with a high degree of luminance. Bright vertical or
horizontal lines can result in a distortion (outshine) of the entire image on the monitor. This
artifact is not an error but a particularity of semiconductor CCDs when they are directly exposed
to a powerful light source.
If the camera is operated in locations with extremely differing light conditions, the aperture has
to be adapted.

vi
Please respect the local legal regulations on waste if you need to dispose of discarded
appliances.
This symbol means that electrical appliances need to be disposed of properly and not
simply with unsorted household refuse. Please respect local regulations on waste
disposal.
