2.6 Cleaning and Care

We want your Scout equipment to last – so here are some brief steps to keep it happy!

2.6.1 Cleaning

For cleaning we recommend a slightly dampened (not wet) micro-fiber cloth. Do not spray
water directly into the inside of the equipment. Any liquid that goes into the sensor may
cause an electrical failure of the device. Do not use a flammable liquid/solvents or cleaning
agents on the sensor – just a micro-fiber cloth (dampened if needed).

2.6.2 Care and storage

Scout equipment is designed to handle normal wear and tear but there are some things to
avoid:
Do not get the unit wet internally.

If not using the external connectors be sure to attach the protective cover or

water may leak into the sensor causing damage.
Do not drop the unit (there is some fancy technology inside – if you wouldn't

drop your camera, why would you drop this sensor?!?)
Protect the unit's sensor opening when packing up your gear. If a tripod fights

the PIR sensor – the tripod will win.
Do not allow dirt to get into the blue weatherproof seal around the battery

compartment. This could cause seal failure and damage to the sensor and/or
batteries.
Do NOT remove the four screws on the back of the sensor (opposite of the

battery door). This may cause water to leak into the electronics.
Remove all batteries prior to long term storage.

Failure to properly care for the Scout PIR could result in a leak that may damage the unit.
The product warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user error.
