Precautions :

Thank you for selecting DC2200 dual mode digital camera. Please read the instructions carefully for a thorough understanding before taking pictures.

l This camera is not resistant to water and should not be used outdoors in snow or rain.

If accidentally dropped in water, please quickly pour out the water. Let it to dry by sunlight or by air-blower.

l Protect it from excessive humidity. It will wet the lens and the picture is blur. l Do not attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Always take it to an authorized

service facility for repair.

l Remove the battery if you do not expect to use the camera for 1 month or longer. l When storing the camera, wrap it in a clean, soft cloth and place in a cool, dry, dust-

free place. Also it should not be placed in very hot temperature condition or in direct sun light.

l The battery may explode or cause burns if disassembled, recharged, shorted, exposed

to high temperature, or disposed of in fire.

l Take care on the lens. Use special cloth to clean it. l Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm room. Try to

put the camera in plastic bag so condensation forms on the outside of the bag.

l If nothing at all is displayed in the LCD panel, the battery may be inserted in

opposite polarity.

l If the LCD display is damaged, do not touch it. l Taking out the battery will cause the loss of internal memory (not for the CF

card). Make sure you have uploaded the photos to the PC before taking out any of the batteries.
