Prior to turning on the power switch , check that the polarities of the power cable are
correct , referring to the connection diagram (Page 8 , 9)
To protect CCD (sensor)
z
Do not touch the glass surface of the CCD sensor to avoid deterioration in picture
quality due to dirt and scratches.
z
If the glass surface of the sensor should become dusty or dirty , remove dust or dirt
carefully with a cotton-tipped applicator. Do not wipe the surface with dry cloth or
paper tissue to avoid possible damage to the glass surface by static electricity.
Protection of camera
z
Do not use or store the camera under direct sunlight , at a place exposed to rain or
snow , or at a place where flammable or corrosive gas is present.

When housing the camera in a camera case , use the utmost care regarding rise of
internal temperature.
When casing the camera , the temperature normally rises by 10 to 20
, compared
with the outside air temperature. The camera operates in the temperature range from
-5 to 45
. If the camera is used or left in high temperature environment for hours ,
the life of the camera may be shortened.

Mutual interference noise can occur if multiple cameras are arranged in close proximity.
Separate the cameras to the extent possible.
When camera units are installed directly into other equipment , external noise can
prevent a normal picture. In such cases , shield the camera units.
The camera can be damaged by static electricity. Use ample care when installing
and arranging.
Auto electric shutter

In regions using 50 Hz power line frequency , flicker can appear on the monitor screen
from light sources such as fluorescent or mercury. In such cases , release the auto
