Do’s and Don’ts Do’s and Don’ts Safety Instructions and Handling Precautions Be sure to read these instructions in order to operate the product safely. Follow these instructions to prevent injury or harm to the operator of the product or others. WARNING Denotes the risk of serious injury or death.
Page 256 Do’s and Don’ts - Do not use leaking batteries/battery packs. If a battery/battery pack leaks and the material contacts your skin or clothing, flush the exposed area thoroughly with running water. In case of eye con- tact, flush thoroughly with copious amounts of clean running water and seek immediate medical assistance.
Page 257 Do’s and Don’ts • Do not allow the product to maintain contact with the same area of skin for extended periods of time during use. This may result in low- temperature contact burns, including skin redness and blistering, even if the product does not feel hot. The use of a tripod or similar equipment is recommended when using the product in hot places and for people with circulation problems or less sensitive skin.
Page 258 CS100 Connect Station (A 141), and save them on a regular basis. This will protect your important recordings in case of damage and create more free space on the memory. Canon shall not be liable for any data loss.
Page 259 Do’s and Don’ts • b The camcorder’s Wi-Fi functions may be subject to inter- ference from devices such as cordless phones and microwave ovens.
