Safety Precautions

Battery

•Use only recommended batteries.

•Do not place the batteries near or in direct flame.

•Do not let the batteries come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other liquids.

•Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries.

•Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts.

This may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contacts these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.

Other Warnings

•Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data CD-ROMs.

Playing the CD-ROM(s) in an audio CD player (music player) could damage the speakers. It is also possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of a CD-ROM played on a music CD player.

Caution

•Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks when hanging it by the strap.

•Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens. This could damage the camera or lead to injury.

•Avoid using, placing or storing the camera in the following places.

-Places subject to strong sunlight.

-Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F).

-Humid or dusty areas.

These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the batteries, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.

Caution

•Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (the sun, etc.). Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the image sensor.

•When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.
