Precautions for Using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
®
Disable wireless LAN, Bluetooth ® , and GPS in countries, regions, or locations in
which their use is prohibited.
The camera is equipped with wireless LAN, Bluetooth ® , and GPS. Use of these
features in countries outside the region of purchase may violate local wireless
regulations.
Some countries and regions may prohibit the acquisition of location data without
prior governmental permission. In some Olympus sales areas, the camera may
consequently ship with location data displays disabled.
Each country and region has its own laws and regulations. Check them before
traveling and observe them while abroad. Olympus assumes no liability for any
failure on the part of the user to observe local laws and regulations.
Disable Wi-Fi and GPS on airplanes and in other locations where their use is
prohibited.

• Wireless transmissions are vulnerable to interception by third parties. Use wireless features
with this in mind.
• The wireless transceiver is located in the camera grip. Keep it as far away as practicable
from metal objects.
• When transporting the camera in a bag or other container, be aware that the contents
of the container or the materials of which it is constructed may interfere with wireless
transmissions, which can prevent the camera connecting to a smartphone.
• Wi-Fi connections increase the drain on the batteries. The connection may be lost during use
if the batteries are low.
• Devices such as microwave ovens and cordless phones that generate radio-frequency
emissions, magnetic fi elds, or static electricity may slow or otherwise interfere with wireless
data transmission.
• Some wireless LAN features are unavailable when the memory card write-protect switch is in
the “LOCK” position.
