Precautions

General precautions

 Do not use or store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas,

as its components may be damaged.

 Do not store the product in a hot environment. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

 Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product

warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside,
which may damage the electronic circuits.

 Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.

High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric
shock when exposed.

 Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may

damage the internal components.

 Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong

detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a
slightly damp soft cloth.

 Do not open battery cover while an image is being recorded.

Doing so will not only make storage of the current image
impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored
in file.

 If the product or any of its accessories are not working

properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center.
The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange
for the product to be repaired.

 Test for proper operation before using the camera.

vii

Notes on the LCD Screen

Be very careful to ensure the fluid contained in the LCD screen does
not escape if the screen becomes cracked or damaged. If this occurs,
follow these steps:

 If the fluids make contact with skin, wipe it with a clean cloth

then rinse with a large amount of water.

 If the fluid makes contact with eyes, wash eyes with clean

water for at least 15 minutes and go to the hospital as soon as
possible.

 If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse mouth with water, then

drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Go to the
hospital as soon as possible.

Operation conditions

 This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from

0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

 Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas:

- In areas subject to direct sunlight

- In areas subject to high humidity or dust

- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to
temperature extremes

- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun.

- In areas subject to strong vibration

Power supply

 Use only the type of battery that came with your camera.

Using any other type of battery may damage the equipment
and invalidate the warranty.

 Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. Inserting the battery

incorrectly can cause damage to the product and possibly start
a fire.

viii

 Remove the battery to avoid the fluid leakage if the camera is

not going to be used for a long time.

 If the battery is crushed or damaged, remove it immediately to

avoid the battery fluid leakage and abnormal expansion.

Waterproof

Waterproof performance

 The camera’s waterproof performance is equivalent IPX8
 Underwater time limit: Do not use the camera underwater for

more than 60 minutes to ensure water resistance.

 The camera is not dust-proof.
 The supplied accessories are not waterproof.

Notes before going underwater:

(Do not do the following actions on sandy /dusty environment or
near the water’s edge, please check indoors)

 Check if the area surrounding the battery/HDMI/USB port is

clean, do not allow dirt or sand or foreign objects around it.

 Ensure that the battery/HDMI/USB compartment cover has

no cracks or scratches.

 Ensure that the battery/HDMI/USB compartment cover is

closed.

 Ensure that the camera has no cracks, if the camera has been

dropped; it is recommended to return it to your dealer.

ix

Notes for general use:

(If the USB cable is directly connected to a computer or if the AV
cable or HDMI cable is connected to a TV, be careful in plugging it,
do not allow it to touch the battery/HDMI/USB compartment
cover to avoid waterproof loss.)

 Avoid opening or closing the battery, HDMI/USB

compartment cover near the water’s edge (sea, lake, beach,

lake, etc.). Do not open or close the cover with wet hands, or
hands with sand or dust.

 If taking pictures near the water’s edge, pay attention not to

drop the front lens. If it is dropped, wipe off water drops using
a non-fiber clean cloth or a soft absorbent cotton cloth as soon
as possible so as not to leave water drop marks.

 The accessories (batteries, etc.) used with the camera are not

water resistant, be careful in using them.

 Do not drop the camera to ensure waterproof durability.
 Do not place the camera in temperatures above 40°C or below

0°C to ensure waterproof durability.

 Do not attempt to make the camera waterproof or seal the

vents yourself, doing so may damage the camera’s waterproof

ability.

When using the camera

 The waterproof properties of the camera apply to fresh water

and saltwater only; they do not apply to cleaning substances,
chemicals, or water from spas, etc. Any such liquids should be
wiped off immediately.

 Do not immerse in water at a depth greater than 3.0 m (10 ft).
 Do not subject the camera to highly pressurized water.
 Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60

minutes of use in water, allow the camera to dry for at least 10
minutes.

x

 Do not immerse in water warmer than 40°C (104°F).
 Do not open or close the battery/HDMI/USB compartment

cover when the camera is wet or underwater.

 Do not open or close the battery/ HDMI/USB compartment

cover with wet hands.

 Do not open the battery/ HDMI/USB compartment cover next

to water or a pool.

 The camera is not dust-proof.
 Do not bump or knock the camera underwater, otherwise the

battery/ HDMI/USB compartment cover may open.

After using the camera

 Be sure to come ashore within 60 minutes after going

underwater, this will maintain the appearance, quality and
water resistance of the camera.

 After taking pictures underwater, clean the camera in a bucket

of water without salt. Ensure that the battery/HDMI/USB
compartment cover is closed; then soak the camera in the
bucket of water for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, wipe
the camera and the lens dry with absorbent cotton. Place the
camera in a well ventilated cool place to dry naturally (do not
place under direct sunlight or exposed areas). Be sure to wait
until the camera is completely dry before opening the
battery/HDMI/USB compartment cover (open the
compartment cover while holding an absorbent cotton to dry
off water or clean other impurities around the cover).

 Wipe off water drops on the camera and the lens with a soft

lint-free cloth (to avoid fiber) and place it in a well-ventilated
place to dry. The cover at the battery/IO DOOR can be opened
only after dry to prevent water from entering the camera when
opening.

xi

 Before you open the cover at the battery/IO DOOR, always

wipe off water drops inside the cover. Note that it should face
down when opening.

Notes on maintenance

 Be sure to wipe any dirt or sand off the waterproof sealing

material or its contraction surface. Dirt or sand may scratch the
material or the surface, making the camera less resistant to
water.

 Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents, alcohol or

similar liquids to clean the camera. They may make the camera
less resistant to water.

 The waterproof of sealing material is replaceable at cost. The

material should be replaced once a year to maintain the
camera water resistance.

Other Notes

 If water accidentally enters the camera or any problem occurs

when it is in water, please get out of water immediately and
take proper actions. Dry the camera and send it to repair.

 Information is subject to change without notice. Refer to the

important notes in the manual supplied with the camera.

xii
