■ Do not use this product near high-voltage power lines or power source. The product may

receive harmful interference.

■ Do not use this product in locations subject to humidity, dust, smoke, oil smoke or steam.

Dirt may attach to the optical parts such as lens causing unclear image.

■ Do not use this product in locations exposed to extreme temperature or locations where

the temperature changes too quickly.

Use this product under the following environmental conditions:

Temperature：5℃～ 35℃ Humidity： less than 85％(No condensation)

■ When the product is suddenly brought into a warm place from a cold place or when the

room temperature is quickly raised, condensation may occur to the surface of the lens

causing unclear image. Wait until the condensation is completely gone and the image

becomes clear.

■ Do not touch lens. It may leave fingerprint which results in blurred image.

■ Depending on the type of the USB flash drive, the operation may not be guaranteed.

■ Transfer the data from the USB flash drive onto a device such as a computer to save a
