How to Use This Documentation
FCC and Other Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
[For BL-C1A] This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
[For BL-C20A] Some wireless Cameras operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the wireless Camera should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move the wireless
Camera further away from the TV or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate interference. Operating near 2.4 GHz electrical appliances may cause
interference. Move away from the electrical appliances.
Environment:
Do not install the camera where the temperature is less than 0 ˚C (+32 ˚F) or greater than +40 ˚C (+104 ˚F). Allow 10 cm (4 inches) clearance around
the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, shock, or direct sunlight.
Routine care:
Wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder.
When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.
If you have any problems:
Consult an authorized Panasonic Factory Service Center.
Please read this manual before using, and save this manual for future
