Observe the following precautions when handling
the AC adapter
Use only adapters designated for use with
this product.
Keep dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in re or electric shock.
Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug
should be removed with a dry cloth. Continued use could result in re.
Do not handle the power cable or go near
the adapter during thunderstorms. Failure
to observe this precaution could result in
electric shock.
Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or
bend the power cable, place it under
heavy objects, or expose it to heat or flame.
Should the insulation be damaged and the
wires become exposed, take it to a Nikonauthorized service representative for inspection. Failure to observe these precautions could result in re or electric shock.
Do not handle the plug or battery charger
with wet hands. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
Follow the instructions of hospital and airline personnel
This device emits radio frequency radiation
that could interfere with medical or navigational equipment. Do not use this device in
a hospital or on board an airplane without
rst obtaining the permission of hospital or
airline staff.
Use appropriate cables
When connecting cables to the input and
output jacks, use only the cables provided
or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to maintain compliance with product regulations.
Handle moving parts with care
Be careful that your ngers or other objects
are not pinched by the lens cover or other
moving parts.
CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs supplied with this device
should not be played back on audio CD
equipment. Playing CD-ROMs on an audio
CD player could cause hearing loss or damage the equipment.
Observe caution when operating the flash
Using the flash close to your subject’s eyes
could cause temporary visual impairment.
Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should
be no less than one meter (39 in.) from the
subject.
Do not fire the flash while it is touching a person
or object
Such use can result in the person being
burned, and/or their clothes igniting from
the heat of the flash.

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A.
U.S.A. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation of the device is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Products that contain a radio transmitter are labeled with FCC ID and may also carry the FCC
logo.
COOLPIX S6
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.
iv
• 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.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
The available scientic 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 to 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 ndings have not been conrmed by ad-
ditional research. Digital Camera (COOLPIX S6)
has been tested and found to comply with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement
C to OET65. The maximum SAR levels tested for
Digital Camera (COOLPIX S6) has been show to
be 0.094 W/kg at Body.
This device should not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
CAUTIONS
Modications
The FCC requires the user to be notied that any
changes or modications made to this device
that are not expressly approved by Nikon Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Notice for Customers in Canada
CAUTION
This class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Interface Cables
Use the interface cables sold or provided by
Nikon for your equipment. Using other interface
cables may exceed the limits of Class B Part 15 of
the FCC rules.
Notice for customers in the State of California
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will
expose you to lead, a chemical known to the
State of California to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or builtin camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted les can sometimes
be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s
responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data
using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images
containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any
pictures selected for the welcome screen. Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
