Precautions

ODo not attempt to disassemble the camera, Remote Control Unit (RCU) or other units.

n order to prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside.

ODo not mishandle the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. The camera contains

precision components which could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

ODo not let the lens remain uncovered when the camera is not in use. f the lens is not

ODo not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the camera body.

ODo not aim the camera toward the sun, irrespective of whether it is turned on or not.

ODo not expose the camera or Remote Control Unit (RCU) to rain or moisture, and do not

try to operate the equipment in wet conditions. Do not operate the camera or RCU if it is

wet.

ODo not operate the camera or Remote Control Unit (RCU) outdoors during a thunder

storm.

ODo not use the camera where it will be subject to high temperatures or high humidity.

ODo not leave the camera and Remote Control Unit (RCU) turned on when not in use. Do

not unnecessarily turn the camera power on and off repeatedly. Do not block the

ventilation slots.

ORefer any servicing to qualified service personnel.

OHandle the camera with care.

OPlace the lens cap on the lens when the camera is not in use. f the lens is not installed,

protect the surface of the prism by placing the body cap over the lens mount hole.

OUse a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue designed for coated lenses to clean the

surface of the lens or prism if it requires cleaning.

OUse a dry cloth to clean the camera if it is dirty. f the dirt is hard to remove, use mild

detergent and wipe gently.

OUse caution when operating the camera near spot lights or bright lights, as well as any

objects and surfaces which may reflect light.

Of the camera or RCU gets wet, turn the power off immediately and have the unit

checked by an authorized service facility.

OFollow normal safety precautions to avoid personal injury.

OUse the camera in an environment where the temperature is within 14°F to 113°F

(–10°C to +45°C), and the relative humidity is within 30 % to 90 %.

OAlways turn the power off when the camera is not going to be used. Operate the

camera and RCU only when there is adequate ventilation.

OOperating a wireless device that generates powerful radio waves near the camera may

adversely affect the output images.
