A Cautions
• Do not get the camera caught on other objects or subject it to
strong impacts or shocks when wearing or holding it by the
neck strap.
Doing so may result in injury or damage to the camera.
• Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas.
• Do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to
contact the charger terminals or plug.
Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
• 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.
• Do not use the camera in such a way that would cause it to
exceed the rating of the power outlet or wiring. Do not use if
the power cord or plug are damaged, or if not fully plugged
into the outlet.
• Do not use in locations with poor ventilation.
The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion,
resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also
cause deformation of the casing.
• When not using the camera for extended periods of time,
remove the battery from the camera or battery charger and
store the equipment in a safe place.
Storing the camera for extended periods with batteries installed will
cause battery leakage and damage the camera.
