I Handle the camera with care.
Do not misuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc.
The camera could be damaged by improper handling
or storage.
I Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture, nor
try to operate it in wet areas.
This product is designed for indoor use or locations
where it is protected from rain and moisture.
Turn the power off immediately and ask qualified serv-

Moisture can damage the camera and also create the
danger of electric shock.
I Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the camera body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it is dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent
and wipe gently. Care should be taken not to scratch
the dome cover when wiping it.
Afterwards, wipe off the remaining detergent with a dry
cloth.
I Never aim the camera at the sun.
Whether or not the camera is in use , never aim it at the
sun or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,
blooming or smear may be caused.
I Do not point the camera at a strong light source.
Intense light such as that produced by a spotlight con-
centrated on one part of the screen can cause bloom-
ing (rainbow around the strong light) or smearing (verti-
cal stripes above and below the strong light).
I Do not install this camera upside down.
This camera is designed for mounting on the ceiling or
wall. Using this camera installed upside down, for
