Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (memory cards), etc.

• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are equalized.

• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt. These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops immediately.

• Do not attach or remove a lens when there are any rain or water drops on the camera. If water enters the camera or the lens, a malfunction may occur.

• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to break or malfunction.

• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a tripod.

About the Battery and Charger

• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state or in high temperatures.

• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.

• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for the battery charger D-BC109. Do not use it with other devices.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.

• The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).

• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.

Cleaning Your Camera

• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, and benzine.

• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

For customers in Canada Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003 (B).

Pour les utilisateurs au Canada Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de Conformité

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 (B) du Canada.

This device complies with 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 the device.

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. Man y studies of low-level RF exposure s 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 K-70 has been tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontroll ed environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis en évidence aucun problème de santé associé à l’usage des appareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes cependant pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les appareils sans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie fréquence radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus), l’exposition à de faibles R F qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’a pas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreuses études ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles et n’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, mais ces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches supplémentaires. Le K-70 a été testé et jugé conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.
