The AC adaptor can be used with any power source rated from 100V to 240V AC. If you plan to use the AC adaptor in another country, it is up to you to purchase the applicable power cord that matches the configuration of power recep- tacles in that country.

Adaptor Precautions

Never use an electrical outlet whose voltage is outside the rating marked on the AC adaptor. Doing so can create the danger of fire or electric shock. Use only the optional AC adaptor specified for this camera.

Do not allow the AC adaptor power cord to become cut or damaged, do not place heavy objects on it, and keep it away from heat. A damaged power cord creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

Never try to modify the AC adaptor power cord, or subject it to severe bending, twisting, or pulling. Doing so creates the risk of fire and electric shock.

Never touch the AC adaptor while your hands are wet. Do- ing so creates the risk of electric shock.

Do not overload extension cords or wall outlets. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electric shock.

Should the cord of the AC adaptor become damaged (ex- posed internal wiring), request a replacement from a CASIO service center. A damaged AC adaptor cord cre- ates the danger of fire or electric shock.

Be sure to turn off power before connecting or disconnect- ing the adaptor.

Always turn camera power off before disconnecting the AC adaptor, even if the camera has a battery installed. If you don’t, the camera will turn off automatically when you dis- connect the AC adaptor. You also run the risk of damaging the camera whenever you disconnect the AC adaptor with- out first turning power off.
