Safety
Do not disassemble this product; there are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. KODAK AC
Adapters and battery chargers are intended for indoor use only. The
use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified
herein may result in exposure to shock and/or electrical or mechanical
hazards. If the LCD breaks, do not touch the glass or liquid. Contact
Kodak customer support.
■ The use of an accessory that is not recommended by Kodak may cause fire, electric
shock, or injury. For approved accessories, go to
www.kodak.com/go/Zm2accessories.
■ Use only a USB-certified computer equipped with a current-limiting motherboard.
Contact your computer manufacturer if you have questions.
■ In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, wash immediately with
water and contact your local health provider. For additional health-related
information, contact your local Kodak customer support.

Appendix
■ Go to www.kodak.com/go/reach for information about the presence of substances
included on the candidate list according to article 59(1) of Regulation (EC) No.
1907/2006 (REACH).
■ If using this product in an airplane, observe all instructions of the airline.
■ For more information, go to www.kodak.com/go/batteries.
Care and maintenance
■ Before inserting or removing a card, make sure your hands, the camera, and the
card are completely dry.
■ If water has entered the camera, remove the card. Allow all components to air-dry
for at least 24 hours before using the camera.
■ Wipe off dirt or sand from the door seals—debris could compromise the seal and
cause a leak in water.
■ Do not subject the camera to temperatures lower than 0 (32° F) or higher than
° C (104° F) for an extended time—the integrity of the seals may be
40
compromised. Wait until camera reaches operating temperatures before using.
■ Blow gently on the lens or LCD to remove dust and dirt. Wipe gently with a soft,
lint-free cloth or an untreated lens-cleaning tissue. Do not use cleaning solutions
unless designed specifically for camera lenses. Do not allow chemicals, such as
suntan lotion, to contact painted surfaces.
■ Service agreements may be available in your country. Contact a dealer of KODAK
Products for more information.
■ For camera disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities. In the
US, go to the Electronics Industry Alliance Web site at www.eiae.org or Kodak at
www.kodak.com/go/support.

Appendix
Limited warranty
Kodak warrants its digital cameras and accessories (excluding removable batteries) to
be free from malfunctions and defects in both materials and workmanship for the
warranty period specified on your KODAK Product packaging. Retain the original
dated sales receipt. Proof of purchase date is required with any request for warranty
repair.
Limited warranty coverage
Warranty service is only available from within the country where the Products were
originally purchased. You may be required to ship Products, at your expense, to the
authorized service facility for the country where the Products were purchased. Kodak
will repair or replace Products if they fail to function properly during the warranty
period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service
will include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. If
Kodak is unable to repair or replace a Product, Kodak will, at its option, refund the
purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been returned to Kodak
along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the
purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty. If replacement parts are
used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured, or may contain
remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire Product, it may be
replaced with a remanufactured Product. Remanufactured Products, parts and
materials are warranted for the remaining warranty term of the original Product, or 90
days after the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer.
Limitations
This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak's control. This warranty
does not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration,
modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories
or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak's
operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by
Kodak (such as adapters and cables), or claims made after the duration of this
warranty. Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product. In the
event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is ineffective under the law, the
www.kodak.com/go/support
15
Appendix
duration of the implied warranty will be the length of the express warranty period
specified on your KODAK Product packaging. The option of repair, replacement, or
refund is Kodak's only obligation. Kodak will not be responsible for any special,
consequential or incidental damages resulting from the sale, purchase, or use of this
product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special, consequential or incidental
damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or profit, downtime costs, loss
of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute equipment, facilities or services, or
claims of your customers for such damages resulting from the purchase, use, or failure
of the Product), regardless of cause or for breach of any written or implied warranty is
expressly disclaimed. The limitations and exclusions of liability set forth herein apply
to both Kodak and its suppliers.
Your rig ht s
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.
Regulatory compliance
FCC compliance and advisory
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 frequency energy
and, if not installed or 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: 1) reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment and the
16 www.kodak.com/go/support
Appendix
receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for additional suggestions. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. Where shielded interface cables have been provided with the
product or specified additional components or accessories elsewhere defined to be
used with the installation of the product, they must be used in order to ensure
compliance with FCC regulation. The KODAK High Performance USB AC Adapter
K20-AM complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
