Exercise caution when using your GoPro camera as part of your active lifestyle.
Always be aware of your surroundings to avoid injury to yourself and others.
Observe proper precautions when handling batteries. Batteries may leak or
explode if products with batteries are improperly handled.
Observe the following precautions to avoid a battery explosion or fire:
• Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave,
incinerate or paint the camera.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening on the camera.
• Do not use the camera or the battery if it has been damaged-for example,
if cracked, punctured or harmed by water.
• Do not turn on your camera if it is wet. If your camera is already on, turn it off and
remove the battery immediately. Allow the camera to dry thoroughly before using
it again.
• Do not dry camera or battery with an external heat source such as a microwave oven
or hair dryer.
• Do not store your battery with metal objects, such as coins, keys or necklaces. If the
battery terminals come in contact with metal objects, this may cause a fire.
• Keep dry. The camera housing protects the camera and battery from water damage.
Always secure the camera in its housing when using the camera in or near water. Do
not get the camera or the battery wet. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
fire or electric shock. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact with liquid is
not covered under the warranty.
Your camera may have a built-in battery and/or housing, so some of the above warnings
may not apply to your camera.
