OR PROPER AND SAFE USE

• Do not use or store these products in a hot or humid environment such as the glove

compartment or trunk of a car. It may damage the camera, charger, and battery which
may result in burns or injuries caused by heat, fire, explosion, or leaking battery fluid.

• If the battery is leaking, discontinue use of the product.
• The camera, charger, and battery temperature rises with extended periods of use.

Care should be taken to avoid burns.

• Burns may result if the memory card or battery is removed immediately after extended

periods of use. Turn the camera off and wait for it to cool. 

• Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with people or objects. The flash unit dis-

charges a large amount of energy which may cause burns.

• Do not apply pressure to the LCD monitor. A damaged monitor may cause injury, and

the liquid from the monitor may cause inflammation. If liquid from the monitor makes
contact with skin, wash the area with fresh water. If liquid from the monitor comes in
contact with the eyes, immediately rinse the eyes with plenty of water and contact a
doctor.

• When using the AC adapter and charger, insert the plug securely into the electrical

outlet.

• Do not use if the AC adapter or charger cord is damaged.
• Do not cover the AC adapter or charger. A fire may result.
• Do not obstruct access to the AC adapter or charger; this can hinder the unplugging

of the units in emergencies.

• Unplug the AC adapter or charger when cleaning or not in use.
