Equipped with various LEDs, the CrimeCam Examiner is a powerful tool that
can be used for both forensic and scientific applications. However, before
using the CrimeCam, one should be familiar with basic safety issues, includ-
ing those regarding alternate light sources (ALS).
1. Always wear the provided safety glasses. Think of the LEDs on the
CrimeCam Examiner as ALS, and make sure when operating the Crime
Cam, everybody in the vicinity wears appropriate eye protection. The kit
includes three pairs of safety glasses. If there are more people in the
area, you will need additional safety glasses.
2. Never point the ringflash into a person's eyes or flash near the eyes.
3. Minimize the amount of time you expose anyone to the CrimeCam
Examiner LEDs. As with all high intensity lights, longterm exposure may
be hazardous. Do not turn on the ringflash until you are ready to take the
picture, and turn it off when you are done. This will also extend your
battery life.
4. Do not attempt to remove or disassemble the ringflash, LADC-58L or
ringflash adapters from the camera. The ringflash was designed for this
camera only, and you risk damaging the threads.
5. Do not use the CrimeCam Examiner in a wet environment, neither the
camera nor the ringflash is waterproof. Store the CrimeCam Examiner in a
dry, cool environment and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
6. Remove batteries from the ringflash and camera if not used for more
than two weeks to prevent battery leakage.
7. When replacing ringflash batteries, replace all four at once. Do not mix
old ones with new ones.
8. Do not use any chemicals on the CrimeCam Examiner. To clean the
camera, filter or ringflash use a soft cloth.
