Maintenance
Cleaning
the lenses
Make sure that all lenses are clean and free from dust and fingerprints. A
dirty lens filter can make it difficult to obtain clear images. If you find that
lenses are dirty, follow the procedure below to clean them.
• Use a soft brush or blower to remove dust.
• If the lens is fingerprinted, dampen a soft and clean cotton cloth, lens
tissue, or gauze with absolute alcohol (methyl or ethyl alcohol) and wipe
the lens surface.
• Absolute alcohol and benzene are highly volatile and must be handled
carefully. Keep sources of fire or flame well away while using them. Do
not operate the power switch while handling them.
Cleaning
painted
Never use solvents such as alcohol, ether, or paint thinner to clean painted,
sections
plastic, or printed areas. These solvents will damage or discolor finished
and painted surfaces and erase panel markings. Nikon recommends
silicone-based cleaners for cleaning.
Storage
• Shut down your PC if you do not intend to use the DXM1200C for a while.
• If you do not plan to use the DXM1200C for an extended period, remove
the interface cable from the camera connector and the interface board
connector. Be sure to shut down your PC before removing the interface
cable.
• Store the DXM1200C in a dry, mildew-free place.
• Cover the DXM1200C to protect it against dust.
Regular
inspection
To ensure a constant high level of performance, we recommend that you have
the DXM1200C inspected on a regular basis. Ask your distributor about a
regular inspection contract.
