Safety Warnings

Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage.
Preventing Serious Injury or Death
• To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below:
- Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this booklet. Do not use any
home-made or modified batteries.
- Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack. Do not apply heat or apply solder to the
battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And
do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock.
- Do not install the battery pack in reversed polarity (+ –).
- Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range of 0°C - 40°C (32°F -
104°F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time.
- Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the WFT-E1, accessories,
connecting cables, etc.
• When disposing of a battery pack, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other
metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion.
• If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the
battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a fire.
• If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it
immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process.
• Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin
problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of
clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately.
• When recharging the battery pack, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can
accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock.
• Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• When the WFT-E1 is not in use, disconnect the power plug and remove the battery pack. This is to prevent
electrical shock, heat generation, and fire.
• Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire.
• If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the
internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock.
• Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock.
• Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.
• Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed. Electromagnetic waves
emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane's instruments or the hospital's medical equipment.
• To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below:
- Always insert the power plug all the way in.
- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.
- When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord.
- Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie
the cords.
- Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet.
- Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged.
• Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the
surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the
outlet to cause a fire.
• Be careful not to poke the tip of the antenna into someone's eyes. It can cause visual impairment.
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
• Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become
hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and
cause the casing to deform or catch fire.
• If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the
battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock.
• Do not use or leave the battery pack in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter
battery life. The battery pack can also become hot and cause skin burns.
• Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment. Doing so may cause
fire or a health hazard.
If the product does not work properly, requires repair, or is damaged, contact your
dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.
