The wireless transceiver included in this product conforms to
wireless regulations in the country of sale and is not for use in
other countries (products purchased in the EU or EFTA can be used
anywhere within the EU and EFTA). Nikon does not accept liability
for use in other countries. Users who are unsure as to the original
country of sale should consult with their local Nikon service center

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Innovation,
Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Innovation,
Science and Economic Development Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of this device.
FCC/ISED RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices
are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many
studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological
effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. This product has been tested and found to
comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF)
Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was
uploaded to FCC website.
Notices for Customers in the U.S.A.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Frequency
Interference Statement
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 and 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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician
for help.
CAUTIONS
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or
modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved
by Nikon Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

Nikon representative in your area (address provided separately).
Precautions for Use
• Do not drop the remote control, strike it against a hard object
such as a rock, or expose it to water.
• Do not insert a wet battery in the remote control. Do not pull out
the battery holder when the remote control or your hands are
wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the remote control
and result in a malfunction.
• If moisture such as water droplets or a foreign substance adheres
to the outside of the remote control or the battery holder,
immediately wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
• Make sure that the battery holder is securely inserted.
• Do not leave the remote control in cold conditions or in hot
conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more for a long period of time.
• Do not suddenly bring the remote control to high-humidity
environment if it is exposed to extreme cold for an extended
period. Condensation may form inside the remote control.
About Radio Wave Interference
If there is any radio wave interference, the response of the remote
control may be delayed.
Caring for the Product
• If moisture such as water droplets or a foreign substance adheres
to the remote control, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use alcohol, thinner or other volatile chemicals.

C About the Remote Control
The functions that you can perform using the remote control may
vary depending on the camera. See the manual of your camera for
further details.
How to Use
This section describes how to use the product with the COOPIX
Digital Camera as an example. Since operations may vary
depending on the camera, see the manual of your camera for
further details.
Pairing the Remote Control and Camera
Before using the remote control for the first time, it must be paired
with the camera.
* In this manual, “pairing” refers to the process of mutual
authentication that is performed between Bluetooth devices to
establish a connection.
• Only one camera can be paired with the remote control at a time.
When another camera is paired with the remote control, the
pairing information kept on the remote control is replaced by
that of the newly paired camera.

2 Press and hold (for at least 3 seconds) the power
button on the remote control.
• Pairing starts for the remote control and camera. While the
process is being performed, the status lamp on the remote
control flashes quickly (about every 0.5 second).
• When pairing is complete, the remote control and camera are
connected. The Z icon is displayed on the shooting screen of the
camera.
• If a pairing failure message is displayed, perform the procedure
again from step 1.
• To turn off the remote control, press the power button on the
remote control.
Connecting to a Paired Camera
If the camera has already been paired with the remote control, a
connection can be established simply by pressing the power
button on the remote control. In this case, do not press and hold
the button.
• Before establishing the connection, turn on the camera and
select Remote control in Choose connection in the network
menu.
• If the connection is not established properly, check the camera
settings and turn the remote control off and back on again.
• A camera that was previously paired with the remote control
needs to be paired again if another camera is paired with the
remote control or if the camera settings are reset.
Auto Off Function of the Remote Control
The remote control automatically turns off in the following
situations:
–When no pairing device has been detected for 1 minute
–When the wireless connection is interrupted and not restored
within 1 minute
–When another device is selected as the pairing device on the
camera
Press and hold the power button to try re-pairing or check the
pairing settings on the camera.
