General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection
• Use within the communication range of the wireless LAN network.
• Is any device, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, etc., that uses 2.4 GHz frequency
operated nearby?
→ Radio waves may get interrupted when used simultaneously. Use them sufficiently away from
the device.
• When the battery indicator is flashing red, the connection with other equipment may not start or the
connection may be disrupted. (A message such as [Communication error] is displayed.)
• When this unit is placed on a metal table or shelf, the connection may not be established easily
because the camera is affected by radio waves. Use the camera away from metal surfaces.

condition.
