SAFETY NOTES

Please read this chapter carefully and follow all of the in­structions given. This ensures reliable operation and a long
service life for your compact digital camera.

Keep these instructions close to your camera where they are
readily available.

Keep these instructions and give them to the new owner if
you sell or give away your camera.

OPERATING SAFETY

• Never open the housing of the camera!
This could lead to an electrical short-circuit or
even a fire resulting in damage to your camera.

Never allow children to play with
electrical appliances without supervision. They can­not always correctly recognise
possible hazards.

The camera is not designed for operation in a heavy

STORAGE AND SETUP LOCATION

• Keep your camera and all connected equipment away from

moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct
radiation from the sun in order to avoid malfunctions.

Set up and operate all components on a stable, level
and vibration-free surface to prevent the camera from falling.

• Provide for a suitable ambient temperature:

TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY

The camera can be operated at an ambient temperature of

32° F to 104° F (0° C to 40° C) and a relative humidity of
20% - 80% (not condensing).

When switched off the camera can be stored at temperature
from - 4° F to 158° F (-20° C to 70° C) at a relative humidity
of 20 % - 90 % (not condensing).

 After transporting your camera wait until it

has assumed the local ambient temperature
before putting it into operation. Major varia­tions in the temperature mean humidity con­densation can form on the inside of the cam­era which can cause an electrical short-
circuit.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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 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.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into a power outlet on a cir-

cuit different from that to which the receiver is con­nected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment. Shielded interface cables, if any, must
be used in order to comply with the emission limits.
