Camera Safety Warnings
1. To prevent electric shock, do not
attempt to disassemble Camera. There
are no serviceable parts inside.
2. Use supplied Power Adapter only.
3. The Power Adapter plug must
match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
4. Do not expose the Power Adapter
to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering the Power Adapter will
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Adapter
cord. Never use the cord for
unplugging the plug from the
outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
6. Handle Camera with care.
Camera could be damaged by
improper handling or storage.
7. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference
or pacemaker failure.
8. The warnings, precautions, and
instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must
be supplied by the operator.
