CAUTION:

WARNING

Do not permanently attach the camera to dynamic -mount applica-

tions that continuously transmit vibration (such as on vehicles or

heavy machinery).

WARNING

Do not point the camera directly at any high-intensity objects that

you must not view with your eyes (such as the sun or a welding

arc). If you do, you will damage the camera.

WARNING

Operating OTS outside of its specified operating temperature

range or voltage range can cause permanent damage and will

void the warranty.

WARNING

Use the power button to turn the camera off before you remove

power (remove batteries or disconnect external power supply).

WARNING

OTS operates over a wide operating temperature range (-20°C

to +50°C). Not all AA batteries are specified over this same tem-

perature span. Check the manufacturer’s specifications of your

selected battery to verify the valid temperature range.

WARNING

DonotuseanybatteryotherthanaCR-123Alithiumbattery.DO

NOT use any battery(ies) providing a (combined) voltage greater

than3.0volts.

WARNING

Do not install batteries of different types (lithium with lithium-ion

rechargeable). All batteries must be of the same type.

WARNING

Always replace ALL 2 batteries. If you install new batteries with

used batteries, the result may be dangerous.
