At some point, it may become necessary to clean debris that may have settled on the CCD imaging sensor
window. Cleaning the camera window can provide effective results providing you carefully follow these
step-by-step directions.
WARNINGS
• Only open the shutter (if present) using camera control software.
• Do not attempt to manually open the shutter (if applicable) with your fingers or other objects.
• The glass is located very close to the CCD imaging sensor. Scratching the window may require the
window to be replaced.
• Cleaning the window is done entirely at the customers risk, window replacement is not covered under
the warranty. It's better to under-clean than to over-clean.
