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:

– Where corrosive gases, etc., may be generated

– In places exposed to direct sunlight, or places with high temperatures such as near heating devices

– Where there is excessive moisture or dust

– Locations susceptible to significant difference in temperature (condensation can occur.)

– Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
