(page 5) of this manual as they contain important information. After the installation, give the "Installation Instructions" to the customer to save for future use. Ensure that the installation work complies with the technical standards governing electrical equipment. The unit is for indoor use only. It cannot be used outdoors. Avoid installation in a location where the unit will be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods or near a cooling or heating appliance. Otherwise, deformation, discoloration, malfunctioning and/or problems in operation may result. Operate the unit where it will not be splashed or sprayed by water. Use the unit with an installation where the unit is suspended from an overhead surface or with a stand‑alone installation. Do not use the unit on its side or tilted at an angle. Notes ●● Be absolutely sure to use the four bracket mounting screws (M4) for mounting the mount bracket. These are supplied with the unit. Do not use wood screws, nails, etc. In the case of a concrete ceiling, secure the unit using anchor bolts (for M4) or AY plug bolts (for M4). Recommended clamping torque M4: 1.47 N · m {15 kgf · cm} ●● The withdrawal strength of the mounting location for each screw must be at least 196 N {20 kgf}. ●● When mounting the unit on a ceiling made of plasterboard, for instance, if it is not strong enough to support its weight, either reinforce the ceiling adequately or use the WV‑Q105A direct ceiling mount bracket, which is sold separately. ●● When using a mount bracket which is sold separately, read the handling instructions. ●● Do not hold the camera head while undertaking the installation work. Doing so may cause malfunctioning. Correct Incorrect Correct Incorrect Desktop installation Hanging installation Concerning the installation location Install the unit in a stable location which will not be susceptible to shaking.
