Important Safeguards and Precautions
The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle is in­tended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the equipment.
Read Instructions — Read all the safety and operating instructions before operating the equipment.
Follow Instructions — Follow all operating and use instructions.
Controls — Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operat­ing instructions.
Heed Warnings — Heed all warnings on the equipment and in the operating instructions.
Retain Instructions and Packaging — Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. Retain the packing case for use if the equipment needs to be shipped.
Handling — Handle the equipment as you would any valuable camera. Handle the equipment with care, especially when the hard disk is running. Treat the imager as you would your best lens. Do not drop the equipment. Mishandling can damage the imager resulting in an expensive repair.
Accessories — Do not place the equipment on an unstable cart, stand, bracket, or table. It can fall, causing serious injury to persons
x
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
and serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a stable cart, stand, bracket, or table.
Cleaning — Unplug the camera from its AC battery charger/adapter and from a computer. Be certain the camera off. Using a damp cloth, clean only the outside cabinet and the liquid crystal display (LCD) on the KODAK camera back. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the outside of the equipment. (Refer to Chapter 7 for directions on cleaning the imager in the camera back.)
Dust — If you operate the camera in environments with excessive dust levels, dust may accumulate on the imager in the camera back. (Refer to Chapter 7 for directions on cleaning the imager in the cam­era back.)
CAUTION: Water and Moisture — Do not use the AC battery charger/adapter near water — for example, near a sink, or in a wet room or basement. Do not use the equipment in heavy rain and do not immerse the equipment in water or other liquids.
Object or Liquid Entry — Never push foreign objects of any kind into the equipment openings. The objects could touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts and cause a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the equipment.
Attachments — Do not use attachments that are not recommended. The use of such attachments may cause hazards and serious damage to the equipment.
Power Sources — You should operate the equipment only from the type of power source indicated on the name plate of the AC battery charger/adapter. If you are not sure of the type of AC power that will be used, consult a dealer or local power company.
Overloading — Do not overload power outlets and extension cords; this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Cables — Do not use cables other than those supplied with the camera, except that an additional cable is required if you will use the
xi
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
camera as the only external device attached to a PowerBook com­puter (refer to Chapter 4). Use only the SCSI cables supplied with the camera to attach the camera or other peripherals to the computer. If you use other cables, you may violate FCC emission requirements and could corrupt data on the hard disk.
Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply, and other cords, so that you are not likely to walk on them or pinch them with items placed on or against them; pay particular attention to cords at plugs, receptacles, and the point where they leave the equipment.
Grounding — The AC battery charger/adapter is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug with a third (grounding) pin. The three-wire plug will fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Lightning — For added protection for the equipment during a light­ning storm, or any time when you will leave the equipment unat­tended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the AC battery charger/adapter from the power outlet and disconnect the camera from the computer. This will protect the equipment from damage caused by lightning or power-line surges.
Temperature, Humidity, Condensation — We do not recommend operating the equipment outside the operating temperature or humid­ity ranges as indicated in the Specifications appendix. If condensation occurs, added time may be required to read from or write to a PCMCIA card. Condensation may be present if the camera system and/or PCMCIA card(s) are moved from a relatively cold environment (like an air conditioned hotel room), into a warm, humid environ­ment. We recommend that you allow sufficient time for the camera system and/or PCMCIA cards to normalize within the specified environmental ranges before operation. (Third-party, optional
xii
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
PCMCIA cards may have more restrictive operating temperature and humidity ranges. Refer to the specifications for the cards you use.)
PCMCIA cards — PCMCIA cards (not supplied with the camera system) are fragile devices that can be damaged if not treated with care. Refer to the documentation accompanying any card(s) you obtain to ensure that you are handling the card as specified in that documentation, and that you are using the card within its operating ranges for temperature, humidity, condensation, and so on.
Servicing — Do not attempt to service the equipment yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Never open the KODAK camera back. (Refer to Chap­ter 7 for directions on separating the KODAK camera back from the Nikon N90s Camera to clean a dirty imager.)
Damage Requiring Service — Unplug the equipment from the wall outlet and computer, and refer all servicing to the manufacturer under the following conditions:
- When any cord or plug is damaged (send cord only).
- If liquid has been spilled or if objects have fallen in the equip­ment.
- If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the equipment does not operate normally according to the operating instructions.
- If the equipment has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
- When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Disconnecting Parts — Do not separate the KODAK camera back from the Nikon N90s camera. The system is shipped as a single unit; do not disconnect the parts (except as described in Chapter 7 for cleaning a dirty imager). Do not open or attempt to open the camera back; doing so will void the warranty.
xiii
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
You can connect the camera to a computer with or without a PCMCIA card in the camera. Once the camera is connected to a computer, you can insert/remove a PCMCIA card while the camera and computer are turned on or turned off; however, do not remove a PCMCIA card from the camera while the red “Card Busy” light on the camera back is blinking. The blinking indicates that data are being read from or written to the PCMCIA hard disk. If you do, you may lose the current image, and may lose all of your images as well.
CAUTION: To prevent fire or shock hazard, use only the recommended accessories or attachments.
Battery — Important Warnings
Do not attempt to remove the battery; it is not a customer serviceable part.
If you will be operating the camera while it is connected to the AC battery charger/adapter, the camera will be ready for operation almost immediately. (However, if you are beginning with a dead battery, and notice unusual behavior such as random characters flashing on the camera back LCD, you may need to wait for approximately three minutes while the adapter charges the battery.) If you will be operat­ing the camera without the AC battery charger/adapter, you should charge the battery for at least two hours before using as described in Chapter 4.
If the unusual behavior continues for more than five minutes, the
battery may need to be replaced; contact Kodak.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
AC Battery Charger/Adapter — Important Warnings
You should operate the equipment only from the type of power source indicated on the name plate of the AC battery charger/adapter.
voltage outside of this range can destroy the AC battery charger/ adapter and/or the camera.
Use only the supplied AC battery charger/adapter; do not plug other chargers or adapters into the camera.
The AC battery charger/adapter is for indoor use only.
Do not use the supplied AC battery charger/adapter for any purpose other than for the camera.
Do not plug the AC battery charger/adapter into any equipment other than the camera.
The rechargeable battery in the KODAK camera back becomes warm during charging; this is normal operation.
Under normal conditions, charging the battery for at least two hours provides optimal capacity. However, under very cold or very hot conditions, charge for at least 30 minutes after the LCD battery indicator indicates a full charge. Charge the battery as close to the time the camera will be used as possible. (Waiting in excess of two days before shooting will result in reduced battery capacity.)
Use the AC battery charger/adapter when connected to a computer if possible; use without the adapter in this configuration for an extended time period will drain the battery. Leaving the camera connected to the AC battery charger/adapter will not maintain a full charge; there­fore disconnect before use, then reconnect and charge for two hours to ensure a full charge. Extended camera metering or focusing reduces the number of images available from a charge.
