Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communi-
cations. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heat-
ing tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. [WV-BWC4000] has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This product has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the com-

This product will be inoperable for around 40 second after the restart just as when the power is turned on. Do not touch the bottom terminal of the BWC. Failure to observe this may cause poor con-
tact. Periodically images on the screen appear to be distorted When the camera is installed in a location where it is subject to small vibrations (for exam-
ple, when it is installed near devices that vibrate), images may appear distorted and stretched lengthways. This phenomenon is a characteristic of image pickup devices that use MOS sensors and is caused by the relationship between the peri-
odic movements of the camera and the timing that the image sensor reads images. This is not a problem with the camera. About internal memory card The internal memory card is consumables:
Replace it in accordance with their operating lifetimes. It's operating lifetimes vary depending on the usage environment and conditions. Make sure to contact a service engineer when replacing the internal memory card.
