Pre ca u t io n s  
Storing the Memory Stick Camera Module  
• When you are not using the Memory Stick Camera Module, remove it  
from the CLIÉ handheld, and store it in the supplied hard case.  
• Carrying your CLIÉ handheld with the Memory Stick Camera Module  
inserted may damage both the camera and the Memory Stick slot of the  
CLIÉ handheld.  
Places to avoid with the Memory Stick Camera  
Module  
Avoid the following situations both when using or storing the Memory  
Stick Camera Module:  
• Extremely hot places  
Car interiors, for example, may become extremely hot in direct sunlight.  
If the Memory Stick Camera Module is left inside, it may be damaged.  
• Direct sunlight or heat-generating equipment  
• Sandy places.  
Do not expose the Memory Stick Camera Module to sand or dust. Such  
conditions may damage the Memory Stick Camera Module beyond  
possibility of repair.  
• Facing the sun  
Allowing the lens to face the sun for extended periods can damage the  
Memory Stick Camera Module. Avoid this when leaving the Memory  
Stick Camera Module outside or near a window.  
On operation  
• Do not lay any objects on top of the Memory Stick Camera Module.  
• Avoid forcing the Memory Stick Camera Module to change temperature  
rapidly. Extreme temperature changes can cause moisture to condense  
inside the camera, and using the camera with condensed moisture inside  
can damage it. When you must take the camera between temperature  
extremes, such as taking it from a cold outdoor setting into a heating  
building, do not turn the camera on immediately. Give the moisture time  
to evaporate.  
20  
 
The lens  
Do not touch the lens of the Memory Stick Camera Module.  
On handling CD-ROM discs  
For the safety of data recorded on the disc, note the following.  
• Do not attach paper or anything else to  
the disc, and do not scratch its surface.  
• When you hold the disc, do not touch  
the unlabeled side (playback side).  
• Do not store the disc in dusty places, in direct sunlight, near heat-  
generating equipment, or in a humid area.  
• Store the disc inside its case.

Cle a n in g  
Cleaning the Memory Stick Camera Module  
To clean the Memory Stick Camera Module, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.  
If more aggressive cleaning is necessary, use a soft cloth lightly moistened  
with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a thinner, benzine, or alcohol,  
which can damage the camera's finish.  
Cleaning the lens  
To clean the lens of the Memory Stick Camera Module, use a blower brush  
or a soft brush.  
Cleaning the CD-ROM disc  
Fingerprints or dust may cause errors when the disc is read. To clean the
