Cleaning the 60/40 Glass

This product contains a sheet of 60/40 glass please handle it with care. To avoid a risk of damage or injury please follow this instruction manual and use caution when transporting, unpacking, cleaning, assembling or disassembling this part of the product. Datavideo recommends cleaning the glass regularly to remove dust and finger print marks. This will ensure the best image quality is recorded when the camera is looking through the glass.  Never attempt to clean the glass whilst it is mounted instead remove it carefully, clean the glass, and then re-install it into the hood. Handle the glass carefully using the cloth-covered edges of the glass at all times. To retain the required qualities of the glass and to avoid scratching the glass during cleaning.

• Never use abrasive cloths, pads or abrasive-based cleaning fluids on the glass.
• Never use cleaning fluids based on an acid or vinegar solution.

Place the glass on a soft, stable, dirt and lint-free work surface such as a table with a clean cloth already laid out on it. Then use a second clean, lint-free, soft cloth to clean the glass. Do not apply cleaning fluids to the glass directly, instead apply or spray a small amount of the cleaning fluid onto the cloth. Proceed to clean the glass and work in a light circular motion with the cloth. Ensure all finger marks and streaks are gone before turning the glass over and repeating with the other side.

Once finished re-install the glass back into the hood, again using the cloth covered edges only. Ensure the green circle sticker on the glass is facing you and the red circle sticker is facing the camera lens. Reseat/secure the camera hood if necessary.
