The LCD Touch BacPac also comes with a straight-arm extension, which provides a full range of motion when a deeper backdoor is attached to the housing.

Important Safety and Handling Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock or other injury or damage to the LCD Touch BacPac or other property.HANDLING
The LCD Touch BacPac contains sensitive components. Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate or paint the LCD Touch BacPac. Do not insert foreign objects into the port opening on the LCD Touch BacPac. Do not use the LCD Touch BacPac if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured or harmed by water. The LCD Touch BacPac screen is made of glass. Glass may break if dropped or receives a substantial impact, or is crushed, bent or deformed. If glass chips or cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove broken glass. Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered.
KEEPING THE LCD SCREEN CLEAN
Clean the LCD screen immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminant that may cause staining, such as ink, dye, makeup, dirt, food, oil or lotion. To clean the LCD screen, use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not allow moisture to enter port openings. Do not use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia or abrasives to clean the LCD Touch BacPac.
AVOID WATER AND WET LOCATIONS
Do not use the LCD Touch BacPac in rain or near washbasins or other wet locations without protecting it. Do not spill food or liquid onto the LCD Touch BacPac. If the LCD Touch BacPac gets wet, turn off the camera and disconnect the screen before cleaning. Allow the screen to dry thoroughly before using it again. Do not dry the LCD Touch BacPac with an external heat source such as
a microwave oven or hair dryer. Damage to the LCD Touch BacPac caused by contact with liquid is not covered under the warranty.
ALTITUDE AND TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Increases or decreases in altitude and temperature can cause the Touch Backdoor to bulge slightly when the housing is sealed closed (with or without the camera inside). Where possible, leave the door open until you are ready to use it.
USING CONNECTORS AND PORTS
Never force a connector into a port; check for obstructions on the port. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable ease there may be a mismatch. Be sure the connector matches the port and that connections line up.
TEMPERATURE
Low or high temperature conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the LCD Touch BacPac to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using the LCD Touch BacPac, as condensation may form on or within LCD Touch BacPac. When using the LCD Touch BacPac or charging battery, the device may get warm. The exterior of the LCD Touch BacPac functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to cooler air outside.
