iSTAR Handling Care
This imaging camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock.
• iSTAR is not waterproof and cannot be used under water. If you accidentally drop the camera into
water, promptly consult your Reseller. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth.
• Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric
motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as
a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
• Do not expose the camera to excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures
can cause the unit to malfunction.
• iSTAR contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself.
• Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens and touch screen. Do not use cleaners that contain
organic solvents to clean the camera’s body or lens. Do not breathe on the lens’s to clean them.
• If the unit is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the
lenses and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag
and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
• If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the
camera. If this occurs, remove the SD card and battery from the camera, and wait until the
condensation has evaporated before using the camera.
• If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera
in a cool, dry, well ventilated location.
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision technology with over 99.99%
active pixels, there might be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels
displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
• At low temperatures, the liquid crystal display response may be slower to respond. And at high
temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the display will return to normal at room
temperature.
USB Ports
• The large USB port is to allow external storage to be connected. At present, only USB memory sticks
up to 16GB are supported. Do not connected an external hard disk drive as it may cause damage to
iSTAR.
• The small USB port allows iSTAR to control other external devices supported by iSTAR.
