3 Maintenance of the Camera

3.1 Routine Care and Cleaning

1) Before cleaning the camera, turn off the power and remove the battery and the AC/DC adapter.
2) Regularly clean the camera to maintain its performance.
3) When the surface of the infrared lens or the optical window becomes dirty, carefully wipe off dirt
with a clean, soft cloth, such as one for cleaning glasses, so that the lens or the window will not be
scratched.
4) Never wash the camera with water.
5) When the camera becomes dusty, blow the dust away with a blower, and then wipe the camera with
a damp cloth.
6) Avoid using any chemicals or solvents. Use of chemicals or solvents may result in damage to the
camera.
7) When the camera is soiled with hand cream or sebum, don't leave it as it is (because of possible
discoloration).
8) In order to maintain the dustproof and waterproof function of the camera, regularly clean the
rubber seals of the battery cover and interface cover to prevent hair, dust, or powder from getting
caught in them.
