• Stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is damaged. Failure to do so may result in fire or
electrical shock. Immediately turn the camera's power off, remove the camera batteries and unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer
Support Help Desk.
• Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. Do not
allow liquids to enter the interior. The camera has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into contact
with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. In the event that water or other foreign sub-
stances enter the interior, immediately turn the camera's power off and remove the camera batteries or
unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electri-
cal shock. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or
maintain the equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire.
• Remove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that
collects on the plug, the exterior of the electrical outlet and the surrounding area. In dusty, humid or greasy
environments, the dust that collects around the plug over long periods of time may become saturated with
humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire.
• Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power adapter cord. Any of these actions may cause
an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.
• Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead to
electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the
flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or
electrical shocks.
• Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating,
distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards. Use only the recommended power acces-
sories.
