6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Screen: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for electronics screens. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• General Cleaning: Wipe the monitor body with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid moisture entering ports.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose to extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, charge batteries to approximately 50%.
• Storage: When not in use, store the monitor in its protective carrying case to prevent dust and damage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Monitor gets hot during operation: The monitor may generate heat during extended use, especially at high brightness settings. Try reducing the screen brightness to approximately 25% to mitigate heat generation. This can also help extend battery life.
• Headphone or USB-C ports are blocked by the mount: The design of the tilt arm may obstruct the headphone and USB-C ports located at the bottom of the unit. Consider using right-angle adapters for these ports if you need to use them while the monitor is mounted, or use a different mounting solution that attaches to the bottom thread without obstruction.
• Battery drains even when the monitor is powered off: If the battery remains connected to the monitor, it may draw a small amount of power even when the device is off. For prolonged storage or to prevent unexpected battery drain, disconnect the battery from the monitor when not in active use.
• No signal on screen: Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the camera and the monitor. Verify that the camera's HDMI output is active and configured correctly. Check that the monitor's input source is set to HDMI.
• Touchscreen unresponsive: Power cycle the monitor. If the issue persists, ensure the screen is clean and free of debris.
