Transportation

Battery

The Axis product uses a 3.0 V BR1632 lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). Under normal conditions, this battery will last for a minimum of five years. Low battery power affects the operation of the RTC, causing it to reset at every power-up. When the battery voltage is low, a log message will appear in the product’s server report.

CAUTION

Do not replace the battery yourself. Contact Axis support if the log message requests a battery change. Lithium coin cell 3.0 V batteries contain 1,2-dimethoxyethane; ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (EGDME), CAS no. 110-71-4.

Dome cover

Be careful not to scratch, damage, or leave fingerprints on the dome cover because this could decrease image quality. If possible, keep the protective plastic on the dome cover until the installation is complete.
Do not clean a dome cover that looks clean to the eye and never polishes the surface. Excessive cleaning could damage the surface.
For general cleaning of the dome cover, it is recommended to use a non-abrasive, solvent-free neutral soap or detergent mixed with pure water and a soft, clean cloth. Rinse well with pure lukewarm water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots.
Never use harsh detergents, gasoline, benzene, acetone, or similar chemicals.
Avoid cleaning the dome cover in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures.
