WARNING

●TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD…

Your camera and power supply should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Your camera has been designed for outdoor use, however accessories are not designed to sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the internal parts. Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Unplug your camera from the power supply before cleaning.

CAUTION

●DO NOT AIM YOUR CAMERA AT THE SUN OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS ●DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR CAMERA TO EXTENDED HIGH

TEMPERATURE…

Such as, in direct sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your camera.

●AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE…

If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the SD card and inside the unit.

●DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAMERA OR THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT IN USE.

●STORAGE OF YOUR CAMERA…

Store and handle your camera in a manner that will not subject it to unnecessary movement (avoid shaking and striking). Your camera contains a sensitive pick-up device which could be damaged by improper handling or storage.

CARE

●TO PROTECT THE LENS…

Do not touch the surface of the lens with your hand. Use a commercial camera lens solution and lens paper when cleaning the lens. Improper cleaning can scratch the lens coating.

●TO PROTECT THE FINISH OF YOUR CAMERA…

Before handling your camera, make sure your hands and face are free from any chemical products, such as suntan lotion, as it may damage the finish.
