Preventing Malfunctions - Canon EOS 1D Instructions Manual

CAUTIONS
• Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high
temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense
sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire,
burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
Ensure that there is good ventilation when using Ni-MH Charger NC-E2 to charge NP-E3.
• Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in these areas could lead to
fire, electrical shock or other damage.
• Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead
to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the neck strap.

PREVENTING MALFUNCTIONS

Avoid Strong Electromagnetic Fields
Never place the camera near electric motors or other equipment generating strong
electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong electromagnetic fields may cause malfunctions
or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensa-
tion (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by
placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to
temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may
damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or DC Coupler Kit (if con-
nected) from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the battery (except the
lithium battery CR2025) and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for
extended periods with a battery installed will run down the battery and may damage the
camera.
PREVENTING MALFUNCTIONS
• When the CF Card Access Lamp is blinking, do not open the CF card slot cover. Since
the card is reading and writing data when the lamp is blinking opening the CF card slot
cover at this time will damage the image data.
• Do not use any cable other than that supplied with the camera. Use the supplied interface
cable to connect the camera to a computer. Use of any other cable may lead to a
malfunction.
SKIN BURN HAZARD

cause low-degree skin burns. Take care to avoid skin burns.
