2.3 Safety instructions
The following safety instructions must be observed when handling the VOS2000-3522 lens.
Application conditions
• Never leave the lens in the sun or point it directly at the sun. This can cause smoke or fires.
• Keep the sun out of the image field when taking backlit shots. There is a risk of fire.
• Never look directly at the sun or bright light through the lens. This can permanently impair vision or
lead to blindness.
• Do not leave the lens in the sun or under bright light. Such strong thermal stress can cause internal
malfunctions in the lens.
• Avoid stains and dust on the lens, otherwise image processing errors may occur. Always change the
lens quickly and in a dust-free environment.
• Damage may result in sharp-edged glass splinters. There is a risk of injury.
• Observe the maximum torque when tightening the screws.
Transport and storage
• Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation on or in the lens. Store the lens in an airtight
bag before moving it to a much warmer or colder location. Unpack the lens as soon as it has adjusted
to the new temperature.
• Mold may form if the lens is stored in a humid environment. If you do not use the lens for a long time,
store it in a cool and dry place.
• When storing the lens, always attach the lens caps to prevent dust formation. Also, remove any dust
from the lens caps before attaching them.
