Kyocera SL300R manual Microcomputer Protection Circuit

•Clean the camera body by wiping with soft cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents or cleansers, since such substances will damage the body materials.

•Do not remove the SD memory card or Multi-Media Card (MMC) while the card access LED is flashing.

•Interference may occur in recorded or played back images when the camera is used in areas subject to strong electromagnetic interference (e.g., near a television set or stereo speakers).

•Do not direct the camera lens directly toward the sun when shooting, since the CCD element may be damaged.

•If the camera is dropped, it may be damaged internally or parts may have been dislodged even when there is no visible external damage. The camera must be taken to a Kyocera/ Yashica Service Center for checking.

•Do not attempt to touch the insides of the memory card slot, since damage or malfunction may result.

<Microcomputer Protection Circuit>

This camera incorporates a safety circuit to protect its microcomputer against strong external static electricity. Though rarely, it may fail to function because this safety circuit has come into action.

In this case, turn off the camera’s power, remove the batteries, reload them and use the camera again.

For best performance, we recommend the use of genuine Kyocera accessories. Kyocera is not responsible for any accidents or damage caused by the use of accessories made by other manufacturers or fashioned by the user.

<Storing the Camera>

	• Store the camera in a well-ventilated location, avoiding damp or dusty areas,
a CAUTION	drawers or boxes containing mothballs, or in laboratories or other locations
	where chemicals are handled. Exposure to such chemical fumes can result in
	damage to the camera’s circuitry, resulting in short circuits and causing the
	camera to emit smoke or catch fire.

•Do not place the camera in places that may be exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time (the beach in summer, a closed car under bright sun, etc.). Such high temperatures may cause adverse affects or damage to the camera, batteries, or memory cards.

•Remove the battery pack before storing the camera for extended periods of time, to prevent battery leakage and resulting damage.

<LCD Monitor>

•Rubbing or pressing strongly on the LCD monitor screen can result in damage or malfunctions. If there is dust or dirt on the LCD monitor, blow it off with a blower brush. Heavy soiling should be wiped off using soft cloth.

•If the LCD monitor should become broken, take precautions to prevent personal a CAUTION injury from glass fragments.

•If the LCD monitor breaks and its liquid contacts your skin, quickly wipe away any remaining liquid and wash the skin with soap and water. If the liquid should enter the eyes, wash with clean running water for at least 15 minutes, then seek medical attention immediately.

•Due to the innate characteristics of LCD panels, a few pixels may appear permanently lighted or may not light at all. This is not a malfunction, and does not affect the recorded image in any way.

•The LCD monitor may appear difficult to see in some outdoor lighting situations.
