(3) Protection circuit
A double protection circuit protects this camera's thermoelectric cooling device. If the
heat dissipater becomes abnormally hot, the protection circuit sets off a buzzer alarm
from the camera while simultaneously cutting the current supply to Peltier element.
When the protection circuit operates like this, immediately turn off the power switch.
Then locate and remove the cause of the overheating and restart.
