Installation and 
Preparations
2-1 Mounting the 
Interface Box
The supplied interface box can be attached to the top or 
rear of the camera head.
Connection between the camera head and the interface box 
is achieved by mounting, eliminating additional cable 
connections.
 The same attaching/detaching system is used both on the 
top and the rear.
 The following instructions use the illustrations of 
attaching the interface box to the rear as examples.
 Although the illustrations show the statuses where the L 
handle has been detached, the interface box can be 
mounted/unmounted with the L handle attached.
To attach
1Place the camera head on a stable, flat surface.
2Rotate the accessory clamp lever upward (toward the 
lens when attaching to the top).
3Release the lock by sliding the lock-release knob in the 
direction of the arrow (1 in the figure below) then pull 
up the accessory mount lever (pull it toward the lens 
when mounting on the top) (2 in the figure below).
4Aligning the matching line on the interface box with 
that on the camera head, fit the interface box into the 
camera head then push down on the box (slide it in the 
opposite direction of the lens when attaching to the 
top) so that the connectors engage.
