Nikon instruction manual Precautions for Use, Caring for the MC-36, For longer sessions

Precautions for Use

Check the camera battery level and number of exposures remaining before using the MC- En 36 (see the camera manual for details). The timer will continue to operate even when no pictures can be recorded due to low battery, lack or fi lm or memory, or lack of space in the memory buffer (digital cameras only). An AC adapter (available separately) is recommended

for longer sessions.

Some cameras have an AF activation option that determines whether the camera will focus when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (see the camera manual for details). Enable shutter-release button AF-ac- tivation when using the MC-36.

Please note that the timer is less accurate than most watches or household clocks.

Caring for the MC-36

Do not drop: The product may malfunction if sub- jected to strong shocks or vibration.

Keep dry: This product is not waterproof and may malfunction if immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden chang- es in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the device. To prevent con- densation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Keep away from strong magnetic fields: Strong static charges or the electromagnetic fi elds produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the device.

A note on electronically-controlled devices: In extreme- ly rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control panel and the device may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, disconnect the MC-36, remove the batteries, and then replace them once the control panel has turned off. Caution is required when handling the batteries, which may be hot from use. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon representative.

The control panel: LCD displays tend to darken at high temperatures and exhibit slower response times at low temperatures. This does not indicate a malfunction.
