Important Information
Warnings
Safety Warnings • To prevent fire or shock hazard, use only the recommended accessories
and attachments.
Operational Warnings • Do not use IEEE 1394 repeaters when connecting your camera. Doing
so can damage the camera.
• Be sure the connector orientation is correct when you connect the IEEE
1394 cable to the computer. Connecting incorrectly can damage your
camera or computer. At the computer connection, the point on the 6-pin
plug must align with the point on the computer port.
• Use extreme care when handling memory cards as they are easily
damaged. If a card is dropped, all data on the card can be lost.
• Do not remove a memory card, the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro
Battery, or the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power Module from
the camera while the memory card icon on the Digital Status LCD or the
Card Busy LED are blinking. The blinking indicates that data is being
read from or written to the card. You may lose data if you remove a card
at this time.
• Operate your camera only from the type of power source indicated on
the name plate of the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power
Module. A line voltage outside this range can destroy the power module
and/or the camera.
• Use only the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Powe r Module included
with your camera or available from Kodak as an accessory. Do not plug
other adapters into the camera.
• The KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power Module is for indoor use
only.
• Do not use the supplied KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power
Module for any purpose other than for the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS
Pro SLR/c Digital Camera.
• Use the Image LCD to verify that a picture was captured correctly during
your photo session.
• Do not attempt to replace the Focus screen. Return the camera to an
authorized KODAK service center if the focus screen needs replacing.
1-2 April 28, 2004
Important Safeguards and Precautions
Read Instructions—Read all the safety and operating instructions before
operating your camera.
Follow Instructions—Follow all operating and usage instructions.
Controls—Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions.
Heed Warnings—Heed all warnings on your camera 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 your
camera needs to be shipped.
Handling—Handle your camera with care. Treat the imager as you would
your best lens. Do not drop your camera. Do not place your camera on an
unstable surface. It can fall, causing serious injury to persons and serious
damage to your camera.
Dust—If you operate the camera in environments with excessive dust
levels, dust may accumulate on the camera.
Water and Moisture—Do not use the camera in dripping or splashing
water or near salt spray , and do not immerse your camera in water or other
liquids. Do not use the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Charger / AC
Adapter near water—for example, near a sink or in a wet room or
basement.
Disposal—This digital camera contains lead. Disposal of lead may be
regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, please contact your local authorities or, in the U.S.A., the
Electronics Industry Alliance: www.eiae.org.
Object or Liquid Entry—Never push foreign objects of any kind into
your camera 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 your camera.
Important Information
April 28, 2004 1-3
Important Information
Attachments—Do not use attachments that are not recommended. The
use of such attachments may cause hazards and serious damage to your
camera.
Overloading—Do not overload power outlets and extension cords; this
can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Power-Cord Protections—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 your camera.
Camera Cables—Use only the cables supplied with your camera.
Lightning—For added protection for your camera during a lightning
storm, or any time when you will leave your camera unattended for long
periods of time, unplug the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Charger / AC
Adapter from the power outlet and disconnect the camera from the
computer.
Memory cards—Memory cards (not supplied with the camera) are
fragile devices that can be damaged if not treated with care. See the
documentation accompanying any card you obtain to ensure that you are
handling it as specified, and that you are using the card within its operating
ranges for temperature, humidity, condensation, etc.
Humidity, Condensation—We recommend operating your camera
within the range of 15% to76% relative humidity, non-condensing. If
condensation occurs, added time may be required to read from or write to
a memory card. Condensation may be present if the camera system and/or
memory cards are moved from a relatively cold environment (like an
air-conditioned room) into a warm, humid environment. We recommend
that you allow sufficient time for the camera system and/or memory cards
to normalize within the specified environmental ranges before operation.
(Memory cards may have more restrictive humidity ranges. See the
specifications accompanying your memory cards.)
Temperature—Do not expose the camera and batteries to excessive heat
such as sunshine or fire.
Servicing—Do not attempt to service your camera yourself. Opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards and
void the warranty.
1-4 April 28, 2004
Important Information
Damage Requiring Service—Unplug your camera from the wall outlet
and computer, and refer all servicing to the manufacturer under the
following conditions:
• If liquid has been spilled or if objects have fallen into your camera.
• If your camera has been exposed to heavy rain or water. (While it is
designed to tolerate a reasonable amount of moisture, your camera is
not waterproof.)
• If your camera does not operate normally according to the operating
instructions.
• If your camera has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.
• When your camera exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Disassembling the Camera—Never attempt to take the camera apart.
The camera is shipped as a single unit.
