Precautions for Safe Use
- Make sure that the external device's Ethernet connector shell to which the camera cable (LAN) FJ-
VSG (optional) is connected should be connected to the FG terminal of the external device. [2]
- To connect the camera to an external device such as a laptop computer that does not have an FG
terminal, do not connect the camera cable (LAN) directly to the device. Use an Ethernet hub for
which the outer shell of its connector is connected to the FG terminal in between the device and the
camera.
- Be sure to ground the FG terminal of any external device to which the camera is connected. [3]
• Perform grounding so that the FG of the camera and that of the external device should be at the
same potential. A potential difference may occur between the camera and the external device de-
pending on the grounding method, and current may flow along the dotted path as shown below, re-
sulting in a potential malfunction.

Others

• Use only the dedicated camera cable. If the device is turned on with the non-dedicated product con-
nected, the device may be damaged, causing high temperature.
