the unit be used within a temperature range of 0 °C
to 45 °C)

• Damp or dust place

• Places exposed to rain

• Places subject to strong vibration

•

Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radia­tion such as radio or TV transmitters.

Handling of the unit

• Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with
a blower.

• Use a dry soft cloth to clean the body.If it is very
dirty,use a cloth dampened with a small quantity of
