CI Cam (XTE J0421+560) is an X-ray transient and a binary system with the optical companion, which shows the B[e] phenomenon. Its strong all-wavelength outburst occured in 1998 April. The system consists of a B4 III-V star and a possible white dwarf on an eccentric (e = 0.62) orbit with the period of 19.407 day (ATel #416; Astronomy Reports, 2006, V.50, 664). We analysed seventeen echelle spectra (resolution FWHM=0.08-0.21A) taken with Russian 6-m telescope BTA (LYNX and NES spectrographs), CFHT (ESPaDOnS spectrograph), and McDonald 2.1-m (Sandiford spectrograph) and 2.7-m (cs2 spectrograph) telescopes.
