BEFORE YOU START
Congratulations on your purchase of a RED ONE camera. This operation guide covers cameras equipped

RED ONE Camera
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- READ BEFORE USING YOUR CAMERA -
GENERAL USE
DO NOT MODIFY OR DISMANTLE: Do not attempt to open your camera, lens or other accessory as
doing so may expose you to electric shock and serious injury. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Alteration or repairs made to the camera, lens or other accessory, except by a RED authorized service facility, will void the Limited Warranty. Users are not permitted to make design changes or otherwise modify
the operation of the camera, lenses or other accessories, without the express written approval of RED
DIGITAL CINEMA.
STORAGE: 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.
Note that storing batteries fully charged or in high temperature conditions may permanently reduce the life
of the battery. Available battery capacity may also be temporarily lessened after storage in low temperature conditions.

The 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 within this operating range, please
file a support ticket on www.RED.com/support.
MOISTURE: Avoid exposing your camera to moisture. The unit is not waterproof, so contact with water
could cause permanent damage to the unit as well as electric shock and serious injury to the user. Do not
use the camera in the rain or under other conditions with high moisture and immediately remove the power source if exposed to moisture.
AVOID SHOCK: Do not expose your camera to excessive vibration or impact. 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.
CLEANING: When cleaning your camera, remember 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.
LASER BEAMS: Avoid imaging of laser beams as they may cause damage to the sensor.
BATTERY: Lithium Ion batteries may be subject to special handling requirements pursuant to federal and
local laws. Please refer to specific shipping instructions included with your battery regarding proper transport of your battery. Do not handle your battery if it is damaged or leaking. Disposal of batteries must be in
accordance with local environmental regulations. For example, California law requires that all rechargeable
batteries must be recycled by an authorized recycle center.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE: The use of devices using radio or other communication waves
may result in the malfunction or interference with the unit and/or with audio and video signals.
