SAFETY

Electricity
Before connecting to electrical outlet, verify the electrical specifications of the device are suitable for the
available power source.
We suggest to connect the device to electrical outlet via a switch disconnector.
In case of misfunctioning, disconnect electrical power from the general switch.
Use only the provided power supply.
Safety precautions
Do not expose the device to rain or humidity and do not insert any solid or liquid object in it to prevent the
risk of fire or electrocution. In these events disconnect the device from the electrical outlet and call
technical assistance to check it.
Do not open the device. Any repair must be made by qualified personnel or by calling the nearest
authorized technical assistance center.
Keep the device away from children to prevent any, even involuntary, damaging.
Do not touch the device with wet hands as it might cause electrical shock or mechanical damages.
If the device falls down while working or if the salesbox is damaged, do not continue using it. If usage is
continued under such circumstances electrical shocks might take place. Contact the authorized retailer or
installer.
Installation precautions
Do not install the camera in places with possible exposure to rain or humidity without the proper protective
case.
Do not point the camera directly to sunlight or other intense sources of light, even when turned off. The
subject of recording must not be against the light.
Do not point the camera against reflective objects.
Some light conditions (such as fluorescent color) can affect the recorded colors.
Use AUTO-IRIS lens when operating the camera in changing light environments.
Do not use this device on any unstable support such as lurching or sloping table to prevent the device
from falling and be damaged.
If water or any other material should penetrate the camera, stop using it as it might cause fire or electrical
shock and contact the authorized retailer or installer.
Do not cover the device with any cloth while using to prevent deformation of the external part and inner
components heating which might provoke fire, electrical shock or mechanical damages.
Do not put magnets or magnetized objects close to the device to prevent functional anomalies.
Do not use this device in presence of smoke, steam, humidity, dust or intense vibrations.
Do not use the device shortly after moving it from warm to cold environment and vice versa. After moving
the device wait three hours before using it: this time is necessary for the device to adapt to the new
environment (temperature, humidity, etc.).
Usage precautions

If dirt cannot be removed with a dry cloth, use a humid cloth and a neutral cleanser.
Do not use spray cleanser for device cleaning. Do not use volatile liquids such as gasoline, alcohol,
solvents etc. or chemical treated cloth to clean the device to prevent deformations, damages or scars on
the finishing paint.
Disconnect the device from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Memory (micro-SD Card)
Format the micro-SD card before using it for the first time.
Insert the card only in the indicated direction, any forcing could damage it.
The micro-SD card can be affected by temperature jump and vibrations. Ignoring these precautions could
affect the memory card functioning and might cause the loss of recorded data.
