General Precautions
• Install low-voltage lines at least 30cm (11") away from high-voltage lines (AC100V, 200V), especially inverter air conditioner
wiring. Failure to do so may result in interference or malfunction.
• When installing or using the device, give consideration to the privacy rights of subjects, as it is the responsibility of the system
owner to post signs or warnings in accordance with local ordinances.
Notice
• If the device is used in areas where there are business-use wireless devices such as a transceiver or mobile phones, it may
cause malfunction.
• If the device is installed close to a light dimmer, an inverter electrical appliance or the remote control unit of a hot-water system
or floor-heating system, it may create interference and cause a malfunction.
• If the device is installed in an area with an extremely strong electrical field, such as in the vicinity of a broadcasting station, it
may create interference and cause a malfunction.
• If warm air from inside the room enters the unit, the internal and external temperature difference may cause condensation on
the camera. Plugging of cable holes and other gaps where warm air might enter is recommended for preventing condensation.
