Precautions
General precautions
• Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its
components may be damaged.
• Do not store the product in a hot environment. High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product
warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside,
which may damage the electronic circuits.
• Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.
High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric
shock when exposed.
• Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may
damage the internal components.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong
detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a
slightly damp soft cloth.
• Do not open the battery cover while an image is being recorded.
Doing so will not only make storage of the current image
impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored
on file.
• If the product or any of its accessories are not working properly,
take them to your nearest qualified service center. The
personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the
product to be repaired.
• Test for proper operation before using the camera.
vi
Operating conditions
• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas:
- In areas subject to direct sunlight
- In areas subject to high humidity or dust
- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to
temperature extremes
- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun.
- In areas subject to strong vibration
Power supply
• Use only the type of battery that came with your camera. Using
any other type of battery may damage the equipment and
invalidate the warranty.
• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.
• Do not attempt to split or peel the outer casing.
• Remove the battery if the camera is not going to be used for a
long time. If the battery is left unused for more than 3 months,
you need to charge the battery before use.
vii
Notes on Waterproof Case
Waterproof Case performance
• The waterproof case performance is equivalent to IPX8
(60m/1hr).
• Underwater time limit: Do not use the waterproof case
underwater for more than 60 minutes and 60 meters to ensure
water resistance.
• The waterproof case is not dust-proof.
• The camera and other accessories are not waterproof unless
enclosed by the waterproof case.
• When using the camera in cold or humid environments or
when going underwater, use the anti-fog insert to prevent
fogging. The anti-fog insert only provides a certain degree of
prevention, results vary depending on the actual environment.
The anti-fog insert is not for long-term use, it must be replaced
regularly.
Notes before going underwater:
(Do the following actions indoors. Do not do these actions on sandy
or dusty environment or near the water’s edge.)
• Check if the area surrounding the waterproof case lock is clean,
do not allow dirt or sand or foreign objects around it.
• Ensure that the waterproof case is closed.
• Ensure that the waterproof case has no cracks or scratches. If
the waterproof case has been dropped, contact your dealer for a
replacement.
viii
Notes for general use:
• Avoid opening or closing the waterproof case near the water’s
edge (sea, lake, beach, lake, etc.). Do not open or close the
waterproof case lock with wet hands, or hands with sand or
dust.
• The accessories (batteries, etc.) used with the camera are not
water resistant, be careful in using them.
• Do not drop the waterproof case to ensure waterproof
durability.
• Do not place the waterproof case in temperatures above 40°C
or below 0°C to ensure waterproof durability.
• Do not attempt to make alterations on the waterproof case or
seal the vents yourself, doing so may damage its ability to
maintain the camera waterproof.
When using the camera
• The waterproof properties of the waterproof case apply to fresh
water and saltwater only; they do not apply to cleaning
substances, chemicals, or water from spas, etc. Any such
liquids should be wiped off immediately.
• Do not immerse the waterproof case in water at a depth greater
than 60 meters.
• Do not subject the waterproof case to highly pressurized water.
• Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60
minutes of use in water, allow the waterproof case to dry for at
least 10 minutes.
• Do not immerse in water warmer than 40°C (104°F).
• Do not open or close the waterproof case lock with wet hands.
• Do not open the waterproof case lock next to water or a pool.
• The waterproof case is not dust-proof.
• Do not bump or knock the waterproof case underwater,
otherwise the lock may open.
ix
Notes on waterproof case maintenance
• The waterproof of sealing material is replaceable for a fee. The
material should be replaced once a year to maintain its water
resistance.
After using the waterproof case
• Be sure to come ashore within 60 minutes after going
underwater, this will maintain the appearance, quality and
water resistance of the waterproof case.
• After taking pictures underwater, clean the waterproof case
with running tap water. Do not use any soapy water, mild
detergents, alcohol or similar liquids to clean the case.
• Wipe off water drops on the waterproof case with a soft
lint-free cloth (avoid fiber). Be sure to wait until the waterproof
case is completely dry before opening the waterproof case lock.
• After removing the camera from the waterproof case, soak the
waterproof case in a bucket of clean water for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, wipe the waterproof case dry with a lint-free
cloth. Place the waterproof case in a well ventilated cool place
to dry naturally (do not place under direct sunlight).
Other notes
• If water accidentally enters the camera or any problem occurs
when it is in water, please get it out of the water immediately
and take proper actions. Dry the camera and send it for repair,
if required.
• Information is subject to change without notice. Refer to the
important notes in the manual supplied with the camera.
