Precautions For Use - Ricoh WG-6 Operating Manual

Precautions for Use

Waterproof and Dustproof Function
• The camera complies with JIS/IEC waterproof grade 8 and JIS/IEC dustproof grade
6 (IP68).
• After shooting in the rain or washing with water, water may leak out from the lens
barrel or the tripod screw hole on the bottom of the camera. However, this is not
problematic because the camera is protected with the double-layered structure.
• The interior of the camera does not have the waterproof/dustproof structure. If water
enters inside the camera, immediately remove the battery and consult your nearest
repair center.
Camera
• When opening and closing the battery/card cover, be sure to remove water and
dirt such as sand, mud, and dust adhering to the camera, and ensure that water or
dirt does not enter the camera interior. Do not open the cover of the camera on the
beach, at sea, or in a sandy area. If the cover is opened, seawater or sand may enter
the camera.
• When opening and closing the battery/card cover, do not wear cotton work gloves.
Dirt such as sand and dust adhering to the gloves may enter the camera interior. Also,
be sure to remove water and dirt such as sand and mud adhering to the camera, and
avoid locations where dirt can enter the camera interior.
• When the cover is opened, water droplets may be on the inside of the cover. In this
case, clean them out before use.
• If the mode dial is not operated for a long time, it may become difficult to turn due
to its waterproof structure. Turning the dial several times recovers the smooth dial
operation.
• On the beach or in dusty places such as a construction site, be careful to keep the
camera away from sand and dust.
• Do not leave the camera in places where temperature abnormally rises or in places in
high humidity, such as in a car, on the beach, and in a bathroom.
• Ensure that the camera is turned off before connecting the optional AC adapter.
• Do not pull the battery/card cover forcefully.
• Do not hold the battery/card cover when carrying the camera.
• If any metallic object, water, liquid, or other foreign object gets into the camera, im-
mediately stop using the camera. Turn the camera off, remove the battery and mem-
ory card from the camera, and contact your nearest dealer or service center for repair.
• In cold climates, water droplets on the camera may freeze. Using the camera with
frozen water droplets could result in product malfunction. Do not leave the camera
with water droplets.
• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shocks.
