About This Manual

Purpose of this manual

The purpose of this manual is to present a global description of how to operate the viewfinder. Consult the Operator's manual of your camera as required during and after the installation process.

This manual is an integral part of the service policy. It ensures that you will be able to install your viewfinder to meet the requirements of your environment. The manual provides first line service information so that suitably qualified service personnel can detect and repair faults, normally by module replacement.

Because of the complexity of some of the components, second line service can only be carried out at the specially equipped service centres and information concerning second line maintenance is not supplied in this manual.

Intended audience
