Notices
• No part of the manuals included with this product may be reproduced, transmitted, transcribed,
stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any
language in any form, by any means, without
Nikon’s prior written permission.
• Nikon reserves the right to change the specifications of the hardware and software described in
these manuals at any time and without prior notice.
Notice for customers in the U.S.A.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation of the device is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Products that contain a radio transmitter are
labeled with FCC ID and may also carry the FCC
logo.
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 occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful 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.
• Nikon will not be held liable for any damages resulting from the use of this product.
• While every effort has been made to ensure that
the information in these manuals is accurate and
complete, we would appreciate it were you to
bring any errors or omissions to the attention of
the Nikon representative in your area (address
provided separately).
• 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.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
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. The NIKON
COOLPIX P1/P2 has been tested and found to
comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency
energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels
tested for the NIKON COOLPIX P1/P2 has been
shown to be 0.208 W/kg at Body.
This device should not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.

Use the interface cables sold or provided by
Nikon for your equipment. Using other interface
cables may exceed the limits of Class B Part 15
of the FCC rules.

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any
changes or modifications made to this device
that are not expressly approved by Nikon
