Connect the AC adaptor cord to the DC IN jack, and plug the
AC cord into the power outlet.
• When you operate the camera, the power outlet should be near the camera and
easily accessible.
• Use only the specified Panasonic AC adaptor PSLP1242 (Order No.
PSLP1242Z).
• If the camera's indicator does not light green, see pages 3-4 of Troubleshooting
on the CD-ROM.
• A noise can be heard during pan/tilt operation. This is normal.
Note
• If you use an external microphone, excessive cable length or a poor quality cable can
cause a degradation in audio quality.
• The cables for the external microphone and external speaker must be shielded, and
less than 2.4 m long including the included Audio Cable. Using nonstandard cables
may cause sound interference due to strong radio waves.
• Use a speaker with a built-in amplifier. The speaker connects to the camera with a
stereo audio cable similar to that used by your PC. The output signal is mono.
• Make sure the camera and speaker are turned off when connecting or disconnecting
the Audio Cable or speaker cable, otherwise noise may be heard from the speaker.
• Use only the included Audio Cable when connecting an external microphone or
speaker.
• The external microphone input (via the Audio Cable) does not correspond to a line
level. Audio may be distorted when the line level is input. Audio distortion will be
solved if you insert the following circuits. Under no circumstance should high-level
audio, such as from a speaker, be connected to this input terminal. Doing so is likely
to damage the camera.
