1 Warnings & Cautions
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
WARNING
■
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designedto providereasonable protection againstsuch interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his
own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to
correct the interference.
(Applies only to cameras with laser pointer:) Do not look directly into the laser
■
beam. The laser beam can cause eye irritation.
Do not disassemble or do a modification to the battery. The battery contains
■
safety and protection devices which, if they become damaged, can cause the
battery to become hot, or cause an explosion or an ignition.
If there is a leak from the battery and the fluid gets intoyour eyes, do not rub your
■
eyes. Flush well with water and immediately get medical care. The battery fluid
can cause injury to your eyes if you do not do this.
Do not continue tocharge the batteryif it doesnot become chargedin the specified
■
charging time. If you continueto chargethe battery, it can become hotand cause
an explosion or ignition.
Only use the correct equipment to discharge the battery. If you do not use the
■
correct equipment, you can decrease the performance or the life cycle of the
battery. If you do not use the correct equipment, an incorrect flow of current to
the battery can occur. This can cause the battery to become hot, or cause an explosion and injury to persons.
