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.

Introduction

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 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.

Use the appropriate power supply (battery, Charging AC adapter, AC adapter, USB cable)

Using a power supply other than those provided or sold by Nikon could result in damage or malfunction.

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input and output jacks, use only the cables provided or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to maintain compliance with product regulations.

Handle moving parts with care

Be careful that your fingers or other objects are not pinched by the lens cover or other moving parts.

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 States government if you export or reexport 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

The wireless transceiver included in this product conforms to wireless regulations in the country of sale and is not for u se in other countries (products purchased in the EU or EFTA can be used anywhere within the EU and EFTA). Nikon does not accept liability for use in other countries. Users who are unsure as to the original country of sale should consult with their local Nikon service center or Nikon-authorized service representative.

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 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.
