A1300 A810

• Use only the recommended batteries.

• Do not place the batteries near or in direct flame.

The batteries may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause injury and damage the surroundings. In the event that batteries leak and the battery electrolyte contacts eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.

• Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the camera in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.

• Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data

CD-ROMs.

It is possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of a CD-ROM played on an audio CD player (music player). Additionally, this could damage the speakers.

Caution

strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.

• Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.
