Cleaning and storing
Cleaning the main unit
≥ Remove the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet before cleaning.
≥ Do not use benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Using benzine or thinner may cause deformation or peeling off of the paint of the main unit.
≥ Wipe the main unit with a soft and clean cloth. For heavy dirt, wipe with a cloth soaked in kitchen detergent diluted with water, and then with a dry cloth.
≥ When using a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions that came with the cloth.
Cautions for storage
Remove the battery from the main unit when storing. Store them in a place where humidity is low and temperature is relatively constant.
When storing the unit, it is recommended that you place a desiccant (silica gel) in with it.
≥
Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C
≥
Recommended relative humidity: 40% to 60%
∫ Main unit
≥
Wrap in a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting inside.
∫ Battery
≥
The battery life shortens where the temperature is extremely high or low.
≥
Storing in a place where there is heavy oil smoke or dust may lead to malfunctions due to rust on terminal connectors, etc.
≥ Do not let the battery terminal contact a metal object (such as a necklace or hairpin). Short circuit may occur between terminals and it may lead to heat
generation. Touching on a heated part may cause severe burns.
≥
Store the battery with electrically discharged. For long-term storage, it is recommended to charge the battery at least once a year and use it up
completely on the unit before storing it again.
≥
Remove dust and other debris that gather on the contacts of the battery.
∫ Memory card
≥
Do not allow dirt, water, or other foreign objects to get into the contacts on the back of the card.
≥ If you remove it from the unit, be sure to put it in its case.
≥
Do not place SD cards in the following areas:
j
Where corrosive gases, etc., may be generated
j In places exposed to direct sunlight, or places with high temperatures such as near heating devices
j
Where there is excessive moisture or dust
j
Locations susceptible to significant difference in temperature (condensation can occur.)
j Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
