damage the monitor. Close the LCD monitor.

To clean the lens

Blow it with a blower brush, then wipe gently 
with lens cleaning paper.

NOTES:

Avoid using strong cleaning agents such as 
benzine or alcohol.

Cleaning should be done only after the battery 
pack has been removed or other power units have 
been disconnected.

Mould may form if the lens is left dirty.

When using a cleaner or chemically treated cloth 
refer to the cautions of each product.
