EQUIPMENT CARE
• Keep all equipment and accessories out of the reach of small children.
• | Do not place heavy objects on the equipment. |
• | Do not use the battery except as specified. |
• | Use only the battery type specified for use with the CF digital back. |
• | Remove the battery when cleaning the back or if you intend to leave it un- |
| used for a long period. |
• | If you use a spare (standard or rechargeable) battery be particularly careful |
| when storing. There is a potential fire risk if the contacts are short circuited |
| across a conductive object (such as keys in a pocket, for example). |
• | Take particular care when working with strobe / studio flash units to prevent |
| damage to equipment and personal injury. |
• | Do not attempt to open the CF digital back. |
•Always replace the protective sensor filter cover when the digital back is not mounted on a camera.
•Do not touch the exposed sensor filter with your fingers.
•Ensure that the databus connections are not damaged or soiled in any way.
•Keep all foreign objects out of the CF digital back openings.
•Keep the original shipping boxes for storage.
•Keep your CF digital back and all other computer equipment away from moisture. If your CF digital back becomes wet, disconnect from power and allow it to dry before attempting to operate again.
•Never cover the ventilation openings on a CF digital back when in use.
•Never try to remove the glass IR filter from the front of the sensor; this will probably ruin the sensor. If dust manages to get between the sensor and IR filter, please contact your Hasselblad dealer for assistance.
•Avoid frequent and severe temperature changes and be particularly careful
in humid environments. Allow the equipment to acclimatize whenever pos- sible before use. Try to ensure the storage conditions in such environments are as dry as possible.
•Prevent dust and grit from getting into your equipment. In coastal areas take measures to protect your equipment from sand and salt water spray.
•Avoid physical shocks to the CF digital back. Some form of protective case or camera bag is advised for transportation.
•Hasselblad equipment is much sought after and you should take obvious steps to prevent theft. Never leave it visible in an unattended car, for exam- ple. Separate and specific camera insurance cover should be considered by professional users.
