Maintenance
Turn off the power before performing any maintenance.

the body with it, and then use a clean cloth to remove the
detergent.

Regular Inspection (Maintenance)
Under normal environment, dust will accumulate on the

camera recorder. Check and replace the fan after every 9000
hours (suggested guideline).
You can check the usage time of the fan in the [Others] menu
B [System Information] B [Fan Hour]. (A Page 95)
If the fan is used for more than 9000 hours without
replacement, AFAN MAINTENANCE REQUIREDB will be
displayed every time you turn on the power.
