damage the internal components.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong
detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a
slightly damp soft cloth.
Do not open the battery cover while an image is being

stored on file.
If the product or any of its accessories are not working
properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center.
