IMPORTANT SA<+%UARDS

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand, tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fail, causing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a stand, tripod, bracket, or mount recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the unit should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

1. Ventilation - Openings in the enclosure, if any, are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. This unit

should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

1. Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply you plan to use, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

2. Grounding or Polarization - This unit may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. Alternatively, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

3. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

4. Power Lines - An outdoor system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such

power lines or circuits. When installing an outdoor system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the National Electrical Code Article 820 regarding installation of CATV systems.

1. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in a fire or electric shock.

2. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this unit through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

3. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

4. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit.

c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.

e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance--this indicates a need for service.

1. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

2. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

3. Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only--Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1981, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

4. Lightning - For added protection of this unit during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

1.4. Lightning and Surge Proofing

This product uses TVS Lightning Proof technology which can prevent damage to the equipment caused by lightning strickes below 1500W and impulse signals such as surge; but it is also necessary to abide by the above stated precautions to ensure electrical safety.

1.5. Water Proofing

Outdoor domes are IP66 rated which indicates they are dustproof, waterproof, and moisture proof. Do not install an indoor dome in an outdoor environment. Protect the unit from damaged caused by long term water wear. Utilize thread sealant tape and RTV sealant on outdoor units.

2. Installation

Note: Disregard references to RTV sealant and thread sealant tape for indoor installations.

2.1. Before You Start

If any parts are missing contact the shipper. - Handle the pan/tilt module carefully. The camera module is designed to snap into the dome with very little effort. Do not bend and components or attempt to force the unit into place. Do not handle the dome bubble with your hands. - Make sure the installation site is sufficient in terms of structural integrity and/or available space before commencing the installation. Maintain a safety coefficient of at least 4 when installing this product. - The unit is shipped in the safest possible packaging. Keep it for possible future use. If the unit needs to be returned, replace it properly in its packaging and contact your supplier for return authorization and shipping instructions. - When using a wall mount, pendant mount, or corner mount, ensure that the mounting accessory can support at least 4 times the weight of the unit.
