4 Preface PREFACE REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS This section provides the FCC compliance statement for Class A devices and describes how to keep the system CE compliant. DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY FCC This equipment has been tested and verified to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area (domestic environment) is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference (take adequate measures) at their own expense. CE The product(s) described in this manual complies with all applicable European Union (CE) directives if it has a CE marking. For computer systems to remain CE compliant, only CE-compliant parts may be used. Maintaining CE compliance also requires proper cable and cabling techniques. SAFETY INFORMATION Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions: Read all instructions carefully. Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual. Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand. Do not use the camera in extreme temperature conditions. Please use the camera within -20ºC to 50ºC. Air vent is required at high temperature. Do not use or store the camera in humid environment. It may cause poor image quality. Do not use the camera in unstable lighting conditions. Inconsistent lighting or flickering may cause poor image. Never use the camera close to gas or oil leak. It may not operate properly. Do not disassemble the camera. There is no user serviceable part inside. Do not drop the camera or apply force on it. It may cause a malfunction. Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device. Never face the camera to strong light for long periods of time. It may damage the CMOS sensor. External power supply cannot be used with PoE simultaneously or it will damage the camera. When this camera is installed near wireless communication devices that emit strong electromagnetic field, irregularity such as noise may appear in the image. IV

5 Preface INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS CONVENTIONS USED IN THIS MANUAL Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following: A Philips screwdriver A flat-tipped screwdriver A grounding strap An anti-static pad Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors. CAUTION! A U O Warning: Information about certain situations, which if not observed, can cause personal injury. This will prevent injury to yourself when performing a task. Caution: Information to avoid damaging components or losing data. Note: Provides additional information to complete a task easily. V
