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.

-- 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/TV technician for help.

with ferrite cores when connecting digital camera to computer and clip-on ferrite core mounted over the user provided modular cable in accordance with instruction herein. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment could void the user’s authority to operate.

Precautions

USE & LOCATION

• TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your Digital Camera and power supply should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Do not connect the power supply or operate your Digital Camera if it gets wet. Your Digital Camera has been designed for outdoor use, however it is not designed to sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your Digital Camera. Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Unplug your Digital Camera from the power supply and have it serviced.

• DO NOT AIM YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA AT THE SUN OR OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS.

• DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA TO EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as, in direct sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your Digital Camera.

• AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form inside the unit.

• DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA OR THE POWER SUPPLY TURNED ON WHEN NOT

Precautions for Compact Modem Card

1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the back side of this

equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the Telephone Company.

Guarantee's Name : FUJITSU MEDIA DEVICES LIMITED Serial number : The date of manufacture is printed on the side of the card.

2. USOC Jack, RJ11C is suited to this equipment.

3. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment.

This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See installation instructions for details.

4. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices, which may be connected to the

telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local Telephone Company.

5. If the terminal equipment PV-CFM10 causes harm to the telephone network, the

Telephone Company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a compliant with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

6. The Telephone Company may make changes in it's facilities, equipment, operations or

procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the Telephone Company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

7. If trouble is experienced with this equipment PV-CFM10 for repair or warranty

8. This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the

Telephone Company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for Information.)

9. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to

use a computer or other electric device, including fax machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual (refer to page 76).

10.According to the FCC's electrical safety advisory, we recommend that you may install

an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected. Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically lighting transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC power sources and that this is a major nationwide problem.

Notes for Modem Communication

• Depending on the area, the line situation may be poor making communication impossible.

• It is not possible to call from an extension line. (However, it is possible to call from an extension line to an outside line. In this case, it may be impossible to make a normal call. If you cannot call normally, set the PC modem not to detect dial tone from the PC modem settings. To change the PC modem settings, refer to the PC modem operating instructions.) Also, when you call from an extension line to an outside line, please enter the extension transmit number to the settings of this application beforehand.

• When you communicate with the Camera using this application, it is recommended to use a direct outside line as much as possible.

• A multi-line phone that requires line number selection before calling cannot be used.

• While long distance calls usually require a "1" before the area code. With Windows, the "1" is added automatically, so please do not enter "1" before the number. (adding "1" may result in a wrong number.)

• It may not possible to call normally when the application for modem use is already running. In this case, exit the application and try to place the call again.

• Use this application to communicate with the Camera only.

• When you communicate with the Camera using this application, depending on the line situation, failure may occur during communication. In this case, please exit the communication and try again later.

• When you transfer Fine or Super Fine mode images, it may take long time, depending on the line situation. In this case, please exit the communication and try again later.

• If you are using a phone line with call waiting, and use this application to communicate with the Camera, incoming calls may cause disconnection during communication. In this case, please try again later.

• It is recommended that an AC Adaptor (optional) be used for communicating with the Camera using this application. If a battery is used, it may become depleted during communication.

• Insert the modular cable securely into the modular box until it clicks.

• Even when the cable is correctly connected, the connections inside the box may not have a good contact. If, even though there is no dial tone, the application dials, but connection with the Camera cannot be made, the cable in the box may loose contact. In this case, while firmly pressing the cable deep into the box, try calling again.

• It is not possible to communicate with the Camera with this application using a answering phone or voice mail line.

• If your PC modem has an answering machine function and you use this application, set the call capacity on the answering machine to at least 5.

For assistance, call 1-800-272-7033.
