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,
images of empty sky). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property
when physically destroying data storage devices.

To delete the Wi-Fi settings, select Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options
menu (A13).

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

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.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

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 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

The wireless transceiver included in this product conforms to wireless
regulations in the country of sale and is not for use 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

(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.
