VI. Care and Maintenance
1
Cleaning Lenses and Filters
Do not let dust, fingerprint, etc. get on the lenses and filters. Dirt on the lenses, filters, etc. will
adversely affect the view of image. If any lens gets dirty, clean it as described below.
• Either brush away dust with a soft brush, or else gently wipe it off with a piece of gauze.
• Only if there are fingerprints or grease on a lens, dampen lightly a piece of soft, clean cotton
cloth, lens tissue, or gauze with absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl) and gently wipe off the dirt.
• Absolute alcohol is highly flammable. Be careful when handling it, when around open flames,
when turning the power switch on/off, etc.
• Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when using absolute alcohol.
2
Cleaning the Painted Parts, Plastic Parts, and Printed Parts
Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, or paint thinner on painted components, plastic
components, or printed components. Doing so could result in discoloration or in peeling of the
printed characters. For persistent dirt, dampen a piece of gauze with neutral detergent and wipe
gently.
