Ask qualified service personnel for servicing.
2. Handle the camera with care.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking,
shaking, etc. The camera could be damaged
by improper handling or storage.
3. Do not expose the camera to rain or
moisture, or try to operate it in wet areas.
Turn the power off immediately and ask quali-
fied service personnel for servicing. Moisture
can damage the camera and also create the
danger of electric shock.
4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents
when cleaning the camera body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when
dirty.
In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
detergent and wipe gently. Afterwards, wipe
off the remained part of the detergent in it
with a dry cloth.5. Clean the lens faceplate with care.
Do not clean the lens with strong or abrasive
detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped
applicator and ethanol.
6. Never face the camera towards the sun.
Do not aim the camera at bright objects.
Whether the camera is in use or not, never
aim it at the sun or other extremely bright
objects. Otherwise, blooming or smear may
be caused.
7. Do not operate the camera beyond the
specified temperature, humidity or power
source ratings.
Use the camera under conditions where tem-
perature is between –10 °C to +50 °C (14 °F to
122 °F), and humidity is below 90 %. The
input power source is 12 V DC, 240 mA.
8. It is recommended to use a monitor whose
resolution is at least equal to that of the
camera.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment gen-
erates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compli-
ance, (example - use only shielded interface
cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices). Any changes or modifica-
tions not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
userÕs authority to operate this equipment.For U.S.A 
						

							Power Cable
Connect the power cord to the 12 V DC input ter-
minal.
WARNING
The following connections should be made by
qualified service personnel or system
installers.
Video CableCable Preparation
Power cable (with sealing at the side of the
camera)
Cautions:
•Shrinking the cable-entry seal is a one-time
procedure. Do not shrink the cable-entry seal
until it has been ascertained that the unit is
functioning.
•To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use
a UL listed cable (WV-1, style 1007) for the
DC 12 V Input Terminal.
•Do not mistake “+” and “–” when connecting
the power cable to the DC 12 V input terminal
of the camera. It may cause trouble.

■How to mount the camera
1. Remove the panel screw with a phillips
screwdriver. (Refer to the illustration on the
right.)
2. Turn the panel cover counter-clockwise. 
3. Remove the panel cover. 
4. Remove the inner dome. 
5. Mount the camera on the junction box or ceil-
ing/wall. (Refer to Camera mounting posi-
tion.)
6. Connect the power cable and the video
cable to the camera. 
Note:The illustration on the right
assumes that you will use a junction
box. Pass the cables through the cabIe
access hole. If you mount the camera
directly on the wall/ceiling, cut out the
panel according to the concave.  (Refer
to the previous page.
•Connect them to 12 V DC (10.5 V to 16
V) class 2 power supply only. 
•To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for the Input
Terminal.
7. Adjust the panning, tilting and azimuth
while watching the LCD monitor. If the
image is slanting, move the azimuth
adjuster to obtain a leveled image.
Notes:
•You can check images by connect-
ing an LCD monitor to the video jack.
However, images are not available
on the monitor connected to the
video cable connector.
•The signal from the video jack can
cause smear on the LCD monitor
when a high-luminance area is dis-
played.
•When you adjust panning/tilting/
azimuth, avoid holding the lens unit.
