Please read the following carefully before attempting installation of
camera.
CMOS image sensors are easily damaged by static discharge. Do not
disassemble the camera housing.
Do not attempt to touch the internals of the camera with your bare hands.
Do not touch cover slip (over the chip) with your hand or have any object come
into contact with glass surface. Should dust stick to the cover slip, blow it off
gently with an air blower. (For dust stuck due to static electricity, ionized air is
recommended.)
It is best to use a smooth brush to clean the cover slip. Do this only when
absolutely necessary.
Do not expose to strong light (sunlight) for long periods.
Exposure to high temperature or humidity will affect the characteristics of the
camera. Avoid storage or usage under such conditions.
Do not subject the camera to too much mechanical shock.
The USB plug is not symmetrical. You must make sure that the cable plug is
facing the same way as the camera socket when you plug the cable into the
camera jack.
Do not disconnect the USB cable while the image acquisition software is
running.
