Elmo SUV-CAM manual Introduction

Introduction (Continued)

„Condensation

“Condensation” is the formation of small drops of water on the inside or outside of this recorder when steam in the air changes to liquid when it is brought from a cold place suddenly into a warm place. If the recorder is used with condensation, the camera could not take clear images or the recorder could be broken down.

Condensation tends to occur when

*This recorder is brought from a ski slope into a heated place.

*This recorder is brought from a cooled room or car compartment into a hot open air.

Measures to counter condensation

When this recorder has to be brought from a cold place suddenly into a warm place, place the recorder in a plastic bag and airtightly seal the bag beforehand. Then, leave the recorder as it is in the warm place for about an hour, and then take it out when the recorder is warmed up to the ambient temperature.

If condensation occurs

Turn OFF the power supply, and leave this recorder for about an hour until the condensation disappears. After confirming no condensation, start using the recorder.

Note with care that if the recorder is used particularly with the condensation left on the inside of the camera lens, the recorder could not record clear images.

„Carrying

Do not sit down on a chair or the like with this recorder in the rear pocket of your trousers or skirt, or the recorder could be broken down or damaged.

„Life of the O-rings

The waterproof function of this recorder and camera head is maintained by 4 O-rings within the camera head. The life of these O-rings depends on how the recorder is used. However, in order to reliably maintain the waterproof function, it is advisable to replace the O-rings at a cycle of once a year.

The replacement can be handled for a charge by ELMO USA Service Department only.
