General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the QV-2400UX or the QV-2900UX.

All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the cam- era” refer to the CASIO QV-2400UX or QV-2900UX Digital Camera.

Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so cre- ates the danger of serious accident.

Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electrical shock when exposed. Always leave main- tenance and repair work up to authorized CASIO service providers.

Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vi- sion and create the danger of accident.

Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with young chil- dren. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter from the eyes of the subject.

Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electrical shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.

Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera, immediately turn power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO service provider. Using the camera under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the camera, immediately turn power off and unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Using the camera under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electrical shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming from the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO service pro- vider for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.

At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor 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 power off, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet, and contact your nearest CASIO service pro- vider.

Never use the camera inside of an air craft 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 image data stored in its memory to be deleted. Be sure to always keep backup copies of data by transfer- ring them to personal computer memory.
