For the doorphone
● If a strong light is shining on the doorphone, the visitor’s face may not be distinguishable. Do
not place the doorphone in the following locations:
- Where most of the background is the sky.
- Where the background is a white wall, and direct sunlight will reflect off it.
- Where direct sunlight will shine on the doorphone.
● Do not place the doorphone in locations where echoing occurs, as this will cause the
doorphone to beep frequently.

Only when installation work specified in this guide is properly performed and appropriate water
protection treatment is performed.
● Make sure the rear of the doorphone is not subject to water.
● Depending on the installation location, condensation may form on the doorphone’s lens cover.
This may cause images to become obscured. Condensation will dissipate as the temperature
rises.
