For USA-California Only

This product contains a CR Coin Cell Lithium Battery which contains Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate

When the equipment is installed in a cabinet or on a shelf, make sure that it has sufﬁ cient space on all sides to allow for ventilation (10 cm (3-15/16 or more on both sides, on top and at the rear). Do not block the ventilation holes. (If the ventilation holes are blocked by a newspaper, or cloth etc. the heat may not be able to get out.) No naked ﬂ ame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and the local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be followed strictly. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not use this equipment in a bathroom or places with water. Also do not place any containers ﬁ lled with water or liquids (such as cosmetics or medicines, ﬂ ower vases, potted plants, cups etc.) on top of this unit. (If water or liquid is allowed to enter this equipment, ﬁ re or electric shock may be caused.)

Do not point the lens directly into the sun. This can cause eye injuries, as well as lead to the malfunctioning of internal circuitry. There is also a risk of ﬁ re or electric shock.

CAUTION!

The following notes concern possible physical damage to the camera and to the user. Carrying or holding the camera by the LCD monitor can result in dropping the unit, or in a malfunction. Do not use a tripod on unsteady or unlevel surfaces. It could tip over, causing serious damage to the camera.

CAUTION!

Connecting cables (Audio/Video, S-Video, etc.) to the camera and leaving it on top of the TV is not recommended, as tripping on the cables will cause the camera to fall, resulting in damage.

CAUTION:

The mains plug shall remain readily operable.

WARNING:

The battery pack, the camera with battery installed, and the remote control with battery installed should not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, ﬁ re or the Iike.
