⚠️ Do not over-clean the lens: Frequent lens cleaning more than once a month can damage the lens. Only use it when reading errors occur.
Storage Environment: The Biggest Factor in Extending Lifespan
| Environmental Factor | Recommended State | Impact on Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature | 10〜25℃ | High temperatures degrade mechanisms and deform circuit boards |
| Humidity | 30〜50%RH | High humidity causes mold and circuit board corrosion |
| Dust | Regularly clean vents | Dust can soil lenses and degrade motors |
| When powered off | Unplug from outlet | Prevents circuit board degradation due to standby power |

What if errors persist after lens cleaning?
Causes other than the lens (scratched discs, degraded mechanisms) may be at fault. Please contact Aestiquo support or a repair specialist.
