Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Cleaning the Camera
To keep your camera at its best, you should clean it thoroughly several
times a year. Before you perform any maintenance on the camera, be
sure to read the “Safety Instructions” on page 5. Then, follow these
guidelines.
❏ Be sure to turn the camera off before cleaning.
❏ Use a clean, dry cloth to keep the camera free of dust.
❏ Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
❏ If necessary, clean the battery contacts with a dry cloth.
Storing the Camera

remove the battery and store it at a low temperature in a dry location.
This prevents damage to the camera from battery leaks or corrosion.

locations.

dashboard
