PRECAUTIONS
11
•
Do not look at the sun or strong lights
with the camera.
•
Keep young children, infants away from
the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of
the reach of young children and infants to
prevent the following dangerous situations
which could cause serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera
strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery,
cards or other small parts.
•
Accidentally firing the flash into their
own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the
moving parts of the camera.
•
If you find that the USB-AC adapter or
charger is extremely hot or notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke around
it, unplug the power plug from wall outlet
immediately and stop using it. Then,
contact an authorized distributor or
service center.
•
Stop using the camera immediately if
you notice any unusual odors, noise, or
smoke around it.
• Never remove the batteries with bare
hands, which may cause a fire or burn
your hands.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet
hands.
This may cause overheating, exploding,
burning, electrical shocks, or malfunctions.
•
Do not leave the camera in places where
it may be subject to extremely high
temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate
and, in some circumstances, cause the
camera to catch fire. Do not use the
charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered
(such as a blanket). This could cause
overheating, resulting in fire.
•
Handle the camera with care to avoid
getting a low temperature burn.
• When the camera contains metal
parts, overheating can result in a low-
temperature burn. Pay attention to the
following:
• When used for a long period, the
camera will get hot. If you hold on
to the camera in this state, a low-
temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature of the
camera’s body may be lower than the
environmental temperature. If possible,
wear gloves when handling the camera
in cold temperatures.
• To protect the high-precision technology
contained in this product, never leave the
camera in the places listed below, no matter if
in use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or
humidity are high or go through extreme
changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked
cars, or near other heat sources (stove,
radiator, etc.) or humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
•
Near flammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in
the rain.
• In places prone to strong vibrations.
• The camera uses a lithium ion battery
specified by our company. Charge the
battery with the specified USB-AC adapter
or charger. Do not use any other USB-AC
adapters or chargers.
• Never incinerate or heat batteries in
microwaves, on hot plates, or in pressure
vessels, etc.
• Never leave the camera on or near
electromagnetic devices.
This may cause overheating, burning, or
exploding.
• Do not connect terminals with any metallic
objects.
• Take precautions when carrying or storing
batteries to prevent them from coming into
contact with any metal objects such as
jewelry, pins, fasteners, keys, etc.
The short circuit may cause overheating,
exploding, or burning, which burn or damage
you.
• To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging
their terminals, carefully follow all instructions
regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt
to disassemble a battery or modify it in any
way, solder, etc.
•
If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush
your eyes immediately with clear, cold
running water and seek medical attention
immediately.
• If you cannot remove the battery from the
camera, contact an authorized distributor
or service center. Do not try to remove the
battery by force.
Damage to the battery exterior (scratches,
etc.) may produce heat or an explosion.
• Always store batteries out of the reach of
small children and pets. If they accidentally
swallow a battery, seek medical attention
immediately.
• To prevent batteries from leaking,
overheating, or causing a fire or explosion,
use only batteries recommended for use with
this product.
