PRODUCT CARE

INTERNAL CONDENSATION ON LENS
The R4G-Lite is IP66 rated waterproof. The camera housing is water resistant and resistant to harsh outdoor elements. The only way condensation can get behind the lens is if the antenna is not screwed down tightly or if the DC plug on the bottom of the camera is not in place, if you are not using external power. If there is dirt or debris on the door seal, this can also effect the waterproof seal and allow water in the device. Follow instructions to alleviate this issue if need be:

• Pull the SD card out and let the camera sit for 3-4 days open, in an area where there is circulating air (fan or vent).
• Or place in a sealed container with rice for 24 hours to draw out the moisture.
• Clean the seal well with soap and water and tighten your antenna.
• Place back out in the field.

IF THE CAMERA HAS ACCIDENTALLY BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER

1. Open camera and immediately remove batteries and SD card.
2. Leave the camera open to dry out for 3-4 days. If you try to power on while the camera is still wet, it could destroy the module and computer board and ruin the camera. This will void the warranty.
