The germanium lens must be replaced immediately after damage is detected. Failure to do so
may allow water and other contaminants to enter the camera body, resulting in a possible loss
of camera function and severe damage to electronic components. Should water or other contam-
inants enter the camera housing, the camera must be returned to an authorized MSA repair fa-
cility. Do not operate the camera with a damaged germanium lens.
