Cleaning the 60/40 Glass sheet 

 

This product contains a sheet of 60/40 glass please handle it with care.  

 

To avoid a risk of damage or injury please follow this instruction manual and use 

caution  when  transporting,  un-packing,  cleaning,  assembling  or  dis-assembling 

this part of the product. 

 

Datavideo  recommend  cleaning  the  glass  regularly  to  remove  dust  and  finger 

print  marks. This  will  ensure  the  best  image  quality  is  recorded when  the  camera  is  looking  through 

the glass.  

 

Never attempt to clean the glass whilst it is mounted in the prompter 

instead remove it carefully 

from the prompter by unscrewing the cross head screws at the top of the frame, clean the glass and 

then re-install it into the prompter frame. Handle the glass carefully using the cloth covered edges of 

the glass at all times. 

 

To retain the required qualities of the glass and to avoid scratching the glass during cleaning. 

 

Never use

 abrasive cloths, pads or abrasive based cleaning fluids on the glass.  

 

Never use

 cleaning fluids based on an acid or vinegar solution. 

 

Place  the  glass  on  a  soft,  stable,  dirt  and  lint 

free  work  surface  such  as  a  table  with  a  clean 

cloth  already  laid  out  on  it.  Then  use  a  second 

clean, lint free, soft cloth to clean the glass.  

 

Do not apply cleaning fluids to the glass directly, 

instead  apply  or  spray  a  small  amount  of  the 

cleaning  fluid  onto  the  cloth.  Proceed  to  clean 

the  glass  and  work  in  a  light  circular  motion  with  the  cloth.  Ensure  all  finger  marks  and  streaks  are 

gone before turning the glass over and repeating with the other side. 

 

Once  finished  re-install  the  glass  back  into  the  prompter  hood,  again  using  the  cloth  covered  edges 

only. 

Ensure the green circle sticker on the glass is facing you

 and the red circle sticker is facing 

the camera lens. Reseat/secure the camera hood if necessary.
