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 inside the Media door 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 Power 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/n 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.

Important Information

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

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.

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 29, 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.

Important Information

Electromagnetic Emissions

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 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.
