in the rain or snow.
· For safety reasons, please keep this camera and accessories out of reach of children
or animals to prevent accidents.
· If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the camera, immediately turn
the power off and unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Take it to an
authorized service center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
