Rolera Bolt  USER MANUAL

CHAPTER 4 

CARING FOR YOUR CAMERA  

The Rolera Bolt camera requires no regular maintenance except occasional external cleaning of the CMOS 

window (the glass window between the camera sensor and the microscope or lens). 

Cleaning the CMOS window: 

CAUTION — The camera’s CMOS sensor, and circuits are sensitive to static discharge. 

Ensure you are using a static strap or are completely grounded at all times to release 

any static energy before you clean the CMOS window.  

CAUTION  — Do not use acetone.

■

Use clean forced air (available at stores that sell cameras and computer cleaning supplies) to dust 

the CMOS window. 

■

If the image still appears dirty, gently wipe the face of the CMOS window with a small amount of 

optical grade isopropyl alcohol and lens paper. 

■

Apply forced air again to remove any loose particles.
