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.

Battery latch Memory card slot

Insert the Battery and Memory Card

• With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move the orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).

• Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).

• Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or

backward, as this could cause a malfunction.

B Formatting a Memory Card

The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, make sure to format it with this camera. Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in the setup menu (A76).

Removing the Battery or Memory Card

Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and monitor have turned off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.

• Move the battery latch to eject the battery.

• Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory

card.

• Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after using the camera, as they may become hot .

Memory Cards and Internal Memory

Camera data, including images and movies, can be saved either on a memory card or in the camera’s internal memory. To use the camera’s internal memory, remove the memory card.

Preparing for Shooting

Charge the Battery

USB cable (included)

Charge lamp

Electrical outlet

Charging AC Adapter

1 With the battery installed, connect the camera to an

electrical outlet.

Preparing for Shooting

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.

* The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in

which the camera was purchased. This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the Charging AC Adapter.

• The charge lamp slowly flashes green to indicate that the battery is charging.

• When charging is complete, the charge lamp turns off. It takes about 1 hour

and 50 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery.

• The battery cannot be charged when the charge lamp quickly flashes green, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.

- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.

- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.

- The battery is damaged.

2 Disconnect the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical

outlet and then disconnect the USB cable.

B Notes About the USB Cable

• Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.

• Make sure that the plugs are properly oriented. Do not insert or remove the plugs at an angle when connecting or disconnecting them.

B Notes About Charging the Battery

• The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time increases.

• If the battery level is extremely low, you may not be able to operate the camera while the battery is charging.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than the EH-71P/EH-71PCH/EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

C Charging Using a Computer or Battery Charger

• You can also charge the battery by connecting the camera to a computer.

• You can use the MH-66 Battery Charger (available separately) to charge the battery

without using the camera.
