INTRODUCTION

Never use the AC adaptor to power any other device besides this camera. Never use any other AC adaptor besides the one that comes with this camera.

Never cover the AC adaptor with a quilt, blanket, or other cover while it is in use, and do not use it near a heater.

At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet and clean the area around the prongs of the plug. Dust build up around the prongs can create the danger of fire.

If the camera’s case should ever become cracked due to dropping it or otherwise subjecting it to rough treatment, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center.

Never use the camera inside of an aircraft or in any other areas where its use is prohibited. Doing so can result in an accident.

Physical damage and malfunction of this camera can cause the data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure to always keep backup copies of data by transferring them to personal computer memory.

Never open the battery cover, disconnect the AC adaptor from the camera, or unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket while recording images. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in file memory.
