To keep on using with stable performance
Do not use this product in hot and humid conditions
for a long time. Failure to observe this causes
component degradation resulting in life shortening
of this product. Do not expose this product to direct
heat sources such as a heater.
Make sure that the product does not become
wet.
Keep this camera away from water and moisture.
Usage such as switching the power ON/OFF
frequently could lead to failure of the camera.
Handle this product with care.
Do not drop this product, nor apply shock or
vibration to the product. Failure to observe this
may cause trouble.
Do not directly touch the lens.
A dirty lens causes deterioration of picture quality.
When an error is detected, this product will
restart automatically.
This product will be inoperable for around 2
minutes after the restart just as when the power is
turned on.
About the automatic status detection
function
When this product malfunctions due to
exogenous noise, etc. for 30 seconds or more,
the product will automatically reset and will return
to normal state. When the product is reset,
initialization will be carried out as when the power
of the product is turned on. When the product
repeatedly resets, exogenous noise level around
the product may be high and that may cause
malfunction. Contact your dealer for instructions.
Periodically images on the screen appear to
be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location where
it is subject to small vibrations (for example, when
it is installed near devices that vibrate), images
may appear distorted and stretched lengthways.
This phenomenon is a characteristic of image
pickup devices that use CMOS sensors and is
caused by the relationship between the periodic
movements of the camera and the timing that the
image sensor reads images. This is not a problem
with the camera. To reduce the possibility of this
phenomenon occurring, install the camera in a
secure location.
We shall not be liable for content
compensation, losses of recorded or
edited content and any direct or indirect
consequent damages caused by failure to
record or edit due to faults with this unit or
the SD memory card. In addition, the same
provisions apply after unit is reparied.
About the CMOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright
light source such as a spotlight, the color
filter of the CMOS image sensor may
become deteriorated and this may cause
discoloration. Even when changing the
fixed shooting direction after continuously
shooting a spotlight for a certain period, the
discoloration may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or
objects crossing the shooting area may look
to be bending askew.
Cleaning this product body

Failure to observe this may cause injury.
Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol, or any other
types of solvents or detergents. Otherwise, it may
cause discoloration. When using a chemical cloth
for cleaning, read the caution provided with the
chemical cloth product.
• Do not loozen or remove screws unless
