Only perform initialization when the Wireless Camera is within signal range. 21 Useful Information Replacing batteries When the batteries of the Wireless Camera run out of power ( ), exchange them with new batteries. R ONLY USE Alkaline AA (LR6) batteries. R Refer to page 15 for information on how to insert batteries. R To prevent the Wireless Camera from falling down, make sure to close the door and turn off the power of the Wireless Camera before replacing batteries. Cleaning R Clean the unit with a soft, dry cloth. For excessive dirt, wipe the unit with a slightly damp cloth. R When cleaning the Monitor and its electrical parts and power plug, make sure to unplug the power plug from the power outlet. Important: R Do not use anything containing alcohol, polish powder, powder soap, benzine, thinner, wax, petroleum, or boiling water. Also do not spray with insecticide, glass cleaner, or hair spray. This could cause a change in color or quality. 22 Help Troubleshooting Display issues Problem Cause & Solution Images appear slightly distorted. R This is a characteristic of camera lenses and is not a malfunction. – The image of a person’s face is dark. R When there is a backlight in the place where the Wireless Camera is located, the person’s face becomes dark. – Adjust the brightness of the display while monitoring. 19 The image is not clear or is blurry. R The surface of the lens of the Wireless Camera is dirty. – Clean it with a dry soft cloth. 22 R The surface of the lens of the Wireless Camera is wet with dew. Wait for the condensation to evaporate. – The image is white or black. R The brightness of the display is not properly adjusted. Adjust the brightness while monitoring. 19 The image is white, or white lines or circles are shown on the display. R Strong light such as sunlight is shining into the lens of the Wireless Camera. Though this may cause the display image to become difficult to see, this is not a malfunction. – Locate the Wireless Camera away from direct sunlight. – The image is flickering. R The MOTTLED COLOR PREVENT setting does not match the power frequency for the region that you are using the unit in. – Matching the power frequency for the region that you are using the unit in can improve the quality of the colors displayed. When using the unit in a different region (after moving, etc.), match the settings to that region. 21 R AC (alternating current) lights such as fluorescent lights may cause flickering. This is not a malfunction. – R The distance between the Monitor and Wireless Camera is too far, or there is a concrete wall or other obstruction between the Monitor and Wireless Camera. – Move the Monitor to a location closer to the Wireless Camera that has no obstructions. The image displayed on the Monitor distorts or is displayed slowly. (It takes about 5 seconds or more to be displayed.) Page Monitor Problem Cause & Solution The Monitor is warm. R This is normal. (It may feel a little warmer in summer than in winter.) – If it feels very hot, unplug the power plug from the power outlet, then contact our service personnel. Page – 23 Help Others Problem Cause & Solution The Wireless Camera’s batteries run out of power quickly. R The Wireless Camera is out of range of the Monitor. – When the Wireless Camera is out of range of the Monitor, it repeatedly searches for the Monitor which causes the batteries’ power to be consumed faster. Move the Monitor so that it is within range of the Wireless Camera. 12 R The power plug is unplugged from the power outlet. – When the Monitor is disconnected from the power outlet it causes the Wireless Camera to become out of range from the Monitor. This causes the Wireless Camera to repeatedly search for the Monitor which results in the batteries’ power being consumed faster. When unplugging the power plug of the Monitor, turn the slide switch of the Wireless Camera to OFF. – R You are using rechargeable batteries. – Depending on the capacity of the rechargeable batteries, their life span may become shorter. This is not a malfunction. – There is a power failure. R The unit does not work during a power failure. – The unit does not work with correct operations. (The unit does not work properly.) R Perform the following operations. 24 Page Wireless Camera: Replace the batteries. 22 Monitor: Disconnect it from the power outlet and then reconnect it after waiting for about 10 seconds. – Program settings are not affected. – Help Error messages Problem Cause & Solution CANNOT CONNECT TO CAMERA The following may be causing the problem. Page R The Wireless Camera is turned off. – Turn the Wireless Camera on. R The batteries of the Wireless Camera have run out of power. – Replace the batteries. 22 R The Wireless Camera is turned on, but the Wireless Camera is out of range from the Monitor. – Move the Monitor to an area close to the Wireless Camera that has no obstructions between the Wireless Camera and Monitor. (When the Wireless Camera is in range of the Monitor it can connect to the Monitor.) – Turn the power for the Wireless Camera off then on. (When the Wireless Camera is in range of the Monitor it can connect to the Monitor.) – When using a replacement Wireless Camera when servicing your original Wireless Camera, the replacement Wireless Camera must be paired to the Monitor. Refer to the following for instructions on how to pair the Wireless Camera. n How to pair Wireless Cameras After performing operations on the Monitor, perform operations on the Wireless Camera within about 2 minutes.
