Transportation:

 Jordy comes with a convenient carrying case and control

console pouch for transport. To prevent the unit from being
accidentally dropped and damaged, always return the Jordy
to the carrying case while not in use.

 This product can be used as a portable device but it is

recommended you do not operate Jordy while walking,
running or driving because objects can appear closer than
they are. Please use care when connecting/disconnecting
cables and accessories or mounting the product in the
optional docking station.

Care & Maintenance:

 Always turn the power OFF on the Jordy when the system is

not in use via the Green Power button located on the
underside of the device.

 If needed, clean the surface of the Jordy with a soft slightly

damp cloth or an electrostatic dusting wipe. DO NOT use
liquid cleaners on the plastic surfaces. No additional methods
of sterilization or cleaning are recommended or required.

 IMPORTANT: Always make sure your Jordy viewing

screen, lens and front of Jordy optics are cleaned with the
lens cloth provided. If any of these components are dirty it
may result in a blurry or fuzzy image.

Susceptibility to Interference:

There may be temporary performance degradation of the Jordy
when subjected to a strong magnetic and/or radio-frequency
field, electrostatic discharge or transient electrical noise. An
electrostatic discharge (caused by static electricity) may cause
image distortion. If this happens, switch the unit OFF and try
moving the unit to a different location.
