Operating precautions
■
When transporting this product
Do not apply excessive vibrations or impacts during transport.
Doing so may damage the internal parts, resulting in a malfunction.
■
To ensure a stable performance in the long term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its
parts to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C (95 °F))
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air directly toward the installation location.
■
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or hot locations where the
temperature rises above 40 °C (104 °F) since these temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely
affect the internal parts.
■
When storing the unit
Store indoors in a dry location.
■
When the unit is not in use
Turn off the unit's power when it is not in use.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it
properly.
■
Do not touch the optical system parts.
Under no circumstances must they be touched.
In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove the dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them
gently with a lens cleaning paper.
■
Do not point the camera at strong lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are exposed to spotlights or other strong lights,
blooming (a phenomenon where the edges of strong lights become blurred)
may occur.
■
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take
some other remedial action.
■
Note regarding image distortion
Edges of the image will be distorted due to the characteristics of the lens.
■
Do not point the camera directly at the sun or a laser beam no matter whether it is turned on
or not.
Taking images of the sun, laser beams, or other brightly lit subjects for prolonged periods of time may damage the
CCD.
■
Keep the unit away from water.
Do not splash water onto the product. Otherwise, problems may occur.
■
Do not swing the main unit around.
■
It is not recommended to install upside down.
