law.
About backup
The memories of the settings such as the clock,
camera's position and MD function are erased when
the POWER switch on the main unit is set to OFF.
To retain those memories, set the BACK UP
switch, at the rear of the camera head, to ON.
Notes
• In this unit, the built-in lithium battery acts as the power
source for retaining the memories and is kept charged as
long as the unit is used. If the unit is used for shorter
period of time with the BACKUP switch set to ON,
however, the battery is gradually discharged. Besides, if
you do not use the unit at all for almost 12 weeks, the
battery is completely discharged. To retain the
memories of the settings, you should recharge the
battery.
• To recharge the battery, plug in the unit to an AC outlet
with the AC power adaptor and leave it for
approximately 48 hours with the POWER switch on the
main unit set to ON.
Precautions
• The name plate indication operating voltage,
power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom
exterior.
• After operating the unit with an AC power
adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptpr from
the wall outlet if the set is not to be used for an
extended period of time. The POWER switch on
the rear of the main unit, does not turn the AC
adaptor off.
Brightness of a subject
Color Video Camera might not work with its best
performance in a place where brightness exceeds
the illumination range (such as a place exposed to
direct sunlight).
Avoid specialized
application
Avoid using Color Video Camera for monitoring
application where it would be forced to focus on a
stationary object for a long period of time. Also
avoid focusing the camera on an extremely bright
object such as sunlight or a fluorescent lamp.
