Precautions for installation

To avoid malfunction or communication disturbances, do not install the doorphone or the main
monitor in the following locations:
- Places where vibration or any other kind of impact occurs.
- Places where echoing is frequent.
- Places near a high concentration of dust, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, sulphur, or noxious
fumes.
■ For the doorphone
● If a strong light is shining on the doorphone, the visitor's face may not be distinguishable. Do
not place the doorphone in the following locations:
- Where most of the background is the sky.
- Where the background is a white wall, and direct sunlight will reflect off it.
- Where direct sunlight will shine on the doorphone.
● Do not place the doorphone in locations where echoing occurs, as this will cause the
doorphone to beep frequently.
● Dust protection/water protection is IP54.
Only when installation work specified in this guide is properly performed and appropriate water
protection treatment is performed.
● Make sure the rear of the doorphone is not subject to water.
● Depending on the installation location, condensation may form on the doorphone's lens cover.
This may cause images to become obscured. Condensation will dissipate as the temperature
rises.
■ For the main monitor
● Install the main monitor away from electronic appliances such as TVs, radios, personal
computers, air conditioners, boiler control panels with intercom, home security equipment,
wireless devices, or digital cordless phones.
● Do not install the main monitor in places where it will be affected by extremely high-frequency
radio waves (near broadcasting antennas etc.). This may cause the display to flicker or an
interrupting noise to occur.
● Leave at least 20 cm of space above, below, and to the left and right sides of the main
monitor. Do not install on a wall that is deeply recessed.
● Do not install the main monitor inside a wall.
● Be sure to install the main monitor more than 5 m away from the doorphone.
● The product operates in the frequency range of 1.88 GHz to 1.90 GHz, and the RF
