Storage precautions
Before storing the unit, remove its battery.
Select a location with minimal moisture and a
relatively constant temperature to store the unit.
[
Recommended ambient temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C
(59 °F to 77 °F)]
[Recommended relative humidity: 40 % to 60 %]
Unit
Wrap the unit in a soft cloth to protect it from dust
and dirt.
Avoid places exposed to the direct sunlight to
keep this unit as the exterior parts and LCD
screen may be damaged.
Battery
The service life of the battery will be shortened
if the battery is kept where the temperature is
extremely high or extremely low.
Storing the unit in a location with high
concentrations of oily smoke or dust may cause
the connectors to become corroded and other
trouble to occur.
Ensure that the battery terminals are not
brought into contact with any metal objects
(such as necklaces or hairpins). Otherwise,
the terminals may be shorted and generate
heat which could cause burns if touched.
When the battery is to be stored for a prolonged
period, it is recommended that you charge it once
a year, use the battery in the unit until its charge
is used up, and then return it to storage.
P2 card, SD card
After removing the P2 cards from the unit, always
remember to cover their terminals with the
dedicated caps to keep sand and dust away from
the connector areas. Keep the P2 cards in their
protective cases when storing them or carrying
them around.
After removing the SD cards from the unit,
always remember to put them in their protective
cases.
Do not store the cards wherever there are
corrosive gases in the atmosphere.
Do not leave the cards inside vehicles or in
places exposed to direct sunlight or where the
temperature will be high.
Do not leave the cards in places where the
humidity level is high or where there is a great
deal of dust.
