Getting Ready
1. The camera head uses precision components. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or severe impact.
2. The image displayed on the monitor may be affected when it is used near equipment generating strong electromagnetic
waves. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the actual image being recorded. To avoid interference during
operation, keep the system far from any source of electromagnetic waves.
3. When mounting the camera head on a tripod, attach it by using the DP-TRAD tripod adapter, which is separately available.
4. Do not use the camera in areas where it may be subjected to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or
vibrations. (For the operating environment conditions, see chapter 8, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 22.)
5. The camera head needs to be calibrated periodically (every 3 months as reference) for the level variations caused by the
influence of cosmic rays. For the calibration method, refer to the Camera Calibration Wizard in the Online Help in the DP-
BSW software.

Maintenance and Storage
1. To clean the lenses and other glass components, simply blow dirt away using a commercially available blower and wipe
gently using a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
If a lens is stained with fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe it with gauze slightly moistened with commercially available
absolute alcohol.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully.
Be sure to keep it away from open flames or potential sources of electric sparks -- for example, electrical equipment
that is being switched on or off.
Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated room.
2. Parts other than the glass components should be cleaned by wiping with a clean cloth. Do not use organic solvents to
remove major stains. Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a neutral detergent solution.
3. Do not disassemble any part of the camera as this could result in malfunction or reduced performance.
