3. Insert a new silica gel bag to the camera module and fasten the camera’s cover within 2
minutes of opening the silica gel bag package.
IMPORTANT:
1. The silica gel loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is opened. To prevent the lens
from fogging up, replace the silica gel bag every time when you open the camera and
conceal the gel bag in the camera within two minutes of exposing to the open air.
2. For each newly replaced silica gel bag, allow it to absorb moisture for at least 5 hours
before operating the camera.
