Important safeguards
Before operating the FlexCam iCam Digital camera, please read the entire manual
thoroughly. The FlexCam iCam Digital was designed, built and tested for use indoors. Using a
power supply other than the one provided or using the camera outside could damage the
camera or peripheral equipment and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.
• Do not operate the camera if the power cord is damaged or if the camera has been dropped
or damaged. A qualified service technician must examine the camera before operating.
• Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled on or come into contact with hot
surfaces.
• Always unplug the camera from the electrical outlet before cleaning or servicing.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids.
Handling the camera
• All ClearOne cameras are for indoor use only.
• Do not use cameras next to food or beverages. Cameras have been tested and approved for
use in chemistry labs. However, be careful not to spill liquid or dry chemicals or solvents on
the camera.
• Do not use cameras right next to working TVs, radios, motors, transformers or magnetic
fields.
• Avoid touching the lens. To clear any dust, blow pressurized air onto the lens. Clean smears
or smudges by wiping with a lens cleaning cloth.
• Clean exterior of camera by wiping with a clean, damp cloth; do not use any abrasive
chemicals.
• Use both hands whenever adjusting the neck of the camera; this will avoid any unnecessary
strain on the camera base and will keep the camera from tipping over.
• Do not attempt to take the camera apart. There are no user-serviceable components inside.
• Do not direct the lens of the camera toward the sun. This may damage the camera.
• Do not store or operate the camera under the following conditions:
~ Outdoors or connected to outdoor or auxiliary power sources.
~ In environments with high humidity.
~ In inclement weather.
~ Under severe vibration.
