9. CAUTIONS ON USE AND INSTALLATION
Carefully handle the units.
Do not drop, or give a strong shock or vi-
bration to the camera. This may cause
problems. Treat the camera cables care-
fully to prevent cable problems, such as
cable breakdown and loosened connec-
tions.
Do not shoot intense light.
If there is an intense light at a location on
the screen such as a spot light, a bloom-
ing and smearing may occur. When in-
tense light enters, vertical stripes may
appear on the screen. This is not a mal-
function. Ghosts may occur when there
is an intense light near the object. In this
case, change the shooting angle.
Install the camera in a location free
from noise.
If the camera or the cables are located
near power utility lines or a TV, etc. unde-
sirable noise may appear on the screen.
In such a case, try to change the location
of the camera or the cable wiring.
Moire
When thin stripe patterns are shot, stripe
patterns that are not actually there (moire)
may appears as interference stripes. This
is not a malfunction.
Operating ambient temperature and
humidity.
Do not use the camera in places where
temperature and humidity exceed the
specifications. Picture quality will lower
and internal parts may be damaged.
Be particularly careful when using in
places exposed to direct sunlight. When
shooting in hot places, depending on the
conditions of the object and the camera
(for example when the gain is increased),
noise in the form of vertical strips or white
dots may occur. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
Handling of the protection cap.
Keep the protection cap away from chil-
dren. Children may put them into mouth
or swallow them accidentally. The protec-
tion cap protects the image sensing plane
when the lens is removed from the cam-
era, do not throw away.
When not using the camera for a long-
time.
Stop supplying power.
When cleaning the camera
Always turn off the power and clean with
a piece of soft dry cloth. Do not use ben-
zine, alcohol, thinner, household deter-
gents, chemically treated cloths, etc. If
used, coating and printed letters may be
discolored. When cleaning the lens, use
a lens cleaning paper, etc.
Avoid using or storing the camera in the
following places:
Places filled with highly flammable gas.
Places near gasoline, benzene, or paint
thinner.
Places subject to strong vibration.
Places contacting chemicals (such as pes-
ticides), rubber or vinyl products for a long
period of time.
