Precautions on Operating and Storage Environment

Avoid using or storing the adapter in extremely hot or cold 
places.

Avoid using or storing the adapter in places with excessive 
dirt and dust, or in direct sunlight.

Avoid using or storing the adapter in places with strong 
vibrations or on unstable surfaces. This may cause equipment 
failure.

WARNING

Do not disassemble or modify the adapter. 

Doing so may 

cause an electric shock, fire, equipment failure, or accident.

Do not spill liquid or let metallic objects or anything 
flammable get inside the adapter. 

This could result in a fire, 

electric shock, equipment failure, or accident.

Keep the adapter away from infants or toddlers as it 
could be accidentally swallowed. 

If this happens, call a 

doctor, emergency or poison control center immediately.

Do not insert anything other than the card into the card 
slot. 

Doing so may cause equipment failure or fire.

Before cleaning the adapter, disconnect the USB 
connector from the PC. 

Cleaning the adapter while it is still 

connected to the PC via the USB connector may cause an 
electric shock.

If any devices make strange noises or produce smoke, or 
if a foreign object gets inside the adapter, turn off the 
device connected to the adapter and unplug it from the 
power outlet.  Then contact your dealer or authorized 
Olympus service center.

Avoid using the adapter in a sealed environment.

Use a soft cloth to wipe the adapter. If it is very dirty, wipe it 
with a soft cloth moistened with a small amount of diluted 
neutral detergent first, then wipe off any moisture with a dry 
cloth.

Cleaning Precautions

Do not apply organic solvent such as thinner, benzine, or 
insecticide to the adapter. This may cause the surface of the 
adapter to deteriorate and its coating to peel off.

Avoid using the adapter near the objects with strong 
magnetism (motors, transformers, televisions, speakers, 
magnets, etc.).  This may cause malfunctions.

another device, 

re-format the card with your camera.
