„ Condensation
“Condensation” is the formation of small drops of water on the inside or outside of this recorder when steam in the air changes to
liquid when it is brought from a cold place suddenly into a warm place. If the recorder is used with condensation, the camera could
not take clear images or the recorder could be broken down.
Condensation tends to occur when
* This recorder is brought from a ski slope into a heated place.
* This recorder is brought from a cooled room or car compartment into a hot open air.
Measures to counter condensation
When this recorder has to be brought from a cold place suddenly into a warm place, place the recorder in a plastic bag and airtightly
seal the bag beforehand. Then, leave the recorder as it is in the warm place for about an hour, and then take it out when the recorder
is warmed up to the ambient temperature.
If condensation occurs
Turn OFF the power supply, and leave this recorder for about an hour until the condensation disappears. After confirming no
condensation, start using the recorder.
Note with care that if the recorder is used particularly with the condensation left on the inside of the camera lens, the recorder could
not record clear images.
„ Carrying
Do not sit down on a chair or the like with this recorder in the rear pocket of your trousers or skirt, or the recorder could be broken
down or damaged.
„ Life of the O-rings
The waterproof function of this recorder and camera head is maintained by 4 O-rings within the camera head. The life of these
O-rings depends on how the recorder is used. However, in order to reliably maintain the waterproof function, it is advisable to
replace the O-rings at a cycle of once a year.
The replacement can be handled for a charge by ELMO USA Service Department only.
