The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol,

within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert

the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous

voltage within the product’s enclosure that may

be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of

electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle

is intended to alert the user to the presence of

important operating and maintenance (servicing)

instructions in the literature accompanying the

appliance.

type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power,

please consult your equipment dealer or local

power company.

8. Power Cords

Operator or installer must remove power and

communications connections before handling the

equipment.

9. Lightning

For added protection for this equipment during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from

the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system.

This will prevent damage to the equipment due to

lightning and power-line surges.

10. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as

this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

11. Objects and Liquids

of this equipment as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short out parts that could result

in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the equipment.

12. Servicing

Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

13. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet and

refer servicing to qualified service personnel under

the following conditions:

When the power-supply cord or the plug has

been damaged.

If liquid is spilled, or objects have fallen into the

equipment.

If the equipment has been exposed to rain or

water.

If the equipment does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions, adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the equipment to its normal operation.

If the equipment has been dropped, or the

cabinet damaged.

When the equipment exhibits a distinct change

in performance —this indicates a need for service.

14. Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer or that have the same

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or

other hazards.

15. Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

equipment, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to determine that the equipment is in

proper operating condition.

16. Field Installation

This installation should be made by a qualified

service person and should conform to all local

codes.

17. Correct Batteries

Warning: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced

by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries

according to the instructions.

18. Tmra

A manufacturer’s maximum recommended ambient

temperature (Tmra) for the equipment must

be specified so that the customer and installer

may determine a suitable maximum operating

environment for the equipment.

19. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,

the operating ambient temperature of the rack

environment may be greater than room ambient.

Therefore, consideration should be given to

installing the equipment in an environment

compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated

ambient temperature (Tmra).

20. Reduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in the rack should be

such that the amount of airflow required for safe

operation of the equipment is not compromised.

21. Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be

such that a hazardous condition is not caused by

uneven mechanical loading.

22. Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to connection of

the equipment to supply circuit and the effect

that overloading of circuits might have on over

current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate

consideration of equipment nameplate ratings

should be used when addressing this concern.

23. Reliable Earthing (Grounding)

Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment

should be maintained. Particular attention should

be given to supply connections other than direct

connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of

power strips).

The A-Series PVMs feature an Axis M1025 camera built-in. This IP camera is POE capable (48V

POE). When using POE, the camera will continue to be powered, and output video even if the

main 24VDC (or 110VAC) power is disconnected from the PVM.

You can quickly view, setup, and configure the Axis IP camera inside the PVM by using the

included software on the Mini-CD. If your computer does not have a Mini-CD capable drive you

can download the software direct from the Axis website:

www.Axis.com/techsup/software

For more detailed information on setting up the Axis camera, refer to the full user guide here:

www.Axis.com/files/manuals/um_m1025_63354_en_1505.pdf

PVMs are connected, use the Serial number shown on the Owner Authentication card included

with the PVM to find the correct PVM from the list, or simply connect to any M1025 from the

list until you choose the desired PVM view.

Note: Each A-Series PVM includes an Owner Authentication Key which shows the Serial

number for the unit. Keep this key in a safe place and if multiple PVMs are present,

document which unit the serial number is associated with for easy service in the future.
