Introduction

bMap/location name data of this camera

Before using the location data functions, make sure to read “USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MAP DATA AND LOCATION NAME DATA” (F19) and agree to the terms.

• The maps and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) are as of April 2013. The maps and location name information will not be updated.

• The details of geological formations are displayed simplistically according to the scale of a map. The scale of a map and level of detail of the location data vary depending on country and region. If the latitude becomes higher, the horizontal and vertical scales displayed on the monitor vary, therefore displayed geological formations differ from the actual formations. Use the maps and location name information only as a guide.

• The detailed map data and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) and the Republic of Korea are not provided for the COOLPIX S9700.

bNotes about record location data functions and log recording

• When Record location data in Location data options of the Location data options menu is set to On or during log recording, record location data functions and log recording function will continue to operate even after the camera is turned off (A86). The electromagnetic waves emitted by this camera may disrupt the electronic systems of the airplane or the instruments of the hospital. When use of the camera is prohibited or restricted during airplane takeoffs and landings or inside a hospital, end log recording, set Record location data to Off, and then turn off the camera.

• An individual may be identified from still images or movies that have been recorded with location data. Observe caution when you transfer still images or movies recorded with location data, or log files to a third party or upload them to a network such as the Internet where the public can view them. Make sure to read “Disposing of Data Storage Devices” (Avi).

xii

bNotes about measurement functions

The COOLPIX S9700 is a camera. Do not use this camera as a navigation device or measuring instrument.

• Use information (such as direction) measured by the camera as a guideline only. Do not use this information for navigation of an airplane, car, and person or land survey applications.

• When you use the camera for mountain climbing or trekking, make sure to take a map, navigation device, or measuring instrument separately.

bUsing the camera overseas

• Before taking the camera with location data functions overseas for travel, consult your travel agency or embassy of the country you are visiting to confirm whether there is any restriction on use. For example, you cannot record location data logs without permission from the government in China. Set Record location data to Off.

• The location data may not function properly in China and on the borders between China and neighboring countries (as of December 2013).

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 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.
