Precautions
General precautions
Do not use or store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas,
as its components may be damaged.
Do not store the product in a hot environment. High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product
warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside, which may damage the electronic circuits.
Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.
High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.
Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may
damage the internal components.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong
detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Do not open battery cover while an image is being recorded.
Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in file.
If the product or any of its accessories are not working
properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center. The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the product to be repaired.
Test for proper operation before using the camera.

Notes on the LCD Screen
Be very careful to ensure the fluid contained in the LCD screen does not escape if the screen becomes cracked or damaged. If this occurs, follow these steps:
If the fluids make contact with skin, wipe it with a clean cloth
then rinse with a large amount of water.
If the fluid makes contact with eyes, wash eyes with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and go to the hospital as soon as possible.
If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse mouth with water, then
drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Go to the hospital as soon as possible.
This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas:
- In areas subject to direct sunlight
- In areas subject to high humidity or dust
- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to temperature extremes
- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun.
