Causes of condensation

Condensation takes place when the ambient temperature or humidity is changed as follows.

≥When this unit is brought inside from the cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.

≥When this unit is moved from an air-conditioned car to outside.

≥When a cold room has been warmed up quickly.

≥When cool wind from an air conditioner is directly blown onto this unit.

Helpful hint

If, for example, you have used this unit for recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag, remove as much of the air from inside the bag as possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for about an hour in the room so the temperature of the unit is close to the ambient temperature of the room, then use it.
