Setting Up Your A-520 Camera; Safety And Installation Tips; Device Operating Range - First Alert A-520 User Manual

S I
AFETY AND NSTALLATION
Do not attempt to open the camera. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer

servicing to qualified service personnel.
When installing the camera, follow manufacturer's advice when using power tools,

steps, ladders, etc. and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g., safety goggles)
when drilling holes. Before drilling holes through a ceiling, check for hidden
electricity cables and water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe detector is advisable.
When installing the camera on an external wall, pass the power cable through the

wall as close as possible to the camera to reduce the chance of tampering with the
cables. After drilling any hole though an external wall for cable, make sure the hole
is sealed up around the cable using a sealant.
D O
EVICE PERATING
The wireless camera is capable of transmitting up to 330 ft in open field conditions. However,
when installed around your property, any solid objects (e.g., walls, ceiling, reinforced PVC
doors, etc.) placed between the camera and receiver will reduce the range. For best
transmission, avoid installations where there are very thick walls or major obstructions
between the wireless camera and receiver. Avoid installing the camera or receiver next to a
metal radiator, wireless router, or microwave oven.
If the camera is used with a digital video recorder (DVR) to record or view video on a TV,
ensure the signal reception is the best possible reception (i.e., no interference lines on the
TV). If necessary, reduce the distance between the camera and receiver. You may find that if
the wireless camera is installed outside, the maximum operating range without interference
may be less than 50 ft.
