CAUTIONS
z 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.
Exposure to intense sunlight
and heat may cause the battery to leak, overheat or explode,
resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also
cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good
ventilation when using the battery charger to charge the battery.
z
Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in
such areas could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
z Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong
impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the
equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
z Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing
when shooting.
The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or
noise. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking
several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in
burns.
z Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to
its lens.
The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
z Ensure that the battery charger or compact power adapter is
plugged into a power outlet of the specified rating, not over
the specified rating.
The plug of the battery charger or compact
power adapter varies according to region.

the power cord is damaged or if the plug is not fully inserted
into the power outlet.
