Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters • and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or improperly installing batteries and memory cards can damage ports, connectors, and accessories.

Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s • compartments, slots, or access points. This type of damage may not be covered by your warranty.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage

Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very • cold or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 40° C/104° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.

Prevent memory cards from making contact with • liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in your camera.

It is advisable to replace waterproof components once a year to maintain the waterproof performance.

Contact your nearest Samsung service center for the • replacement of waterproof components.

Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care

Use only Samsung-approved batteries and chargers. • Incompatible batteries and chargers can cause serious injuries or damage to your camera.

Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating • devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when overheated.

Do not open the battery cover or the USB cover in the sea, a lake or in similar underwater conditions. Do not open the battery cover or the USB cover with a wet hand either.

It may cause electric shock or camera malfunction.•

Cautions

Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly

Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can • cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, • humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components.

Before using

Check the camera before using the camera under water.

After using

Wash the camera after using the camera under water.

First, close the battery chamber cover and the

USB cover, and wash the sand, salt or other foreign matter off by submerging the camera into clean water for 2 to 3 minutes.

Waterproof management

If the foreign 2 matter is not removed by shaking the camera in the water, wash the camera directly under a strong ﬂow of water.

Open the battery compartment and the USB

compartment and look for water drops on the inside of the covers. If there are water drops on either, use a cotton swab to remove the drops before storing the camera.
