Maintenance
Do not use benzine or thinner for cleaning.
• Benzine and thinner may deform the unit and cause the paint to peel off.
• Remove any DC input and disconnect the power cable from the outlet before cleaning.
• Wipe the unit using a soft clean cloth. In the case of stubborn dirt, wipe off the dirt using a cloth dampened with a solution of
a neutral detergent and water and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved when droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated room. It
occurs when the unit or a card is moved between places where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or when, for instance:
• It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or to a room immediately after heating of the room.
• It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a very hot or humid location.
When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the power im-
mediately.
Store the unit in a location where the humidity is low and the temperature is relatively constant.
Recommended ambient temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)
Recommended relative humidity: 40% to 60%
Unit
• Wrap the unit in a soft cloth to protect it from dust.
• Do not place the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight, as the finish and LCD screen may be damaged.
P2 cards and SD memory cards
• After removing a P2 memory card from the unit, be sure to attach the card cap to protect the card connector from sand and
dust. Then, place the card in its case before storing or transporting it.
• After removing a microP2 memory card or SD memory card from the unit, be sure to place it in its case.
• Do not leave cards in locations where corrosive gases are present.
• Do not leave cards in automobiles, locations exposed to direct sunlight, or other locations where the temperature will become
high.
• Do not leave cards in high humidity or excessively dusty locations.
