CARE AND STORAGE

Cleaning
• If the data memory back is dirty, wipe it gently with a soft,
clean, dry cloth. If it comes in contact with sand, gently
blow away loose particles - wiping may scratch the
surface.
• Never use organic solvents to clean the data memory
back.
Storage
• Attach the DM-9 to the camera body when storing (lithium
batteries should be installed in the camera during storage).
If the VC-9 is attached during storage remove alkaline
batteries and set the power source dial to a lithium power
source.
• The life of the DM-9's battery will be extremely short if it is
not attached to the camera body during storage.
• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from
dust and chemicals such as moth balls. For long periods,
place the DM-9 in an airtight container with a silica gel
drying agent.
