Care and Maintenance

1Cleaning the System

Use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt from the DS-L1, the remote controller, and the cables.

Before cleaning the DS camera head, first attach the C mount cap. Then use a soft cloth to wipe away dirt.

Use a blower to blow away dirt inside the DS camera head mount.

When doing so, be sure not to touch the glass filter on the front of the CCD. If you do touch the glass filter, or if dirt cannot be removed from it, contact your nearest Nikon representative and have them clean it.

Do not use organic solvents (e.g., alcohol, ether, or paint thinner) to clean the coated, plastic or printed parts. Doing so could result in discoloration or in separation of the printing.

2Storage

Turn off the power when the system is not in use.

If the system will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

Do not store the system in an environment that is hot, humid, dirty or dusty.

Attach the C mount cap when storing the system.
