Cleaning Instructions
Perform all cleaning operations (lenses, filter/protection glass, sensor in a
dust-free clean-room. The optical components are very fragile so it is import-
ant to avoid touching them with your fingers or any hard material.
1. Unplug the camera from any power supply before cleaning.
2. Apply a small amount of optics cleaner (60% ethyl alcohol, 40% ether) to
clean, new lens cleaning tissue.
Acceptable material includes medical-grade sterile optical cotton, or lens
tissue that is chemically pure and free from silicones and other additives.
– Do not use cosmetic cotton.
– Do not use consumer eyeglass cleaning cloths pre-treated with silicon.
Note

• Taking out the filter requires special care. The customer is
fully responsible for all actions of changing/removing
filter by himself.
• Ask your dealer to help you if you are not confident with
the procedure.
