[Part 15 Subpart B]
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
[Part 15 Subpart C ]
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. WV-TW370 has been tested and found to comply with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines.
[Part 15 Subpart E]
Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)
Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC, through
the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by
the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it
then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the
aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue
transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.
Frequecncy Tolerance: within ±20 ppm
MEDICAL:
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the
frequency range of 2.412 GHz to 2.462 GHz, and the power output level is 0.1 watts.)
Do 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.

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired opera-
tion of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes:
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage;
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage
est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
[RSS-102]
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. WV-TW370 has been tested and found to comply with IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis en évidence aucun problème de
santé associé à l’usage des appareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes cependant pas en
mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les
appareils sans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le
spectre des micro-ondes lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut avoir des effets
sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus), l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’a
pas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreuses études ont été menées sur les
expositions aux RF faibles et n’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont suggéré
qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, mais ces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des
recherches supplémentaires. WV-TW370 a été testé et jugé conforme aux limites d’exposition aux
rayonnements énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition aux
fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.
[RSS-247]
5150-5350 MHz band is restricted to indoor operation only.
La bande 5150-5350 MHz est restreinte à une utilisation à l’intérieur seulement.
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz
and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN
devices.
Les radars de haute puissance sont désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu'ils ont la priorité) pour
les bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz, et ces radars pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou
des dommages aux dispositifs LAN-EL.

About the battery
A battery is installed inside the camera. Do not
leave the battery exposed in environments of
excessive heat as a result of sunlight or fire.
The capacity of the battery is reduced each
time it is used. In particular, recharging or using
the battery in high-temperature locations
increases deterioration.
Do not touch the lens with your bare
hands.
A dirty lens causes deterioration of picture
quality.
When an error is detected, this product
will restart automatically.
This product will be inoperable for around 1
minute after the restart just as when the power
is turned on.
Periodically images on the screen appear
to be distorted
When the camera is installed in a location
where it is subject to small vibrations (for
example, when it is installed near devices that
vibrate), images may appear distorted and
stretched lengthways.
This phenomenon is a characteristic of image
pickup devices that use MOS sensors and is
caused by the relationship between the peri-
odic movements of the camera and the timing
that the image sensor reads images. This is not
a problem with the camera.
About internal memory card
The internal memory card is consumables:
Replace it in accordance with their operating
lifetimes. It's operating lifetimes vary depending
on the usage environment and conditions.
Make sure to contact a service engineer when
replacing the internal memory card.
About the MOS image sensor
• When continuously shooting a bright light
source such as a spotlight, the color filter
of the MOS image sensor may become
deteriorated and this may cause discolor-
ation.
Even when changing the fixed shooting
direction after continuously shooting a
spotlight for a certain period, the discolor-
ation may remain.
• When shooting fast-moving subjects or
objects crossing the shooting area may
look to be bending askew.
About the built-in microphone
• If moisture attach to the peristome of buil-
tin microphone, the volume may decrease.
Please leave it to air dry sufficiently before
use.
• When cleaning the peristome of built-in
microphone, do not use any sharp-ended
object to stab it. Doing so may result in
failure.
