FCC Notice to Users
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. 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.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused
by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Keep all parts and accessories out of children's reach.
2. Fingerprints or dirt on the lens surface can adversely affect
camera performance. Avoid touching the lens with your fingers.
3. Should the lens become dirty, use a blower to blow off dirt and
dust, or a soft dry cloth to wipe the lens.
4. Keep the camera dry. Precipitation, humidity and other liquids
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
5. Do not use or store in dusty, dirty areas.
6. Do not use or store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices and warp or melt certain plastics.
7. Do not store in very cold areas. When the system warms up, the
moisture can form inside the case, which may damage electronic
circuit boards.
8. Do not attempt to open the case. Non-expert handling of the
device may damage the system.
9. Avoid dropping or strong shocks.
10. Operate the product using only the AC adapters included or
provided as an accessory.
11. Do not overload electrical outlets or extension cords. This can
result in a fire or an electric shock.
