Notes The AW-PB305A cannot be installed to the following models; AW-RP605, AW-PB605 When the studio card unit is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor to dispose of it properly in order to protect the environment. Characteristics An inter-communications headset can be used and its volume adjusted. The STANDBY/ON switch function of the viewfinder (WV-VF65B, AW-VF80) is incorporated. Output signals (brightness and composite video signals) to the viewfinder can be switched using the menu settings. Zebra pattern and safety zone displays appearing in the viewfinder can be switched using the menu settings. The VIDEO ON/OFF switch function of the viewfinder (AW-VF64) is incorporated. (In order to prevent CRT burn-in, the AW-VF64 does not come with a standby function. ) Precautions for use When connecting or disconnecting a cable from any unit, ensure that the power to that unit is turned off. Do not drop this product or subject it to strong shock or vibration, as this may cause it to malfunction. Avoid using the unit in very humid or dusty locations, as this may cause it to malfunction. Avoid using the product at a cold place below 14°F (­10°C) or at a hot place above 113°F (+45°C) because extremely low or high temperature will adversely affect the parts inside. -6- Major operating controls and their functions Studio card EVF connector [EVF] The EVF cable 7 from the interface bracket is connected here. 4 Inter-communications jack (M3) [INCOM] The inter-communications headset is connected here.
