concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a  
fire.

lens surface and internal parts. To prevnt  
condensation in this case, first put the lens ito n  
airtight plastic bag before taking it from a cold to  
warm environment. Then take out the lens after it  
has warmed gradually. Do the same when taking  
the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.  
• Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in  
a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can  
cause the lens to malfunction.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
