PRECAUTIONS  
I In case of problem  
I Protect from humidity and dust  
Do not use the camera if smoke or a strange odour comes  
from the unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Disconnect  
the power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a  
Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).  
To prevent damages to the camera, do not install it where  
there is greasy smoke or steam, where the dampness may get  
too high, or where there is a lot of dust.  
I Protect from high temperatures  
I Do not open or modify  
Do not install close to stoves, or other heat generating devices,  
such as spotlights, etc., or where it could be subject to direct  
sunlight, as that could cause deformation, discoloration or  
other damages.  
Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause  
damage to the unit. For internal settings and repairs, consult  
your dealer (or a Sanyo Authorized Service Centre).  
Be careful when installing close to the ceiling, in a kitchen or  
boiler room, as the temperature may raise to high levels.  
I Do not put objects inside the unit  
Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get  
inside the camera. If used with a foreign object inside, it could  
cause a fire, short-circuits or damages.  
Install where the temperature range will stay between 10°C  
and 50°C. (no condensation)  
If water or a liquid gets inside the camera, disconnect the  
power cord immediately, and consult your dealer (or a Sanyo  
Authorized Service Centre). Be careful to protect the camera  
from rain, sea water, etc.  
I Cleaning  
Dirt can be removed from the cabinet by wiping it with a soft  
cloth. To remove stains, wipe with a soft cloth moistened  
with a soft detergent solution and wrung dry, then wipe dry  
with dry soft cloth.  
I Be careful when handling the unit  
Do not use benzine, thinner or other chemical product on  
the cabinet, as that may cause deformation and paint  
peeling. Before using a chemical cloth, make sure to read  
all accompanying instructions. Make sure that no plastic or  
rubber material comes in contact with the cabinet for a long  
period of time, as that may cause damage or paint peeling.  
To prevent damages, do not drop the camera or subject it to  
strong shock or vibration.  
I Install away from electric or magnetic fields  
If installed close to a TV, radio transmitter, magnet, electric  
motor, transformer, audio speakers the magnetic field they  
generate will distort the image.

SETTINGS  
I Iris function setting 1  
This should normally be set to the down (AI) position.  
When using an auto-iris lens (for indoor/  
outdoor use)  
Use a manual or fixed iris lens and set the lens aperture to the  
shortest F stop. Set the switch 1 to the up (EI) position.  
Set the switch 1 to the down (AI) position.  
CAUTION:  
If conditions are outside the electronic iris operation range or  
more than the maximum illumination, it will cause saturation of  
the CCD. In that case, use a manual iris lens.  
EI  
AI  
I Gain up setting 2  
Switch 2 should normally be set to NORM. If the monitoring  
location is dark and you would like to increase the luminance  
(brightness), set switch 2 to HI.  
Note: Please refer to the specifications for dynamic range of  
the electronic iris.  
CAUTION:  
The electronic iris is suitable for normal indoor use. When  
the switch 1 is set to the up (EI) position, do not use an  
auto-iris lens.  
Note: If switch 2 is set to HI, the images from the  
monitoring location will become brighter, but  
interference may become more noticeable.  
If used under fluorescent light, the image may flicker. In  
such a case, change to incandescent lighting or set the  
switch 1 to the down (AI) position and use an auto-iris  
lens.

function, set the switch 3 and 4 to the down (OFF)  
position.  
When MULTI mode is set, scenes with no backlighting may  
appear extremely dark and the object may appear over-  
exposed. If this happens, move the switch 4 to the up  
(CENT) position.
