Before using the camera, please make sure that you read and understand all
the following safety precautions. Always ensure that the camera is operated
correctly. The safety precautions will instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories, preventing injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment.
In the following pages, the term "equipment" refers mainly to the camera

• Turn off immediately when malfunction
If you notice unusual smell or smoke coming from the equipment, please
unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery immediately. Proceed swiftly
with caution to avoid burns. Take the equipment to JENOPTIK authorized
service center for inspection.
• Unplug the adaptor when the camera is not in use
If you use the adaptor as the power source, unplug the adaptor when the
camera is not in use to prevent fire and other dangers. Continuous use over
a long time may lead to overheating, deformation and fire.
Battery
Observe the following instruction when handling battery used in this product.
Improper use of battery may lead to leakage or explosion.
• Recharge only Ni-Mh or Ni-Cd AA rechargeable batteries. Recharging batteries that are not rechargeable may leads to leakage or explosion.
• Check battery polarity before inserting. Do not attempt to insert the battery
upside down or backward.
• Do not disassemble or short circuit the battery.
• Do not expose battery to fire or excessive heat.
• Do not immerse or contact with water or other liquids.
• Stop using the battery immediately if noticing any deformation or changes

water, or any liquids to enter the interior of the camera
• Away from Moisture, Salt or Dust
Wipe off salt or dust with a slightly dampened soft cloth after using your
camera at the beach or seaside, then, dry your camera thoroughly.
• Away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Never put the camera too close to any equipment producing strong electromagnetic fields, such as electric motor. Strong electromagnetic fields could
lead to camera malfunctions or interfere the data recording.
• Avoid Intense Heat
Do not use or store the equipment under sunlight or high temperatures.
Such exposure could lead to the leakage of the batteries or deformation of
the casing.
• Avoid rapid temperature change
Rapidly moving the equipment between hot and cold temperatures may
form water droplets on its exterior and interior. To prevent the condensation, place the equipment in its carry case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to a rapid temperature change.
• Do not drop
Strong shock or vibration of dropping could cause malfunction. Keep the
strap around your wrist when carrying the camera.

the jack cover. These parts are not design to take extra force than regular
use.
• Battery
In low temperature circumstances, the battery’s capacity may decrease significantly due to the inactive chemical reaction. When taking pictures in cold
weather, keep a warm backup battery on hand.
Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them with a dry, clean cloth
or use an eraser to remove the stain.
• Memory cards
Turn off the power before inserting or removing the memory card.
