Caring for the Camera

❚❚ Storage
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, turn the camera offand remove the battery. Do not store in locations that:

• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)

❚❚ Cleaning
Camera Body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe offsand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and dry thoroughly.

Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may cause damage not covered under warranty.

Lens, Mirror, and Viewfinder
These glass elements are easily damaged. Remove dust and lint with a blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and clean with care.

Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing fingerprints and other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this could result in damage or malfunction.

* Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

❚❚ Battery/Display
The camera is on but does not respond: Wait for recording to end. If the problem persists, turn the camera off. If the camera does not turn off, remove and reinsert the battery or, if you are using an AC adapter, disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter. Note that although any data currently being recorded will be lost, data that have already been recorded will not be affected by removing or disconnecting the power source.
Viewfinder is dark: Insert a fully-charged battery.
Displays turn offwithout warning: Choose longer delays for Custom Setting c2 (Auto offtimers).
Viewfinder display is unresponsive and dim: The response times and brightness of this display vary with temperature.
Fine lines are visible around active focus point or display turns red when focus point is highlighted: These phenomena are normal for this type of viewfinder and do not indicate a malfunction.

❚❚ Shooting (All Modes)
Camera takes time to turn on: Delete files or folders.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of lowlevel RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The D5600, which is equipped with a LBEE5UW1FS (FCC ID:VPYLB1FS / IC ID:772C-LB1FS) Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.

Notices for Customers in Europe
Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that the D5600 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at http://imaging.nikon.com/support/pdf/DoC_D5600.pdf

Security
Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur if security is not enabled:

• Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.
• Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due to the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled.
• Unsecured networks: Connecting to open networks may result in unauthorized access. Use secure networks only.
