Failure to observe this precaution could cause damage or fire.

Observe caution when handling the battery

The battery may leak, overheat, or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling the battery for use in this product:

• Before replacing the battery, turn the product off. If you are using the Charging AC Adapter/AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.

• Use only a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL19 (included). Charge the battery by using a camera that supports battery charging. To perform this operation, use either Charging AC Adapter EH-70P/EH-70PCH/EH-72P/ EH-72PCH (included) or the Charge by computer function. The Battery Charger MH-66 (available separately) is also available to charge the battery without using a camera.

• When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.

• Do not short or disassemble the battery or attempt to remove or break the battery insulation or casing.

• Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.

• Do not immerse in or expose to water.

• Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it before transporting.

Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

• The battery is prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.

• Discontinue use immediately should you notice any change in the battery, such as discoloration or deformation.

• If liquid from the damaged battery comes in contact with clothing or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Observe the following precautions when handling the Charging AC Adapter

• Keep dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock.

• Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug should be removed with a dry cloth. Continued use could result in fire.

• Do not handle the plug or go near the Charging AC Adapter during lightning storms. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.

vii

• Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or bend the USB cable, place it under heavy objects, or expose it to heat or flames. Should the insulation be damaged and the wires become exposed, take it to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not handle the plug or Charging AC Adapter with wet hands. Failure to

Introduction

observe this precaution could result in electric shock.

• Do not use with travel converters or adapters designed to convert from one voltage to another or with DC-to-AC inverters. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the product or cause overheating or fire.

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 licenceexempt 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 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.

1 With the battery installed, connect the camera to an

electrical outlet.

If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly remove the plug adapter could damage the product.
