PCS-1/PCS-1P
The microphone built in the PCS-C1/C1P Camera Unit is
assumed to be used to conduct a conference among about
three participants. You can connect the optional PCS-A1 or
PCS-A300 microphone to the System, allowing more
persons to participate in the conference.

Notes on installation of the microphones
.Install microphone about 50 cm away from the
participants.
.Install the speakers behind the microphones.
.Place the microphone in a quiet, echo-free location.
.Install microphones away from equipment that may
cause noise.
.Avoid covering a microphone with paper, etc., or
moving it. If you do either, extreme noise and echo may
be heard temporarily by the remote party. In this case,
wait until the echo disappears.

Installation of document stand
a. Adjust the direction of an infrared light emitter.
Install so that the infrared light emitter of the document stand is linear in direction with the infrared
photosensor of PCS-1/1P when the video signal input to a document stand is transmitted to PCS-1/1P
using an infrared video transmission function. The range in which infrared rays reach is a maximum
of about 5 m.
Connect it with PCS-1/1P using a MONITOR OUT terminal when the infrared light emitter is used in
excess of about 5 m.

b. Installation range (Reference)
If an image is disturbed in the range shown below, bring it near PCS-1/1P with the infrared light
emitter of a documents stand turned toward PCS-1/1P.
m
.Install so that the infrared light emitter of a document stand is linear in direction with the infrared
photosensor of PCS-1/1P. Do not put an object that interrupts transmission. When the direction of the
infrared light emitter is shifted by five degrees or more, normal reception cannot be carried out, that is,
an image is disturbed or stands still.
.Multiple document stands cannot be used at the same time. Infrared rays interfere and any signal
cannot be received.
.The resolution of an image deteriorates when a video signal is transmitted using an infrared video
transmission function. Connect the infrared light emitter with PCS-1/1P using a MONITOR OUT
terminal when you do not want to deteriorate the resolution.
.Connect the infrared light emitter with PCS-1/1P using a MONITOR OUT terminal when an infrared
video transmission function cannot be used due to the situation of a videoconferencing room.
.An image may be disturbed when other infrared light emitters are used or when a remote controller is
used near the photosensor. Stop the use of other infrared light emitters or connect them with PCS-1/1P
using a MONITOR OUT terminal.

1-6 PCS-1/PCS-1P
1-1-2. Operating Environment
Layout Considerations
.Avoid having large, moving objects, especially people,
behind the participants, as the quality of the picture
transmitted to the remote party will deteriorate.
.Do not seat participants in front of a wall with fine stripe
patterns.
.Choose a room where echo will not occur.
.Do not install the system near noise sources such as air
conditioners or copy machines.
.Avoid placing the system in a room where there are the
speakers used for an in-house broadcasting system.
Lighting Considerations
Do not point the camera toward a window where sunlight
comes in as back lighting may decrease the contrast. If it is
necessary, cover the window with a thick curtain.
Adjust room lighting so that it falls on the participants.
Avoid direct light on the TV monitor. Light intensity on
faces should be about 300 lux or more.
If an inverter type or brightness-adjustable type of
fluorescent lamp is used, the sensitivity of the Remote
Commander may deteriorate.

When the Remote Commander does not function properly,
replace both the batteries with new ones.
Notes on batteries
.To avoid damage from possible battery leakage or
corrosion, observe the following:
.Make sure to insert the batteries with the polarities in the
correct direction.
.Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of
batteries.
.Do not attempt to charge the batteries.
.If you do not intend to use the Remote Commander for a
long period of time, remove the batteries.
.If battery leakage occurs, clean the battery compartment
and replace all the batteries with new ones.

.After the power is turned on, the camera moves
automatically for trial operation. Be careful not to catch
your finger.
.If you use force to prevent the camera moving, it may
not resume moving and not output a signal to the
Communication Terminal. In this case, turn off the
Terminal, and turn it on again.
.When you turn on the power of the Communication
Terminal for the first time after installation, the setup
wizard will appear after the self-diagnosis is completed.
Set up your system following the wizard.
.For setups using the wizard, see “Setting Up the System
for the First Time - Initial Setup Wizard”on page 1-14.
Standby Mode Function
To save power the Communication Terminal will enter
standby mode if you do not operate it for a specified period
of time.
When the Communication Terminal is in standby mode,
the POWER indicator lights in orange. Once the
Communication Terminal receives a call, the standby
mode is automatically released.
To release the standby mode
Press the I/O button on the Remote Commander.
To specify the standby time
Specify the time that you want the system to remain on
before entering into standby mode (1 to 99 minutes) using
“Standby Time”in the General Setup menu. If you do not
want the system to enter the standby mode, set “Standby
Mode”in the General Setup menu to “Off”.
For the “Standby Time”and “Standby Mode”settings, see
“General Setup Menu”on page 1-17.
