Chapter 1: Read this first For safe use of this product • Avoid prolonged contact with the camera, AC adapter, and cradle while charging. The camera and cradle become hot during charging. Also the camera becomes hot during continued use with the specified AC adapter. Prolonged contact with the camera during use could result in low temperature burns. • Do not use or store the camera for a long time in an environment where there is a lot of dust, dampness, smoke, or steam. This could result in fire or electric shock. • Do not cover the flash with your fingers when using the flash. Do not touch the flash during firing or after successive firing. Failure to do so could result in burns. • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the camera. Such action could lead to electric shock or injury. • Do not let any water or other foreign objects get inside the camera. Should the camera be dropped in water, or water get into the internal parts, it could result in fire or electric shock. Remove the battery immediately and contact your nearest dealer or Olympus service center. Caution • Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell or noise, stop using the camera immediately. Remove the battery taking care to avoid burns, and contact your nearest dealer or Olympus service center. Failure to do so could result in fire or burns. (Remove the battery outdoors, away from anything combustible, and avoid touching it with your bare hands.) • Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This could result in electric shock. • Do not touch the cradle's camera connector. If you accidentally press the metal cover of the cradle's camera connector, the contacts of the connector may be revealed. Should you touch the contacts, it could result in corrosion of the contacts. • Be careful with the strap when carrying the camera as it can easily catch on stray objects, causing injury or damage. 13
