Appendix A

Cleaning the CCD Cover Glass

First, position the camera insert face up on a clean, stable surface. Use the Clean/Park menu option to move the CCD to its cleaning position. The camera may remain turned on during the cleaning procedure.

We recommend the use of e-wipe™ cleaning pads for the best results with the least eﬀort.

1.Tear open the foil package. With- draw the e-wipe by holding one end only. Do not touch the other end of the pad. Do not unfold the pad. Work quickly after opening the package or the methanol in the pad will absorb water vapor from the air and leave

water spots when used.

2.Tuck the untouched end of the e-wipe under the insert opening at one end of the CCD. Lay your thumb sideways across the pad as shown.

3.In a single continuous motion, wipe the pad along the length of the CCD cover glass. Use the side of the thumb to apply very gentle pressure on the pad as the cover glass is wiped.

4.Using one continuous J-stroke motion, slide the pad side- ways oﬀ the CCD cover glass. The solvent residue evaporates cleanly almost immediately, do not dry the CCD glass. Do not re-use the e-wipe pad.

After inspecting the CCD cover glass for any remaining residue or dust particles, use the Park command to move the CCD back to its parked position.
