Handling Your Camera
When you use the camera, carefully read and observe the “Safety
Precautions” and the notes given below.
Avoid Using or Storing the Camera in the Following Places
Places exposed to humidity, dust, and dirt
Places exposed to direct sunlight
Places exposed to extreme temperatures
Places exposed to highly flammable gases
Places near substances such as gasoline, benzene and paint thinners
Places subject to strong vibration
Places exposed to smoke or steam
Places exposed to strong magnetic fields (near electric motors,
transformers, magnets, etc.)
Places where the camera will be in direct contact with chemicals (such
as pesticides), rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time
Avoid Subjecting the Camera to Vibration or Impacts
If the camera is subjected to strong vibrations, not only will the camera
become damaged, data stored on the hard disk drive may also be lost.
Prevent the Hard Disk Camera from Coming into Contact with Sand
Sand in the camera will damage the camera, possibly to the extent that it
cannot be repaired.
Take particular care when using the hard disk camera at the seaside, in
sandy areas or in other places where the camera may be exposed to sand
dust.
Pay Attention to Condensation
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when you move the camera from
a cold location to a warm one, may cause water droplets (condensation) to
form on the inside of the camera or on the lens.
When this occurs, turn the camera off, and wait an hour or so before using
the camera. If condensation forms on the SD card, remove the card, wipe
off any condensation and wait a short time before using it again.
Cleaning the Camera
To prevent scratches on the lens or LCD monitor, blow off any dust with
a blower brush and lightly wipe the surfaces with a soft dry cloth.
Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not use volatile
liquids such as thinners, benzene or pesticides. This could cause
deformation or strip off the coating material.
