Precautions on the CAM Care

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 anothers 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.
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.

Notes Regarding the Battery Pack

It is recommended to use original battery pack that is available at SAMSUNG service center.Make sure the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.To preserve battery power, keep the CAM turned off when you are not operating it.If your device is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically turn itself off to
protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
Make sure that the battery pack is attached firmly in place.The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to fully charge it.
Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.Fully discharging a Lithium Polymer battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when
fully discharged.
To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.Clean the terminal to remove foreign substance before inserting the battery pack.

Notes Regarding a Trademark

The logos regarding DivX, DivX Licensed are the trademark of DivX, Network, Inc and can be used after contracting
