BEFORE YOU START, READ THESE WARNINGS
1) NEVER PLUG POWER DEVICES OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED BY
VARIZOOM INTO THE SYSTEM. ONLY USE VARIZOOM POWER
SOURCES AND CABLES. USING DIFFERENT POWER COMPONENTS
CAN LEAD TO SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE HEAD AND EVEN THE
CAMERA. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY.
2) DO NOT MODIFY THE SUPPLIED CABLES OR ATTEMPT TO
DISASSEMBLE THE HEAD.
3) LENS CONTROL CABLES MUST ONLY BE PLUGGED INTO THE
SPECIFIED INPUT JACK ON THE LENS ITSELF – NEVER PLUG A
12-PIN CONNECTOR ON A VARIZOOM LENS CONTROL CABLE
INTO THE 12PIN JACK ON THE CAMERA BODY. WHEN IN DOUBT,
CONSULT VARIZOOM OR YOUR LENS MANUAL.
4) THE ADVANCED CONTROLLER DOES NOT REQUIRE SEPARATE
POWER, IT RECEIVES POWER THROUGH THE GREEN-CODED
CONTROL CABLE THAT CONNECTS TO THE HEAD. THE “AUX”
POWER JACK ON THE ADVANCED CONTROLLER IS ONLY
UTILIZED IN WIRELESS CONFIGURATIONS AND SHOULD ONLY BE
CONNECTED TO A VARIZOOM POWER SUPPLY.
5) DO NOT OPERATE THE HEAD WITH AN UNBALANCED LOAD
(i.e., with the camera’s weight extremely off-center either
horizontally or vertically).
6) DO NOT GET THE SYSTEM WET – IT IS NOT WATERPROOF.
7) ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR LENS AND POWER CABLES HAVE
ENOUGH SLACK RUNNING THROUGH THE TILT AXIS TO
PREVENT TWISTING AND TEARING OF THE CABLES.
8) MAKE SURE YOUR LENS CLEARS THE BASE OF THE HEAD WHEN
TILTING. IF THE LENS DOES NOT CLEAR THE BASE, SET SOFT
LIMITS (SECTION 7) TO PREVENT THE LENS FROM STRIKING THE
BASE OF THE HEAD WHEN TILTING.
9) WHEN USING THE CP JR’s ONBOARD LENS CONTROLS TO
CONTROL YOUR CAMERA, ALWAYS POWER THE CAMERA UP
LAST. OTHERWISE, THE RECORD START/STOP FEATURE MAY
FALL OUT OF SYNC. TO AVOID THIS ISSUE, JUST MAKE SURE TO
CONNECT XLR POWER TO THE HEAD
BEFORE YOU TURN YOUR
CAMERA ON.
