Notes:
l See the VR-4 1 OCH (or VR-4 1 OCA) operation
manual for details.
l You can recharge the battery pack by using the
VR-410CH in basically the same manner as the
supplied AC adaptor/battery charger (see page
14).
l The VR-410CA cannot be used to recharge
battery packs.
Cautions:
l Use in only DC 12 V or 24 V negative ground
system cars. Positive-ground car batteries
CANNOT BE USED. Check your car operation
manual or consult a local car dealer.
l Use the VR-410CH (or VR-410CA) only when the
car is idling or being driven. Otherwise, the car’s
battery will be drained.
l Charge only SHARP model BT-L2 battery pack.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury and damage.
l Before starting the car engine, the VR-41OCH (or
VR-410CA) must be unplugged from the ciga-
rette lighter socket.
l Before removing either the DC plug or the ciga-
rette lighter plug, the VIEWCAM’s Power switch
should be set to OFF.
l Do not apply strong force to the DC cable
connected to the VIEWCAM as this will cause a
malfunction.
l The battery used in this device may present the
risk of a rise in surface temperature and/or the
release of flammable vapors. Do not incinerate
or mutilate. Replace battery with BT-L2 only. Use
of another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
