cover or back, unless you are a qualified personnel.

Refer all mountings, connections, servicing to quali-

fied service personnel.

prevent a fire and electric shock.

CAUTION

• Do not drop the product, do not expose it to strong

shock, or do not step on it, to prevent a fire and

injuries.

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.
