i 1 Getting Ready 1. The camera system uses precision components. Handle it with care and avoid subjecting it to a sudden or severe impact. 2. The image displayed on the LCD monitor may be affected when used near equipment generating strong electromagnetic waves. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the actual image being shot. To avoid interference during operation, keep the unit far from any source of electromagnetic waves. 3. When mounting the camera on a tripod, be sure to hold the camera box while turning the tripod clamping knob. 4. Do not use the camera in areas where it may be subject to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity, dust or vibrations. (For operating environment conditions, see Section 6, “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 22.)

2 Maintenance and Storage

1. Clean all glass components by wiping gently with gauze. To remove fingerprints or oil smudges, wipe with gauze slightly moistened with a mixture of ether (70%) and alcohol (30%) or EE System Cleaner (Olympus EE-6310). Since solvents such as ether, alcohol and EE-6310 are highly flammable, they must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep these chemicals away from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks --- for example, electrical equipment that is being switched on or off. Also remember to always use these chemicals only in a well-ventilated room. 2. Parts other than the glass components should be cleaned by wiping with a clean cloth. Do not use organic solvent to remove major stains. Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a neutral detergent solution. 3. To avoid any degradation in performance, do not attempt to disassemble or modify any part of the system. 4. When not using the camera system, keep it covered with the provided dust cover.

CAUTION The camera box incorporates a rechargeable lithium battery used for data back-up. Nevertheless, if the camera box is not used for about 2 days without the AC adapter connected, data (such as date/ time) may be lost. Because the camera box incorporates a lithium battery, be sure to check local regulations for proper disposal procedures when disposing if it.

3 Caution

If the attachment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the safety of the user may be imperiled. In addition, the attachment may also be damaged. Always operate the equipment as outlined in this instruction manual.

The following symbols are used to set off text in this instruction manual. : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions in the warning could result in bodily harm to the user and/or damage to equipment (including objects in the vicinity of the equipment). # : Indicates that failure to follow the instructions could result in damage to equipment. } : Indicates commentary (for ease of operation and maintenance).
