Safety and Compliance information

2.1 Installation

• Use a power adapter or a PoE device that meets requirements. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.
• Make sure the length of the power cable between the power adapter and the camera is not too long, otherwise the voltage of the camera is lowered, causing the camera to  work abnormally. If it is required to lengthen the power cable, lengthen the cable between the power adapter and the mains.
• Do not hold the tail cable by hand for weight bearing. Otherwise, the cable connector of the camera could be loosened.
• When connecting to an external interface, use an existing connection terminal, and ensure that the cable terminal (latch or clamp) is in good condition and properly  fastened. Ensure that the cable is not tense during mounting, with a proper margin reserved to avoid poor port contact or loosening caused by shock or shake.
• During the process of transportation, special attention is required for the protection of the transparent dome cover to prevent friction, scratch and contamination, etc. In  order to keep the cover clean, do not remove the protective film on the cover during mounting. After mounting is finished, remove the film before the device is powered on.

2.2 Maintenance

• Caution: There will be risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• If there is dust on the front glass surface, remove the dust gently using an oilfree brush or a rubber dust blowing ball.
• If there is grease or a dust stain on the front glass surface, clean the glass surface gently from the center outward using lens cleaning cloth. If the grease or the stain still  cannot be removed, use lens cleaning cloth dipped with detergent and clean the glass surface gently until it is removed.
• Do not use organic solvents, such as benzene or ethanol when cleaning the transparent dome cover.

2.3 Laser Safety (if applicable)

• Installation and maintenance must be carried out by trained and qualified personnel.

• The camera must be mounted at least 6 meters above the ground.
