(shock). Be careful not to drop your camera. Internal mechanisms may be damaged by severe shock. Mechanical alignment
of optical elements may be affected by excessive vibration.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE: The use of devices us-
ing radio or other communication waves may result in the malfunction or interference with the unit and/or with audio and
video signals.
Clean only using a dry cloth. When cleaning your camera, re-
member that it is not waterproof and moisture can damage
electronic circuitry. DO NOT rinse or immerse any element of
the camera, lens or other accessory, keep them dry at all times.
DO NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline cleaners,
and abrasive cleaning compounds or solvents. These substances may damage lens coatings and electronic circuitry.
Maintain sufficient ventilation - DO NOT block any ventilation
openings or obstruct cooling fan airflow.
the power cord of the AC Power Adapter. A grounding-type
plug has two blades and a third “grounding” prong. The third
prong is provided for your safety. A grounding-type plug shall
be connected to an outlet with a protective earthen connection. If the grounding-type plug does not fit into your outlet,
do not attempt to modify the plug or outlet, consult a qualified
electrician.
Protect all power cords from being pinched, walked on or
driven over by a vehicle. Replace any power cords suspected
of sustaining damage due to crushing or other forms physical
damage.

CAUTION: Refer all service and repair to
qualified RED service personnel. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, and damage to
the camera or accessories, DO NOT attempt to perform any servicing other than
any procedures that are recommended in
the operating instructions.
CAUTION: Proper camera ventilation requires a minimum 1/2” (1.25 cm) clearance between the camera ventilation
openings and external surfaces. Verify
that objects that can block the fan intake
and exhaust ports do not impede airflow.
Failure to permit adequate airflow may result in overheating of the camera, degraded operation and in extreme situations,
damage to the camera.
DO NOT operate or store near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or any other apparatus that produce heat. Store in a protected, level and ventilated place.
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, damp, severe vibration, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or local heat sources during storage. Remove any batteries from the camera before storage. Recommended storage and usage temperatures
for your camera, lenses and other accessories are:
‒Operating range: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)‒Storage range: -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F)
If there are any performance issues with your camera or accessories when operating within this temperature range, please file
a support ticket on support.red.com.
The SIDE HANDLE, SIDE SSD Module, Rear Modules and Lens
Mount are NOT HOT SWAPPABLE – meaning you cannot remove or install them while the camera is powered on. Before
