108 / Precautions and care instructions
Monitor/data panel
• If the Digital-Modul-R is exposed to significant tem-
perature fluctuations, condensation can form on the
data panel/monitor. Wipe it carefully with a soft dry
cloth.
• If the Digital-Modul-R is very cold when switched on,
the data panel/monitor display will initially be slight-
ly darker than normal. As soon as the LCD element
warms up, the normal brightness is restored.
The monitor is manufactured using a high-precision
process. This ensures that, of the total of around
130,000 pixels, more than 99.995% work correctly
and only 0.005% remain dark or are always light.
However, this is not a malfunction and it does not
impair the reproduction of the picture. Cosmic radia-
tion (e.g. on flights) can cause pixel defects.
Condensation
If condensation has formed on or in the Digital-Modul-R,
you should switch it off and leave it to stand at room
temperature for around an hour. Once the camera tem-
perature has adjusted to room temperature, the con-
densation will disappear by itself.
Care instructions
For the Digital-Modul-R
• Unplug from the mains adapter before cleaning the
Digital-Modul-R.
• Only clean the Digital-Modul-R with a soft dry cloth.
Stubborn dirt should first of all be covered with a
well-thinned cleaning agent and then wiped off with
a dry cloth.
For the battery
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power
through internal chemical reactions. These reactions
are also influenced by the external temperature and
humidity. Very high or low temperatures reduce the life
of the battery.
• Remove the battery if you will not be using the
Digital-Modul-R for a long time. Otherwise, after
several weeks the battery could become totally dis-
charged, i.e. the voltage is significantly reduced, as
the Digital-Modul-R uses a low idle current (to save
the date) even when it is turned off. A totally dis-
charged battery cannot be recharged.
• Store the batteries only when they are fully dis-
charged. This condition, which is not the same as
being totally discharged, is reached when the display
2.2.6c appears in the data panel (1.21). For very
long storage periods, it should be charged up and
discharged again around once a year.
• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean
and freely accessible. Protect the contacts from
metal objects such as paper clips or pieces of jewel-
ry, which can cause short circuits. A short-circuited
battery can get very hot and cause severe burns.
• If a battery is dropped, check the housing and the
contacts immediately for any damage. Using a dam-
aged battery can damage the Digital-Modul-R.
• Batteries have only a limited service life.
• Take damaged batteries to a collection point to
ensure correct recycling.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as this can cause
them to explode.
