About This Guide

Other Warnings and Safety Precautions
For operating safety and to avoid damage to your Camfire PC system, carefully read and
observe the following instructions:
1. Avoid installing the Camfire PC system near radio transmitting devices. The
electromagnetic radiation created by radio transmitting devices may reduce the
quality of the images you save using the Camfire PC system.
2. Avoid setting up and using the Camfire PC system in an area with excessive levels of
dust, humidity or cigarette smoke.
3. As you install the Camfire PC system, make sure you tighten the security hex screw
on the camera boom base. This screw ensures the equipment can’t be accidentally
knocked free from the wall brackets. It also helps prevent unauthorized individuals
from removing or taking the equipment.
4. Avoid exposing the Camfire PC system to extreme heat or cold. The operating
temperature range for the Camfire PC system is from 30°F to 104°F (-1°C to 40°C)
with up to 90% humidity non-condensing. The shipping and storage range for the
Camfire PC system is from -13°F to 140°F (-25°C to 60°C) with up to 95% humidity
non-condensing.
Cleaning the Camera Boom
Only clean the lens with a cloth designed specifically for that purpose. Lens-cleaning cloths
are available from most photography stores.
