1. Do not attempt to disassemble the camera.

To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or

covers.

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Ask a

qualified service person for servicing.

2. Handle the camera with care.

Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking,

etc. The camera could be damaged by improper

handling or storage.

3. Do not expose the camera to rain or moisture,

or try to operate it in wet areas.

Turn the power off immediately and ask a qualified

service person for servicing. Moisture can damage

the camera and also create the danger of electric

shock.

4. Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when

cleaning the camera body.

Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when dirty.

In case the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild deter-

gent and wipe gently.

5. Clean the CCD faceplate with care.

Do not clean the CCD with strong or abrasive

detergents. Use lens tissue or a cotton tipped

applicator and ethanol.

6. Never face the camera towards the sun.

Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether

the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun

or other extremely bright objects. Otherwise,

blooming or smear may be caused.

7. Do not operate the camera beyond the specified

temperature, humidity or power source ratings.

Use the camera under conditions where tempera-

ture is between −10°C - +50°C (14°F - 122°F), and

humidity is below 90 %. The input power source is

120 V AC 60 Hz for WV-CL920 and 12 V DC/24 V

AC for WV-CL924.

Caution:

To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, use a

UL listed cable (VW-1, style 1007) for the 12 V

DC or 24 V AC Input Terminal.
