ꢀ A place subject to high humidity.

● DT109 Beyerdyramic (headset)

ꢀ A place near to a strong source of noise.

Functions not available on the camera cannot be controlled

from this unit.

ⅷ Do not apply strong vibrations or impact to the RM-HP250

during installation or transportation.

: “Operable Camera Features” on page 29

REF.

ⅷ If the RM-HP250 is rack-mounted, be sure to insert ventilated

panels above and below it in order to improve ventilation,

Do not stack two RM-HP250 units or place any object on

top of a RM-HP250 unit.

In addition, make sure to keep surrounding temperature of

this unit below 40°C during use.

ⅷ If the supply voltage is too high or low, the service life of the

RM-HP250 may be reduced or it may not be able to provide

an optimum performance.

ⅷ Do not connect or disconnect the camera cable connector

while the RM-HP250 is ON.

ⅷ After turning the RM-HP250 OFF, wait at least 10 seconds

before turning it ON again.

ⅷ To save power consumption, turn the RM-HP250 OFF when

it is not in use.

ⅷ Noise may interfere with the video when the RM-HP250 is

installed near a source of strong magnetism, such as a radio

or TV transmitting antenna, power transformer or motor.

ⅷ While the values set by using the menus are retained in the

memory even after the unit is turned off, those set using the

front panel switches and controls are retained for about 10

days only and then the factory-set defaults are reset.

ⅷ As the LCD contrast is reduced at low temperatures, it should

be re-adjusted before use in such conditions.

: Item “6A: CONTRAST” on page 26.

REF.

ⅷ When a transceiver or cellular phone is used near to a RM-

HP250 or to a camera connected to it, noise may interfere

with the video. However, this is not a malfunction.

ⅷ When an intercom is used, radio interference may occa-

sionally affect any system that is connected to the RM-

HP250. In such a case the INTERCOM G (GND) terminal

provided to the RM-HP250 should be grounded.

ⅷ In a multiple camera setup, if the adjustments made to the

different cameras deviate significantly, the cameras may not

be able to function satisfactorily. Be sure to adjust the cam-

eras accordingly before using them with the RM-HP250.

ⅷ Use camera cables with standard lengths, as specified.

Otherwise, the camera cable compensation may not be able

to work efficiently.
