Precautions on the CAM Care
Please note the following precautions for use:Please keep this device in a safe place. The device contains a lens
that can be damaged by shock. Keep away from the reach of the children.
Do not place your device in a wet place. Moisture and water may cause the device to malfunction. To avoid electric shock, do not touch your device or power cable with wet hands. Do not use the flash close to another’s eyes. The flash emits a strong light that may cause damage similar to direct sunlight on one’s eyesight. Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than 3 feet from your subject. If the device is not working properly, please consult your nearest dealer or authorized Samsung service facility. Disassembling the device yourself may cause irrecoverable damage which will be difficult to repair. Clean the device with a dry, soft cloth. Use a soft cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution for removing stains. Do not use any type of solvent, especially benzene, as they may seriously damage the finish. Keep your device away from rain and saltwater. After using, clean the device. Saltwater may cause the parts to corrode.
