functionality of the appliance and result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury.

 Never install the appliance in areas exposed to water or other liquids.

 The camera housing complies with class IP-66.

 The appliance has to be installed in a safe and stable location which is able to carry the weight of

the appliance. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance to fall

causing serious injury to persons and damage to objects.

 Openings in the appliance, if any, are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the

appliance and to protect if from overheating. These openings must not be covered or blocked.

Please make sure that the appliance does not overheat.

 The appliance should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied at the installation location, please contact

your local dealer.

 An appliance which is powered through a polarized plug (a plug with one blade wider than the

other) will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert

the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

plug.

 If the appliance is powered through a grounding-type plug, the plug will only fit into a grounding-

type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not have the grounding plug

receptacle, contact your local electrician.

 Route power cords and cables in a manner to protect them from damage by being walked on or

pinched by items places upon or against them.

 For protection of the appliance during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused

for a longer period, unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Disconnect any antennas or cable

systems that may be connected to the appliance. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to

lightning or power-line surges.

 In case of any operating interruption or a complete operating failure please switch off the

appliance and disconnect it from the wall outlet. Never attempt to service or repair the appliance

yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

 When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician uses replacements parts

specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

 Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to verify that the appliance is in proper operating condition.

 The appliance should only be installed by qualified service personnel and has to comply with local

specifications and regulations.

The camera is equipped with IR-LEDs. Please make sure to always keep a distance of

> 1m to avoid damages to your health. Never look directly into the IR-LEDs – this may

cause eye damages!

 Never point the camera at an object with a high degree of luminance. Bright vertical or horizontal

lines can result in a distortion (outshine) of the entire image on the monitor. This artifact is not an

error but a particularity of semiconductor CCDs when they are directly exposed to a powerful light

source.

 At the installation site, the camera has to be adjusted to the given light conditions (see OSD).

 Please respect the local legal regulations on waste if you need to dispose of discarded appliances.

This symbol means that electrical appliances need to be disposed of properly and not
