For Your Safety

To prevent damage to your Nikon product or injury to yourself or to others, read the following safety precautions in their entirety before using this equip­ment. Keep these safety instructions where all those who use the product will read them.
The consequences that could result from failure to observe the precautions listed in this section are indicated by the following symbol:
This icon marks warnings. To prevent possible injury, read all warn-
A
ings before using this Nikon product.
❚❚WARNINGS
Keep the sun out of the frame. Keep the
A
sun well out of the frame when shooting backlit subjects. Sunlight focused into the camera when the sun is in or close to the frame could cause a fire.
Turn off immediately in the event of mal-
A
function. Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the equipment or AC adapter (available separately), unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery immediately, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in injury. After removing the battery, take the equip­ment to a Nikon-authorized service center for inspection.
Do not use in the presence of flammable
A
gas. Do not use electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas, as this could result in explosion or fire.
Keep dry. Do not immerse in or expose
A
to water or handle with wet hands. Failure to keep the product dry could result in damage to the product, fire, or electric shock, while handling the product with wet hands could result in electric shock.
Do not disassemble. Touching the prod-
A
uct’s internal parts could result in injury. In the event of malfunction, the product should be repaired only by a qualified technician. Should the product break open as the result of a fall or other accident, remove the bat­tery and/or AC adapter and then take the product to a Nikon-authorized service center for inspection.
Keep out of reach of children. Failure to
A
observe this precaution could result in injury. In addition, note that small parts constitute a choking hazard. Should a child swallow any part of this equipment, consult a physician immediately.
Do not place the strap around the neck of
A
an infant or child. Placing the camera strap around the neck of an infant or child could result in strangulation.
Follow the instructions of airline and hos-
A
pital personnel.
vii
Do not remain in contact with the camera,
A
battery, or charger for extended periods while the devices are on or in use. Parts of
the device become hot. Leaving the device in direct contact with the skin for extended periods may result in low-temperature burns.
Do not leave the product where it will be
A
exposed to extremely high temperatures, such as in an enclosed automobile or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this
precaution could cause damage or fire.
Do not aim the flash at the operator of a
A
motor vehicle. Failure to observe this precaution could result in accidents.
Observe caution when using a flash.
A
Using the camera with the flash in
close contact with the skin or other objects could cause burns.
Using a flash close to the subject’s
eyes could cause temporary visual impairment. The flash should be no less than one meter (3 ft 4 in.) from the subject. Particular care should be observed when photographing infants.
Avoid contact with liquid crystal. Should
A
the display break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
Do not carry tripods with a lens or camera
A
attached. You could trip or accidentally strike others, resulting in injury.
Do not touch the moving parts of the lens.
A
Failure to observe this precaution could result in injury.
Observe proper precautions when handling
A
batteries. Batteries may leak, overheat, rupture, or catch fire if improperly handled. Observe the following pre­cautions when handling batteries for use in this product:
Use only batteries approved for use
in this equipment.
Do not short or disassemble the
battery.
Do not expose the battery or the
camera in which it is inserted to powerful physical shocks.

replacing the battery. If you are using an AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.
Do not attempt to insert the battery
upside down or backwards.
Do not expose the battery to flame
or to excessive heat.
Do not immerse in or expose to
water.
Replace the terminal cover when
transporting the battery. Do not transport or store the battery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
Batteries are prone to leakage when
fully discharged. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
When the battery is not in use,
attach the terminal cover and store in a cool, dry place.
viii
The battery may be hot immedi-
ately after use or when the product has been used on battery power for an extended period. Before remov­ing the battery turn the camera off and allow the battery to cool.
Discontinue use immediately

Observe proper precautions when handling
A
the charger:
Keep dry. Failure to observe this pre-
caution could result in injury or product malfunction due to fire or electric shock.

Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting memory cards or other data storage devices does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using com­mercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of per­sonal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images containing no private infor­mation (for example, pictures of empty sky). Wi-Fi settings can be reset to default values by selecting Reset Wi-Fi settings for Wi-Fi connection type in the Wi-Fi menu (0 92). Care should be taken to avoid injury when physically destroying data storage devices.

Notices for Customers in Canada
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence­exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subjec t to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wire­less devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have sug­gested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The 1 J5, which is equipped with a DW092 (FCC ID:EW4DW092 / IC ID:4634A-3149EC) wireless LAN module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.
Notices for Customers in Europe
Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that the 1 J5 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be con­sulted at http://imaging.nikon.com/sup port/pdf/DoC_1J5.pdf

Security
Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the fol­lowing may occur if security is not enabled:
Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.
Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled.
