xiIntroductionThis product is controlled by the United States Export Administration Regulations, and you are required to obtain permission from the United States government if you export or re-export this product to any country to which the United States embargoes goods. The following countries were subject to embargo: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Since the target countries are subject to change, please contact the United States Department of Commerce for the latest information.Restrictions on Wireless DevicesThe 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 or Nikon-authorized service representative. This restriction applies to wireless operation only and not to any other use of the product.Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and CanadaFederal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC) Declaration of ConformityThis device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry 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/IC RF Exposure StatementThis 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. Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN Network)

8Preparing for Shooting1With the battery installed, connect the camera to an electrical outlet.If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly remove the plug adapter could damage the product.* The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in which the camera was purchased. This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the Charging AC Adapter.•The charge lamp slowly flashes green to indicate that the battery is charging.•When charging is complete, the charge lamp turns off. It takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery.•The battery cannot be charged when the charge lamp quickly flashes green, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.- The battery is damaged.2Disconnect the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical outlet and then disconnect the USB cable.Charge the BatteryUSB cable (included)Charge lampElectrical outletCharging AC Adapter
