Extending battery life
■See Auto Power Off (see page 29).
■Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 14)

your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may be usable.
Limited Warranty
Kodak warrants Kodak consumer electronic products and accessories (“Products”),
excluding batteries, to be free from malfunctions and defects in both materials and
workmanship for one year from the date of purchase.
Retain the original dated sales receipt. Proof of the date of purchase will be required
with any request for warranty repair.
Limited warranty coverage
Warranty service is only available from within the country where the Products were
originally purchased. You may be required to ship Products, at your expense, to the
authorized service facility for the country where the Products were purchased.
Kodak will repair or replace Products if they fail to function properly during the
warranty period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty
service will include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement
parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a Product, Kodak will, at its option,
refund the purchase price paid for the Product provided the Product has been
returned to Kodak along with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement,
or refund of the purchase price are the sole remedies under the warranty.
58 www.kodak.com/go/support
Appendix
If replacement parts are used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured,
or may contain remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire
Product, it may be replaced with a remanufactured Product. Remanufactured
Products, parts, and materials are warranted for the remaining warranty term of the
original Product, or 90 days after the date of repair or replacement, whichever is
longer.
Limitations
This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak’s control. This warranty
does not apply when failure is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration,
modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with incompatible accessories
or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak’s
operation, maintenance, or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by
Kodak (such as adapters and cables), or claims made after the duration of this
warranty.
Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product, and
disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose. In the event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is
ineffective under the law, the duration of the implied warranty will be one year from
the purchase date or such longer period as required by law.
The option of repair, replacement, or refund is Kodak’s only obligation. Kodak will not
be responsible for any special, consequential or incidental damages resulting from the
sale, purchase, or use of this product regardless of the cause. Liability for any special,
consequential or incidental damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or
profit, downtime costs, loss of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute
equipment, facilities or services, or claims of your customers for such damages
resulting from the purchase, use, or failure of the Product), regardless of cause or for
breach of any written or implied warranty is expressly disclaimed.

Your rights
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights which vary from
state to state or by jurisdiction.
Outside the United States and Canada
In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of
this warranty may be different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to
the purchaser in writing by a Kodak company, no warranty or liability exists beyond
any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage, or loss may
be by negligence or other act.
Regulatory compliance
FCC compliance and advisory
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) reorient
Kodak EasyShare M753/M853/MD853 zoom digital

Appendix
or relocate the receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment
and the receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for additional suggestions.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Where shielded
interface cables have been provided with the product or specified additional
components or accessories elsewhere defined to be used with the installation of the
product, they must be used in order to ensure compliance with FCC regulation.
