Installation Precautions - Panasonic WV-CW974 Mode D'emploi

Consumables
Parts having contacts such as the lens-drive motors,
cooling fan motor and slip-rings inside the camera are
subject to wear with time. Contact the nearest service
dealer about replacement and maintenance of such
parts.
Cleaning the camera
Turn off the camera and wipe it with a soft cloth. If the
camera is very dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft cloth
moistened with a weak solution of water and a neutral
kitchen detergent. Wring all excess liquid from the
cloth before wiping the camera. Next, wipe off all
remaining solution with a soft, dry cloth.
Contact a qualified service person before cleaning the
lenses. (Lenses do not move during cleaning.)
A dirty dome cover or lens causes deterioration of
picture quality. Use lens cleaning paper (like the type
available for cleaning eyeglasses or a camera lens) to
clean the lens.
The dome cover is particularly susceptible to damage.
Gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
