Cautions Cautions
To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the fol-
lowing precautions when storing or using the device.
❚❚ Waterproofi ng
Observe the following precautions when using the unit in or around water:
• The unit is proof only against fresh water (such as pools, rivers, and lakes)
and seawater. Do not take into hot springs or baths.
• Do not expose to depths greater than 100 m (328 ft) or to rapids, wa-
terfalls, water fl owing at full force from a tap, or other water under high
pressure. Failure to observe these precautions could expose the unit to
pressures high enough to cause water entry.
• Exposure to water will damage the unit’s internal parts. To prevent water
entry, do not remove the battery holder with wet hands, when the unit
is wet, or in locations exposed to spray, wind, sand or dust. Ensure that
batteries are dry before insertion. Should the unit leak, cease use imme-
diately, dry it off , and consult a Nikon-authorized service representative.
• Water and other liquids on the O-ring guide or the bottom or sides
of the battery holder should be removed immediately with a soft, dry
cloth. Other foreign matter should be removed from these surfaces with
a blower, taking care to remove any small particles from the sides and
corners of the O-ring guide. Foreign matter on the exterior of the unit
can be removed with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use soap, cleansers, or
other chemicals, and be sure to remove suntan oil, sunblock, bath salts,
detergent, soap, organic solvents, oil, alcohol, and the like immediately.
• Do not leave the unit for extended periods in locations that are exposed
to freezing temperatures or temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F), such as in
enclosed vehicles, on board boats, on the beach, in direct sunlight, or
near heating equipment. Failure to observe this precaution may make
the unit vulnerable to water entry.
