Product Precautions
Handle the camera with care. Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking or shaking it. Improper handling or storage
could damage the camera.
Do not pull or damage the camera cable.
During camera use, do not wrap the unit in any material. This will cause the internal temperature of the unit to
increase.
Do not expose the camera to moisture, or do not try to operate it in wet areas.
Do not operate the camera beyond its temperature, humidity and power source ratings.
While the camera is not being used, keep the lens or lens cap on the camera to prevent dust or contamination from
getting in the CCD or filter area and scratching or damaging this area.
Do not keep the camera under the following conditions:
In wet, moist, and high humidity areas
Under hot direct sunlight
In high temperature areas
Near an object that releases a strong magnetic or electric field
Areas with strong vibrations
Apply the power that satisfies the requirements specified in this document to the camera.
Use a soft cloth to clean the camera. Use pressured air spray to clean the surface of the glass. DO not scratch the
surface of the glass.
The camera is a general-purpose electronic device; using the camera for the equipment that may threaten human
life or cause dangers to human bodies directly in case of failure or malfunction of the camera is not guaranteed. Use
the camera for special purposes at your own risk.
