blindness which may lead to an accident.

• Do not use the monitor while operating a vehicle or walking. It may result in injury or an

accident.

• Do not use this product in a humid environment, or operate this product with wet hands.

If liquid enters the product, immediately remove the batteries or unplug the AC adapter
and discontinue use. The continued use of a product exposed to liquids may cause
damage or injury through fire or electric shock.

• Do not use the product near inflammable gases or liquids such as gasoline, benzine, or

paint thinner. Do not use inflammable products such as alcohol, benzine, or paint
thinner to clean the product. The use of inflammable cleaners and solvents may cause
an explosion or fire.

• When unplugging the AC adapter, do not pull on the power cord. Hold the adapter unit

when removing it from an outlet.

• Do not damage, twist, modify, heat, or place heavy objects on the AC adapter cord. A

damaged cord may cause damage or injury through fire or electric shock.

• If the product emits a strange odor, heat, or smoke, discontinue use. Immediately

remove the batteries taking care not to burn yourself as the batteries become hot with
use. The continued use of a damaged product or part may cause injuries or fire.

• Take the product to a Minolta Service Facility when repairs are required

• Do not use or store the product in a hot or humid environment such as the glove

compartment or trunk of a car. It may damage the product and batteries which may
result in burns or injuries caused by heat, fire, explosion, or leaking battery fluid.

• If batteries are leaking, discontinue use of the product.
• The camera temperature rises with extended periods of use. Care should be taken to

avoid burns.

• Burns may result if the memory card or batteries are removed immediately after

extended periods of use. Turn the camera off and wait for it to cool. 

• Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with people or objects. The flash unit

discharges a large amount of energy which may cause burns.

• Do not apply pressure to the LCD monitor. A damaged monitor may cause injury, and

the liquid from the monitor may cause inflammation. If liquid from the monitor makes
