- Only use a 6 V mains adapter (not included in the
scope of delivery) to power the camera externally, oth-
erwise there is a risk of fire or electric shock. Disconnect
the power supply by removing the mains adapter from
the socket. If the mains adapter (not included in the
scope of delivery) remains in the wall socket, it can still
consume power and represent a source of danger.
- In the event of a thunderstorm, the mains adapter (not
included in the scope of delivery) should not be used.
There is a risk of electric shock.
Heat damage – risk of fire
- Do not leave the camera in places where the tem-
perature can rise sharply (e.g. in a vehicle). This could
damage the housing and internal parts, which in turn
can cause a fire.
- Do not wrap or place the camera on textiles as this
could lead to a build-up of heat inside the camera.
This can cause the housing to deform and increase the
risk of fire.
Possible hazards when using batteries
- Replace all batteries at the same time. Clean the con-
tacts on the batteries and inside the camera before
inserting fresh batteries. Before disposal, the batteries
must be removed from the camera and disposed of sep-
arately from the unit.
- Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used
for a longer period of time. If the batteries have re-
mained in the camera for an extended period of time,
remove them immediately as they might overheat
and thus increase the danger of fire when the camera
has been activated.

- There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are incor-
rectly inserted or if the wrong types are used. Use only
LR6 or NiMH 1.5 V AA batteries.
- Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat such
as direct sunlight, open flames etc. as this may cause a
fire or explosion. Do not store batteries near fire, ovens
or other sources of excessive heat.
- Batteries should never be stored at temperatures below
10°C (50°F) and not above 40°C (104°F).
- Keep the batteries out of the reach of children.
- Never transport batteries in a bag or toolbox as they
may come into contact with metal objects and thus raise
the risk of fire.
- Batteries should never be thrown into a fire, short
circuited, forcefully discharged, deformed or taken
apart. This will greatly raise the risk of fire or explosion.
- Do not touch batteries that have leaked without proper
protection. If battery acid has come into contact
with your skin, thoroughly wash the area with plenty
of soap and water.
If you get battery acid in your eyes, rinse your eyes with
plenty of water and contact a doctor immediately.
Batteries should be disposed of exclusively at specifically
designated collection points or at your retailer.
Possible injuries and property damage
WARNING ! To avoid injuries, the camera must be securely
mounted on the ground, on a tree, on a post or on a wall.
- Place the camera only on stable surfaces. Other-
wise, the camera may fall or tilt; it can be damaged and
cause injury.
