Maintenance
O
The unit has a precision-made construction inside which is designed to deliver a high
performance. Take care to conduct proper maintenance in order to keep the unit in perfect
working order for many years to come. Sophisticated technology and equipment are required
to replenish the oil, replace the parts or adjust the electrical components. Consult your dealer
as to when these steps need to be taken.
O
Failure to adhere to the maintenance and inspection routine, which involves removing the dirt
and dust from inside, replenishing the lubricating oil and replacing the worn parts (such as
heads), will make it impossible for the unit to produce quality pictures and proper recordings.
It will also shorten the unit’s service life. Ensure that the unit is maintained and inspected well
ahead of time.
Cleaning the heads
When the heads need to be cleaned, use the AJ-CL12LP cleaning cassette. Follow the handling
instructions accompanying the cleaning cassette since the video heads may be damaged if it is
used incorrectly.

Wiping the lens may leave scratches on it. Use an air blower or a brush with soft bristles to
blow or brush away the dirt or dust which may have accumulated on the lens surface.

If grease or fingerprints have been left on the lens, use a lens cleaner available from a camera
shop, and wipe the lens starting from its center. Make circular motions and work toward the
edges.
Ensure that droplets of water will not find their way to the lens when shooting in rainy or snowy
conditions.
Once the lens has been removed from the camera, attach the lens cap to prevent dust and dirt
accumulating on the inside of the lens.
