FCC RF 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

FCC RF Exposure Statement
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 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 findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. Wireless LAN
Module (GC-131) 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. Please refer to the SAR test
report that was uploaded at FCC
website.
This device should not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Notices
Outdoor use of the wireless transceiver is prohibited in France.
Symbol for Separate Collection in European Countries
This symbol indicates that
this product is to be collected separately.
The following apply only to
users in European countries:
• This product is designated for
separate collection at an appropriate collection point. Do not dispose of as household waste.
• For more information, contact the
retailer or the local authorities in
charge of waste management.

Life-Long Learning
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or
built-in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files 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 (c 109). Care should be taken to
avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.

Wireless Transfer Mode
What is Wireless Transfer Mode?
COOLPIX S50c is equipped with a wireless transfer mode, which is based on
the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. This section describes how the wireless transfer
mode works using the wireless LAN communication feature, and also
describes the configuration necessary for wireless transfer mode.
What is Wireless Transfer Mode?
Home Wireless LAN
Features of Wireless Transfer Mode
• This refers to wireless LAN networks connected via ad-hoc mode or infrastructure mode at
home or at the office.
• If Internet connection is possible from the home wireless LAN (Infrastructure mode), you
can use the COOLPIX CONNECT service. However, if the home wireless LAN uses a proxy
server to connect to the Internet, the COOLPIX CONNECT service is not available.
Shoot & Transfer
Just-taken pictures can be immediately transferred to a computer over a
wireless connection.
• Ad-hoc mode establishes a peer-to-peer (one-to-one) connection with a wireless LAN-capable device. With the
COOLPIX S50c’s wireless transfer mode, a peer-to-peer connection is established between the camera and computer.
• Infrastructure mode connects a wireless LAN-capable device to
a wireless LAN network via an access point. With the
COOLPIX S50c’s wireless transfer mode, this mode connects
the camera and computer via a wireless LAN access point.
COOLPIX CONNECT
• Pictures stored in the camera’s internal memory, or on a memory card, can
be uploaded to the COOLPIX CONNECT server via the Internet for viewing
by your family and friends by e-mail and webpage. E-mail notification can
be sent automatically to your family and friends when pictures are
uploaded to the server (Picture Mail).
• When the AC adapter is connected to charge the battery, pictures stored
in the camera’s internal memory, or on a memory card, can be automatically uploaded to the COOLPIX CONNECT server via the Internet (Picture
Bank).
PC Connection
Wireless Printing
Pictures can be printed over a wireless connection with a printer and computer connected via home wireless LAN.
The Wireless Camera Setup Utility
• To use wireless transfer mode (for configuration and transferring pictures), the Wireless
Camera Setup Utility 2.0 (Setup Utility hereafter) is necessary. Use the supplied Wireless
Camera Setup Utility/PictureProject Software CD to install the Setup Utility.
• The Setup Utility is used for configuring profiles, and must be installed to the computer
used for PC connection (c 124, 157). Also, the Setup Utility is used for renaming or deleting profiles, changing the destination folder when transferring pictures to the computer.
• See the Quick Start Guide for more information on installing the Setup Utility.
Wireless Transfer Mode
Wireless Transfer Mode
Pictures stored in the camera’s internal memory or on a memory card can be
transferred to a computer via home wireless LAN.
Ad-hoc Mode and Infrastructure Mode
Note on Screen Images
Screen images in monitor may differ from the actual display.
124
Note on Wireless LAN Configuration
For more information on wireless LAN configuration, contact the manufacturer of the wireless
LAN adapter or access point, or see other commercially available references.
