Maintenance

• Cleaning the Lens/Sensor: Periodically inspect the internal lens and sensor for dust or debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a specialized air blower to gently clean these components. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the lens.
• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the ports or openings.
• Storage: When not in use, store the Wolverine Titan in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it covered to prevent dust accumulation.
• Film Adapters: Keep the film adapters clean and free of dust or residue to ensure smooth feeding of films and slides.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on:

Ensure the USB power adapter is securely connected to both the device and a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet or USB port if available. Verify the USB cable is not damaged.

Image appears blurry or out of focus:

Check that the film or slide is correctly inserted into the adapter and fully seated. Ensure the adapter is pushed completely into the converter. Clean the internal lens and sensor if necessary.

Colors are incorrect or washed out:

Verify that the correct film type and mode (Negative/Slide, Color/B&W) is selected on the device. Use the exposure and color correction settings in the menu to adjust the image. Ensure the film/slide is clean and free of dust or fingerprints.

Cannot save images to SD card:

Ensure an SD card is properly inserted and clicked into place. Check if the SD card is full; if so, transfer images to a computer or use a new card. Verify the SD card is not write-protected (check the small switch on the side of the card). Try formatting the SD card through the device's menu (this will erase all data on the card).

Film/slide not feeding smoothly:

Ensure the film or slide is clean and free of bends or damage. Verify you are using the correct adapter for the film type. Clean the adapter and the film slot if there is any debris.
