Introduction
For your safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property, read this section carefully before using the product to
ensure proper and safe operation of your product.
WARNING
Power connection
RUse only the power source marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
RDo not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
RCompletely insert the power plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/
or excessive heat resulting in a fire.
RRegularly remove any dust, etc. from the power plug by pulling it from the power outlet, then wiping
with a dry cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a fire.
RIf the unit emits smoke or an abnormal smell, or makes an unusual noise, immediately unplug the
power plug from the power outlet and remove the battery pack. These conditions can cause fire or
electric shock. Confirm that smoke has stopped and contact an authorized service center.
RNever touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
Installation
RDo not use the unit in areas that are exposed to rain, moisture, steam, or oily smoke, or areas that
have excessive dust. This may cause fire or electric shock.
RDo not install or use this product near automatically controlled devices such as automatic doors and
fire alarms. Radio waves emitted from this product may cause such devices to malfunction resulting in
an accident.
RDo not perform any actions (such as damaging, altering, exposing to heat sources, or placing heavy
objects on the electrical parts and the power plug) that may damage the electrical parts and the power
plug. Using the unit with damaged electrical parts or a damaged power plug may cause electric shock,
short circuits, or fire. Contact an authorized service center for repairs.
Operating safeguards
RTo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this unit. Refer servicing to an authorized
service center when service is required. Opening covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
RDo not touch the Base Unit, electrical parts, or the power plug during an electrical storm. There may be
a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
RNever put metal objects inside the unit. This may cause fire or electric shock. If metal objects enter the
unit, immediately unplug the power plug from the power outlet and refer servicing to an authorized
service center.
RNever spill any liquids on the unit or get the unit wet in any way. This may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury. If the unit becomes wet, immediately unplug the power plug from the power outlet and refer
servicing to an authorized service center.
RNever spill any liquids on the electrical parts or power plug, or get the electrical parts or power plug wet
in any way. This may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. If the electrical parts or power plug becomes
wet, immediately unplug the power plug from the power outlet and refer servicing to an authorized
service center.
RUnplug this unit from power outlets and refer servicing to an authorized service center when the
following conditions occur:
– If the power cord is damaged or frayed.

operates in the frequency range of 1.92 GHz to 1.93 GHz, and the RF transmission power is 115 mW
(max.).)
RDo not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
(radio frequency) energy.
Installation and relocation
RThe power plug is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the power outlet is installed near
the product and is easily accessible.
RMake sure to have sure footing when attaching or taking off the unit. Tripping over or falling down may
cause injury.

Double-sided tape (included)
(3) Remove the silicon paper from the double-sided tape, then hang the Wireless Camera from
where it was positioned before.
(4) After pressing the wireless unit into the door to so that it sticks to the door, adjust the position
of the metal plate so that the distance between the wireless unit and camera unit matches the
width of the door while holding the camera unit.
7Close the door, then firmly tighten the fixing screw (B) while holding the wireless unit to stop it from
moving.
RHold the long part of the hex key and firmly tighten the fixing screw.

21
Getting Started
RIf the door is made of wood, make sure to use the included screws to fix the metal plate to the top
side of the door. Make sure to get permission from the owner before fixing screws to the door.
Important:
RBecause the Wireless Camera uses double-sided tape with strong adhesion to prevent it from falling
down, care is needed when removing the Wireless Camera from the door. (Forcibly removing the
double-sided tape may damage the surface of the door.)
