OPERATING, MAINTENANCE
& TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
• Never remove the SD card while taking a picture or recording a video.
Doing so may damage the card and erase or corrupt the photo or video.
• If the LCD suddenly goes dark, the first two things to check are the
integrity of the console’s connection to the probe and the charge of the
console’s batteries. The reason for the failure also could be that you have
forgotten to remove the rubber cap protecting the probe tip.
• If live video begins to look spotty, streaky or intermittent, the likely reason
is weak batteries.
• To change batteries, follow the procedure on pp. 8 and 9. To gain access to
the battery compartment, you only need to detach the bottom end of the
hand strap.
• Avoid using corrosive liquids such as alcohol to clean either the console or
the probe. To clean the camera’s lens and LEDs and the LCD, use a cotton
swab moistened with water and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth. To clean
the housing of the console, use a soft, dry cloth.
• Operate and store the DCS800 only in a cool (under 140ºF or 60ºC), dry,
well-ventilated place. Avoid exposing the unit to sunlight for long periods of
time.
• To avoid damaging the console’s probe connector, use only compatible
probes.
