About the lens, the microphone, and the speaker

•Do not press the lens with excessive force.

•Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the sun, as rays of light from the sun may cause it to malfunction. Also, be careful when placing the camera outside or near a window.

•If there is water or dirt on the lens, wipe it off with dry soft cloth before taking a picture.

•A sound might be muffled or warped when there is water on the microphone or the speaker. Wipe the residues after letting the water drip out from the microphone and speaker by tipping the camera downward, and use it after letting it dry for a while.

•Do not poke the holes of microphone and speaker with sharp points. (It may damage the waterproof sheet inside, which may damage the waterproof performance.)

Battery

The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the battery will become shorter.

Always remove the battery after use.

•Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or carry away from metallic objects (clips, etc.).

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the body of the battery and the terminals are damaged.

•Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.

Bring charged spare batteries when going out.

•Be aware that the operating time of the battery becomes shorter in cold places such as ski resorts or places at high altitude.

•When you travel, do not forget to bring the battery charger (supplied) so that you can charge the battery in the country that you are traveling in.

Dispose of unusable battery.

•The battery has a limited life.

•Do not throw the battery into fire because it may cause an explosion.

•The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the RBRC hotline at 1-800-822-8837 for information.

Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.).

•This can cause short-circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you touch a battery.
