CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE CAMERA k Do not hold the hot part for a long time i The camera may become warm during use. A low temperature burn may result if you hold the hot part for a long time. k Do not cover or wrap the camera in a cloth or blanket i It may generate heat and cause the casing to warp or cause a fire. k After using the camera in water, follow these steps to wash it. 1 Securely close the battery/card compartment cover. 2 Fill a shallow basin with fresh water, and immerse the camera for about 5 minutes. 3 Rotate the monitor unit several times. 4 Drain the camera completely, and use a dry cloth to wipe off any remaining moisture. k To maintain your camera's waterproof capability i It is recommended that the waterproof seal be replaced with a new one every year. (There is a charge for replacing it.) i For replacing the waterproof seal, please contact your dealer. CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE CARD CAUTION k Cautions concerning the card i Immediately after use, the card will be very hot. Before removing the card, turn off the camera and wait for the temperature to cool down. i Keep out of the reach of children. Young children may put the card in their mouth and choke or cause some other unexpected injury or accident. k Cautions when handling the cards i The cards are precision devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject them to strong forces or shocks. i Avoid using or storing the cards in places with extremely high or low temperatures, subject to direct sunlight, in a completely closed vehicle, near air conditioners or heaters, or in humid or dusty locations. i Avoid using or storing the cards in locations where strong static electrical charges or electrical noise can be easily generated. i Do not allow the edges of the cards to become contaminated with foreign materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry cloth. i Do not carry the cards in trouser pockets, as the cards may become damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may apply force. i Before using a new card or a card that was used in other equipment, be sure to format it using the camera. Please see the Instruction Manual for information regarding how to format the card. i When buying commercially available products, carefully read the instructions and warnings that come with the card. CAUTIONS CONCERNING THE CHARGER DANGER k Do not recharge a battery pack other than the specified battery pack i Recharging a dry-cell battery or other type of rechargeable battery may cause excess heat, combustion, or leakage, and cause a fire, injuries, burns, or damage to nearby objects. k Concerning the power cord i The voltage rating for the power cord supplied with this camera conforms to the standards of the country in which the camera was sold. k Do not get the charger wet i Make sure it does not get wet, as doing so may cause a fire or electric shock. i Do not use it in a bathroom. i If the charger gets wet, immediately unplug it from the power outlet and remove the battery pack. Then contact the place of purchase. If used while wet, it may cause a fire, electric shock, or an accident. WARNING k Cautions when plugging in the power cord i Securely plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. If the charger is used with the power cord not fully plugged in, heat may be generated and cause a fire. i Do not use if the power cord is damaged or cannot be correctly plugged into the power outlet. Using in this condition may cause a fire or electric shock. i Do not allow dust, etc., to build up on the power cord or power outlet. A build-up of dust may cause a short circuit or generate heat and cause a fire. Use a dry cloth to remove dust or dirt build-up after unplugging the cord from the power outlet. i When unplugging the power cord, be sure to hold the plug part and slowly pull it out of the power outlet. Pulling the cord portion may damage the power cord and cause a fire or electric shock. k Do not damage the power cord i Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not place the power cord near a heat source. Do not excessively bend the power cord, modify it, or secure it with staples. Doing so may damage the power cord and cause a fire or electric shock. i If the power cord is damaged, or if it does not plug properly into the charger or wall outlet, contact the place of purchase. k Cautions concerning the power cord i Do not leave the power cord plugged into an electrical outlet while the other end is not plugged into the charger. The loose end can cause electrocution if touched with wet hands or if handled by children. i Use only the supplied power cord. If a different power cord is used, it may be rated for a different current load, and that may cause a fire. i The supplied power cord is for exclusive use with the charger supplied with your camera. Do not use it with other devices, as doing so may cause a fire or electric shock. i Do not use a bundled power cord, as the heat generated may cause a fire. k Do not touch the power cord plug with wet hands i Doing so may cause an electric shock. CAUTION k Do not place on an unstable surface i If may fall, resulting in damage or injury. i If it falls and the body is damaged, remove the battery pack and contact the place of purchase. If used while damaged, it may cause a fire, electric shock, or other damage. k Other cautions i Use only the supplied or specified charger with your camera. i If a charger other than the one specified is used, it may damage the camera and cause a fire or electric shock. Use the supplied or specified charger only with the specified camera. Do not connect to other cameras, as doing so may result in damage. k Cautions during use and storage i Do not use or store close to a heat source (close to a stove or heater) or leave it exposed to direct sunlight, as doing so may result in defective operation or damage. Operating environment: i Temperature 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F) (charging) -20 to 60°C (-4 to 140°F) (storage) i Humidity 10 to 80% (charging and storage) i To avoid the danger of possible fire, be sure to remove the power cord from the power outlet before leaving home for a trip or if otherwise the devices will not be used for a long time. 2
