Limiters Be absolutely sure to set the limiters (travel range) of the pan/tilt head before use. Depending on where the pan/tilt head system has been installed, obstacles may be present within the travel range with which the camera may come into contact. Contact with any such obstacle by the camera may cause malfunctioning or accidents.
Limiters $ Setting/releasing the limiters O For the controller AW-RP301/AW-RP305/AW-RP501/AW-RP505 1. To set the upper limit position of the travel range: Using the controller, tilt the camera to the position which is to serve as the upper limit. While holding down the MEMORY button on the controller, press PRESET button 2 and PRESET button 3 simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.

Replacement of consumable parts $ Replacing the battery The battery lasts for about 5 years. The pan/tilt head stores the preset positions, limiter positions and other data in its memory. Although this data is retained even after the power has been turned off, it will be lost when the power is turned off once the battery has reached the end of its service life.
