1. Using the equipment

This equipment should be used for photographic purposes only. Do not attempt to use it for any other purpose.

2. Do not disassemble or repair the equipment

The DS-L1 and DS AC adapter contain high-voltage power supplies. Never attempt to disassemble or repair the equipment by yourself; doing so may result in electric shock or equipment failure. Never attempt to disassemble any part of the equipment unless instructed to do so in this manual. If you notice any problems with the equipment, turn off the power and contact your nearest Nikon representative.

3. DS AC adapter

Be sure to use a dedicated AC adapter. Use of any other AC adapter may result in fire or electric shock.

4. Power cord

To prevent electric shock, always turn off the POWER switch on the DS-L1 when plugging in or unplugging the power cord. For the DS-U1, use only the specified power cord. The specifications for the specified power cord are given below. Using another power cord may lead to fire or other hazardous conditions.

Because this equipment falls under the category of electric shock protection class I, always make sure it is grounded to a protective ground terminal. If you misplace or damage the power cord, contact your nearest Nikon representative.

When using the product in 100-120 V AC regions: Use an UL-listed detachable power cord set.

3 conductor grounding Type SVT. No.18 AWG, 3m long maximum, rated at 125V AC minimum

When using the product in 220-240 V AC regions:

Use only an EU/EN-approved three-conductor power cord set.

5.Handling

To prevent malfunctions or overheating due to short circuits, do not allow this equipment or any other device used with it to become wet. Never insert any foreign objects or materials into the equipment. If the equipment gets wet, or if foreign matter (e.g., a scrap of paper) gets inside the equipment, turn off the DS-L1’s POWER switch and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Then contact your nearest Nikon representative.

Do not bend or twist the cables with undue force. Doing so may damage the cables and result in fire.

Do not place a cloth or paper on the DS-L1 or DS AC adapter. Doing so may cause heat to collect inside the equipment, resulting in fire.
