Camera sensitivity can be increased by up to 100 times
by inserting the high-sensitivity card AW-PB303 into a
convertible camera, AW-E300, for example, because its
CCD storage (slow shutter) raises camera sensitivity.
The card also permits zoom and focus control from a
remote control box, WV-CB550, for example.
PREFACE
PRECAUTIONS
• Power Off Before Connecting or Disconnecting
Cables
Before plugging or unplugging the cables, be sure
to switch power off.
• Handle Carefully.
Do not drop the product, or subject it to strong
shock or vibration. This is important to prevent trou-
ble.
• Avoid Humidity and Dust.
Avoid using the product at a humid, dusty place
because much humidity and dust will cause dam-
age to the parts inside.
• Operating Temperature Range
Avoid using the product at a cold place below
–10°C or at a hot place above +45°C because
extremely low or high temperature will adversely
affect the parts inside.
• Cooling fan
There is a cooling fan in the card. It is an expend-
able part, and should be replaced with a new one
about every 50,000 hours. (Whenever fan replace-
ment is necessary, be sure to ask the store where
you purchased the card to do it for you.)
ZOOM/FOCUS connector
This is a standard lens input terminal with a zoom/focus
remote function.
If you are using a Panasonic pan/tilt head (AW-PH300),
connect the remote cable to the LENS I/F connector on
the pan/tilt head, not to the ZOOM/FOCUS connector.
Cooling fan (internal) ventilating port
ZOOM/FOCUS
•Do not cover the port or otherwise block
ventilation during operation.
Internal heat buildup can cause a fire.
•The fan has a service life of about 50,000 hours.
(at a room temperature of 25°C) Replace the fan
that has come to the end of its service life.
(If the fan is used at a room temperature of 35°C,
replace it about 30% sooner.)
Whenever fan replacement is necessary, be sure to
ask the store where you purchased the set.
