Information to the user

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from tha t to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION : Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Danger

Do not attempt to modify this camera in any way. This may result in fire, injury, electric shock or severe damage to you or your camera. Internal inspection, maintenance and repairs should be carried out by your dealer or Samsung Camera Service Center. Please do not use this product in close proximity to flammable or explosive gases, as this could increase the risk of explosion. Should any form of liquid or a foreign object enter the camera, do not use it. Switch off the camera, and then disconnect the power source (batteries or AC Power Adapter). You must contact your dealer or Samsung Camera Service Center. Do not continue to use the camera as this may cause a fire or electric shock. Do not insert or drop metallic or inflammable foreign objects into the camera through access points e.g. the memory card slot and battery chamber. This may cause a fire or electric shock. Do not operate this camera with wet hands. This could pose a risk of electric shock.

Warning

Do not use the flash in close proximity to people or animals. Positioning the flash too close to

your subject’s eyes, may cause eyesight damage.

When taking photographs, never point the lens of the camera directly into very strong light.

This may result in permanent damage to your eyesight.

For safety reasons keep this product and accessories out of reach of children or animals to

prevent accidents e.g.:

Swallowing batteries or small camera accessories. If an accident should occur, please consult a doctor immediately.

There is the possibility of injury from the camera’s moving parts. Batteries and camera may become hot during prolonged use and it may result in camera malfunction. Should this be the case, allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool. Do not recharge non rechargeable batteries. This may cause an explosion. Do not leave this camera in places subject to extremely high temperatures, such as a sealed vehicle, direct sunlight or other places of extreme variances in temperature. Exposure to extreme temperatures may adversely affect the camera s internal components and could cause a fire. When in use, do not cover the camera or AC Power Adapter. This may cause heat to build up and distort the camera body or cause a fire. Always use the camera and its accessories in a well-ventilated area.

Caution

Leaking, overheating, or burst batteries could result in fire or injury.

Use batteries with the correct specification for the camera. Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of batteries in fire.

Do not insert the batteries with the reverse polarities. Remove the batteries when not planning to use the camera for a long period of time. Batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte and irreparably damage the camera's components. Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects. Do not touch the flash after using it continuously. It may cause burns. Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Power Adapter. After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the adapter from the wall socket. Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the cords or cables and cause a fire or electric shock. A non-rechargeable (disposable) battery can be used but has a short lifespan because of its relatively low battery capacity. We recommend the rechargeable battery which has a bigger capacity and longer lifespan than the non rechargeable type. (Rechargeable batteries may not be available everywhere).
