Danger

QQ Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or alter the camera yourself. The high-voltage circuitry in the equipment poses significant electrical hazard.

QQ Do not attempt to disassemble, alter, or directly solder the battery.

QQ Do not put the battery in a fire, attempt to heat it, or use or leave it in a high temperature environment such as next to a fire or inside a car. Do not put it into water or the sea or allow it to get wet.

QQ Do not attempt to pierce, hit, compress, drop, or subject the battery to any other severe impact or force.

QQ Do not use a battery that is significantly damaged or deformed.

Warning

QQ Turn off the power immediately in the event of abnormalities such as smoke or unusual odors being emitted. Remove the battery as soon as possible, being careful to avoid electric shocks or burns. If you are drawing power from a household electrical outlet, be sure to unplug the power plug from the outlet. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shocks. Contact the nearest service center at your earliest convenience. Stop using the camera immediately if it is malfunctioning.

Remove the battery and memory card as soon as possible, being careful to avoid electric shocks or burns. If you are drawing power from a household electrical outlet, be sure to unplug the power plug from the outlet. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shocks. Contact the nearest service center at your earliest convenience. Stop using the camera immediately if it is malfunctioning.

QQ If the monitor is damaged, avoid any contact with the liquid crystal inside it. Follow the appropriate emergency measures below.

•SKIN: If any of the liquid crystal gets on your skin, wipe it off and rinse the affected area thoroughly with water, then wash well with soap.

•EYES: If it gets in your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice immediately.

•INGESTION: If any of the liquid crystal is ingested, rinse the mouth out thoroughly with water. Have the person drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Seek medical assistance immediately.

QQ Follow these precautions to prevent the battery from leaking, overheating, igniting, or exploding.

•Do not use a battery other than those specifically recommended for the camera.

•Do not carry or store the battery together with metal objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, coins, and hairpins.
