Observe proper precautions when han- dling batteries

Batteries may leak or explode if improp- erly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling batteries for use in this product:

Before replacing the battery, turn the product off. If you are using an AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.

Use only rechargeable Nikon EN-EL8 lithium-ion batteries (supplied). Charge the battery either by inserting it in the camera and connecting the supplied AC adapter, or by inserting it in a MH-62 battery charger (available separately).

When inserting the battery, do not at- tempt to insert it upside down or back- wards.

Do not short or disassemble batteries.

Do not expose batteries to flame or to excessive heat.

Do not immerse in or expose to water.

Replace the terminal cover when trans- porting the battery. Do not transport or store with metal objects such as neck- laces or hairpins.

Batteries are prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the bat- tery when no charge remains.

Discontinue use immediately should you notice any change in the battery, such as discoloration or deformation.

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input and output jacks, use only the cables provided or sold by Nikon for the pur- pose, to maintain compliance with product regulations.

Handle moving parts with care

Care should be taken to prevent fingers or other objects from being pinched in the sliding lens cover or other moving parts.

CD-ROMs

The CD-ROMs supplied with this device should not be played back on audio CD equipment. Playing CD-ROMs on an audio CD player could cause hearing loss or damage the equipment.

Observe caution when operating the flash

Using the flash close to your subject’s eyes could cause temporary visual impairment. Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than one meter (39˝) from the subject.

Do not fire the flash while it is touching a person or object

Such use can result in the person being burned, and/or their clothes igniting from the heat of the flash.

Avoid contact with liquid crystal Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or enter- ing the eyes or mouth.
