Operating Precautions - JVC TK-C205VP Instructions Manual

Operating Precautions

To save energy, turn the power off when
not in use.
This camera has been designed to be
hung from the ceiling. It may malfunction
if it is placed on a surface or if it is tilted.
Do not install or use the camera in the
following places.
• In a place exposed to heavy rain.
• In a place with vapor or oil soot, for
example in a kitchen.
• In a temperature outside the operating
temperature range (–10°C to 50°C).
• Near a source of radiation, X-rays,
strong radio waves or magnetism.
• In a place where corrosive gasses are
generated.
• In a place subject to vibration.
If this camera and the cables connected
to this camera are used where there are
strong electromagnetic waves or where
there is magnetism present, for example
near a radio or TV transmitter, power
transformer or an electric motor, the
picture may produce noise and the
colours may be affected.
This camera incorporates an AGC circuit.
As a result, when it is used under low light
conditions, the camera sensitivity is
automatically boosted and the picture may
look uneven. This is not a malfunction
however.
When this camera is used in the ATW
mode, the recorded colours may be
slightly different from the actual colours
due to the operational principles of the
auto-tracking white balance circuit. This
is however not a malfunction.
If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp)
is shot, the image on the screen may have
vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming)
at its periphery. This is a characteristic of
the CCD, and is not a defect.
Observe the following when carrying out
camera maintenance.
• Turn the power OFF before proceeding
to carry out maintenance.
• Clean the dome cover and the lens using
a lens wiper cloth (or a tissue).
If it is contaminated seriously, clean the
contaminated part with a cloth (or a
tissue) which has been soaked in a
solution of water and a neutral detergent.
Do not install the unit in an environment
where there is cold air or near the air outlet
of an air conditioner. The dome cover will
cloud as a result.
When the camera from a cold area to
room temperature, condensation may
occur causing the camera to malfunction
as a result.
In this case, turn on the power after
waiting for a few hours.
When the temperature becomes cold,
water droplets may appear on the interior
of the dome camera. To prevent this, use
the accompanying silica gel.
If the D/N switch is turned on, the mode
changes automatically to black and white
in dark places. As the sensitivity
increases, the image may look grainy and
white spots may appear. When changing
modes, bright portions of image may be
emphasized but this is not a failure of the
camera.
