Observe the following precaution when handling the battery charger

If an MH-71 battery charger is provided with the camera, observe the following precautions:

Keep dry. Failure to observe this precau- tion could result in fire or electric shock.

Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug should be removed with a dry cloth. Continued use could result in fire.

Do not handle the power cable or go near the battery charger during thun- derstorms. Failure to observe this pre- caution could result in electric shock.

Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or bend the power cable, place it under heavy objects, or expose it to heat or flame. Should the insulation be dam- aged and the wires become exposed, take it to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not handle the plug or battery charger with wet hands. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input and output jacks, use only the cables provided or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to maintain compliance with product regu- lations.
