Handling Precautions - Philips ESP 2 User Manual

Handling Precautions

This camera is not waterproof. Take great care to avoid water, rain, or spilled drinks. If
the camera gets wet, contact your local Philips service office.
Never drop the camera or subject it to strong shock.
To avoid overheating the system, do not continuously operate the built-in flash unit
more than necessary.
Protect the camera from sand or dust, especially at the beach or in dusty environments
(construction sites, etc.).
Do not expose the camera to high temperatures or high humidity for long periods of
time, such as in a closed car, at the beach, or in a bath.
Turn off the camera before connecting it to the optional AC adaptor.
Sudden changes of temperature may cause condensation to form inside and outside
the camera body and lens, resulting in malfunctions. If this occurs, place the camera
into a bag or plastic bag temporarily to moderate any drastic change of temperature.
Keep it in the bag until the temperature difference is minimized.
If the LCD monitor is exposed to sunlight or other bright light, it may appear white and
may become difficult to observe.
Sometimes a pixel that always lights or never lights is present in the LCD monitor. The
brightness may have an unevenness due to the characteristics of the LCD. However,
these are not malfunctions.
Do not pull the terminal cover with excessive force. Do not lift the camera by grasping
terminal cover.
Do not open the LCD monitor while holding the lens cover.
Always close the LCD monitor when carrying the camera.
Condensation occurs when:
• The camera is suddenly brought into a warm place from a cold place.
• The camera is used in a location subject to high humidity.
• The camera is used in a recently heated room. The camera was in a location
subject to direct cool air flow from an air conditioner.
