Transportation

NNOOT

- When transporting the Axis product, use the original packaging or equivalent to prevent damage to the product.

Battery

The Axis product uses a 3.0 V BR1632 lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). Under normal conditions this battery will last for a minimum of five years.

Low battery power affects the operation of the RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up. When the battery voltage is low, a log message will appear in the product's server report.

CAUTION

Do not replace the battery yourself. Contact Axis support if the log message requests a battery change.

Lithium coin cell 3.0 V batteries contain 1,2-dimethoxyethane; ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (EGDME), CAS no. 110-71-4.

Dome or front glass

NNOOTT

• Be careful not to scratch, damage or leave fingerprints on the dome or front glass since this can decrease image quality. Keep the protective plastic on until the installation is complete.
• Don't clean a dome or front glass that looks clean to the eye, and never polish the surface. Excessive cleaning can damage the surface.
• Avoid cleaning the dome or front glass in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures, since this can cause stains.
