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.
