Caution



• Do not touch the shield of the camera cable connected

to a computer and the ground terminal of the lines at the

same time.

• If you are charged: before touching the shield of the cam-

era cable, make sure to discharge first (by touching the

ground terminal of the lines).

• Use only DC power supplies with insulated cases. These

are identified by having only two power connectors.

• If you feel uncomfortable with the previous advice or if

you have no knowledge about the connectivity of an

installation, we strongly recommend powering down

all systems before connecting or disconnecting a cam-

era.
