1.1.  Cleaning the sensor 
IDT recommends that the sensor NOT be manipulated in any fashion. Clean the optical 
surfaces with filtered, compressed air and glass cleaner or distilled water. Use a cotton swab 
or lens paper. Do not use alcohol or other solvents as these may damage the optical coating 
and cements. 
 
1.2. Laser 
Do not focus a laser beam on the sensor directly or by reflection, it can cause permanent 
damage to the sensor. Any laser powerful enough to produce localized heating at the surface 
of the sensor will cause damage, even if the camera power is off. Laser-damaged sensors 
are NOT covered by the warranty
 
1.3. Check cabling 
Ensure that all cable connections are properly secured and that there is not excessive strain 
on the cabling.
