Tel.: 631-547-4200 FCC/ISED RF Exposure Statement The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This product has been tested and found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website. Notices for Customers in Europe Hereby, Nikon Corporation declares that the radio equipment type D3500 is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: http://imaging.nikon.com/support/pdf/DoC_N1718.pdf. Notice for Customers in Singapore Trade Name: Model: D3500 This device complies with radio-frequency regulations. The content of certification labels not affixed to the device is given below. Complies with IMDA Standards DA103423 Security Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur if security is not enabled: • Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information. • Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due to the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled. • Unsecured networks: Connecting to open networks may result in unauthorized access. Use secure networks only. A Certificates

Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction
Note that simply being in possession of material that has been digitally copied or reproduced
by means of a scanner, digital camera, or other device may be punishable by law.
Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced
Do not copy or reproduce paper money, coins, securities, government bonds, or
local government bonds, even if such copies or reproductions are stamped “Sample.”
The copying or reproduction of paper money, coins, or securities which are
circulated in a foreign country is prohibited.
Unless the prior permission of the government has been obtained, the copying or
reproduction of unused postage stamps or post cards issued by the government is
prohibited.
The copying or reproduction of stamps issued by the government and of certified
documents stipulated by law is prohibited.
Cautions on certain copies and reproductions
The government has issued cautions on copies or reproductions of securities issued

or coupon tickets, except when a minimum of necessary copies are to be provided
for business use by a company. Also, do not copy or reproduce passports issued by
the government, licenses issued by public agencies and private groups, ID cards,
and tickets, such as passes and meal coupons.
Comply with copyright notices
Under copyright law, photographs or recordings of copyrighted works made

Exceptions apply to personal use, but note that even personal use may be restricted
in the case of photographs or recordings of exhibits or live performances.
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting memory cards or other data storage
devices does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can
sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available
software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring
the privacy of such data is the user’s responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person,
erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then
completely refill it with images containing no private information (for example,
pictures of empty sky). Care should be taken to avoid injury when physically
destroying data storage devices. Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for
preset manual white balance.
Before discarding the camera or transferring ownership to another person, you
should also use the
Reset all settings
option in the camera setup menu to delete
network settings and other personal information.

FCC/ISED RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This product
has been tested and found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.

Security
Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely connect
for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur
if security is not enabled:
• Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user
IDs, passwords, and other personal information.
• Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter
data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due to the design of wireless
networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is
enabled.
• Unsecured networks: Connecting to open networks may result in unauthorized
access. Use secure networks only.
