Introduction

Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof Performance

• Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it against a water surface.

• Do not subject the camera to shock when using it underwater.

- Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to rapids or

waterfalls.

- Do not expose to depths greater than 10 m (33 ft) underwater.

- Make sure not to drop the camera underwater. This camera does not float in

water.

• Do not continuously use the camera underwater for 60 minutes or more.

• Do not insert a wet memory card or battery in the camera.

- Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover when the camera or

your hands are wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the camera or result in camera malfunction.

• Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover underwater.

• If moisture such as water droplets adheres to

the outside of the camera or inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, immediately wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.

- If a foreign substance adheres to the

outside of the camera or inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, immediately remove it with a blower or a soft cloth.

• Do not leave the camera in cold conditions or in hot conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more for a long period of time.

- Doing so could cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.

- When using the camera underwater, make sure the water temperature is from

0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

• Do not use the camera at hot springs.

Before Using the Camera Underwater

Check the items below before using the camera underwater.

• Make sure that there are no foreign substances inside the battery-chamber/ memory card slot cover.

Introduction

Notes About Operating Temperature, Humidity, and Condensation

The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from −10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F). When you use the camera in cold climate regions or at high altitudes, observe the following precautions.

• Battery performance deteriorates temporarily when cold. Keep the camera and batteries warm under your clothing before use.

• Camera performance may deteriorate temporarily if it is exposed to extreme cold for an extended period. For example, the monitor may appear darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on, or residual images may be produced.

● Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation

Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor, lens, or underwater lens protector when there are sharp temperature chan ges or high humidity, such as in the environmental conditions described below. This is not a malfunction or defect.

• The camera is suddenly immersed in cold water after being in a hot place on land.

• The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building after being in the

cold outdoors.

• The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a highhumidity environment.

• The camera or underwater lens protector is wet when the underwater lens protector is attached.

● Reducing condensation

• Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, put the camera and a commercially-available desiccant in a container such as a plastic bag, and seal the container. Condensation is less likely to occur if the humidity inside the camera is reduced.

• Avoid storing the camera in places where the camera may become hot (such as places exposed to direct sunlight) before using it underwater. Taking the camera underwater while it is hot causes condensation due to sudden changes in temperature.

● Clearing the fogging

• Turn off the camera and open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid places with high temperature, high humidity, sand, or dust). To clear the fogging from the lens or monitor, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the ambient temperature. When the underwater lens protector is fogged, remove it.

• If the underwater lens protector is still fogged, try to clear the fogging by removing the underwater lens protector and using the camera for a while before attaching it again.

Introduction

Notes About Waterproof Performance of the Remote Control

The remote control is rated equivalent to JIS/IEC waterproof class 7 (IPX7), and it is confirmed that water does not seep inside when soaked underwater at a depth of 1 m (3.2 ft) for up to 30 minutes.

- The remote control cannot be used underwater.

Notes About Condensation and Waterproof Performance of the Remote Control

• Do not drop the remote control, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it against a water surface.

• Do not take the remote control underwater.

- If the remote control is dropped in water by accident, immediately pick it up

and wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.

• Do not insert a wet battery in the remote control.

- Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the remote control or your h ands

are wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the remote control and result in malfunction.

• If moisture such as water droplets or a foreign substance adheres to the outside of the remote control or the inside of the battery-chamber cover, immediately wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.

• Make sure that the battery-chamber cover is firmly closed.

- Make sure that the battery-chamber cover is in the CLOSE position.

- Make sure that no foreign substance such as lint is caught in the battery-

chamber cover. Failure to observe this precaution could cause water to seep inside the remote control.

• Do not leave the remote control in cold conditions or in hot conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more for a long period of time.

- Doing so could cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.

• Do not suddenly bring the remote control to high-humidity environment if it is exposed to extreme cold for an extended period.

- Condensation may form inside the remote control.

Inspection and Repair

• If the camera is exposed to shock, it is recommended to consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative to confirm the waterproof performance (charged service).

• If the waterproofing packing begins to deteriorate, consult your retailer or Nikonauthorized service representative. The waterproof performance of the waterproofing packing may start to deteriorate after one year.

• If water seeps inside the camera, immediately stop using it and take it to your Nikon-authorized service representative.

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.

KeyMission 170, which is equipped with a WM-BN-BM-26_A (FCC ID:2AAD3JA1D0J0 / IC ID:4634A-3152EC) Wireless LAN Module, and ML-L6 Remote Control (FCC ID:CGJ8152EB / IC ID:4634A-8152EB), have been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meet the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
