Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Frequency Interference Statement

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 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 an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (A34-37) when using or storing the device.

B Do Not Drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.

B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

B Keep Dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.

B Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a he at ed b ui ld ing on a co ld da y, c an cau se co nde ns at ion to for m i nsi de th e device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

B Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.

Notices

B Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended

Periods

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.

B Turn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the

Power Source or the Memory Card

Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.

B Notes About the Monitor

• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than

0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.

• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.

• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim

or flicker, contact your Nikon-authorized service representative.

B About the Manuals

Nikon will not be held liable for any damages resulting from the use of this product.

Before Taking Important Pictures

Before taking pictures on important occasions (such as at weddings or before taking the camera on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning normally. Nikon will not be held liable for damages or lost profits that may result from product malfunction.

Disposing of Data Storage Devices

Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built-in camera memory 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). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for the Select an image option in the Welcome screen setting. Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices. You can clear the Wi-Fi settings using Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options menu (A31).

Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN Network)

This product is controlled by the United States Export Administration Regulations, and you are required to obtain permission from the United Sta tes go vernm ent if you ex port o r re-export this product to any country to which the United States embargoes goods. The following countries were subject to embargo: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Since the target countries are subject to change, please contact the United States Department of Commerce for the latest information.

Restrictions on Wireless Devices

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC) Declaration of Conformity

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject 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 this device.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 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 to 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. COOLPIX P600, which is equipped with a LBWA1ZZYM6 (FCC ID:VPYLBYM / IC ID:772C-LBYM) 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.
