Hot-plug precautions
Although FireWire devices can theoretically be hot-
plugged without powering down equipment, we 
strongly recommend turning the computer power off, 
before connecting a digital camera
 to it via a FireWire 
cable.
Static electricity or slight plug misalignment during 
insertion may short-circuit and damage components.
The physical ports may be damaged by excessive ESD 
(electrostatic discharge), when connected under pow-
ered conditions. It is good practice to ensure proper 
grounding of computer case and camera case to the 
same ground potential, before plugging the camera 
cable into the port of the computer. This ensures that 
no excessive difference of electrical potential exists 
between computer and camera.
Screw-lock precautions
Also, all AVT 1394b camera and cables have industrial 
screw-lock fasteners
, to insure a tight electrical con-
nection that is resistant to vibration and gravity.
We strongly recommend using only 1394b adapter 
cards with screw-locks.
Caution
a
Mount/dismount lenses and filters in a dust-free envi-
ronment
, and do not use compressed air (which can 
push dust into cameras and lenses).
Use  only  optical quality tissue/cloth if you must clean 
a lens or filter.
Ask your dealer if you are not familiar with these procedures.
