If any of the following problems occur when using the WAT-240E,
 An optimal picture cannot be obtained, after checking that all the cables
and connections are correctly in place.

Power Supply
Use a stabilized power adaptor designed for DC+6V, with a current
capacity of more than 300mA. Use the optional DC plug if the shape orpolarity of the DC plug of the power adaptor to be used is not compatible
with the camera.
The wiring on the connector must be exact.
Be careful not to touch the other terminals while wiring. Protect the wired
portion by using insulation tape after wiring. If the above care and attention
is not adhered to, damage to the WAT-240E and power adaptor may occur

not designed for use with this type of equipment. We also
advise you to read the operation manual of the monitor you
plan to use before any connections are made.
 Do not install the WAT-240E in a position subject todirect sunlight.
