Keep your camera away from small children and pets. Keep your camera and all accessories out of the reach of small children and animals. Small parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed. Moving parts and accessories may present physical dangers as well. Warning—situations that could cause injury to yourself or others Do not disassemble or attempt to repair your camera. This may result in electric shock or damage to the camera. Do not use your camera near flammable or explosive gases and liquids. This may cause a fire or explosion. Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high temperatures for an extended period of time. Prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can cause permanent damage to your camera’s internal components. Do not insert flammable materials into the camera or store these materials near the camera. This may cause a fire or electric shock. Avoid covering the camera or charger with blankets or clothes. The camera may overheat, which may distort the camera or cause a fire. Do not handle your camera with wet hands. This may result in electric shock. If liquid or foreign objects enter your camera, immediately disconnect all power sources, such as the battery or charger, and then contact a Samsung service center. Prevent damage to subjects’ eyesight. Do not use the flash in close proximity (closer than 1 m/3 ft) to people or animals. If you use the flash too close to your subject’s eyes, this can cause temporary or permanent eyesight damage. 1 Health and safety information Comply with any regulations that restrict the use of a camera in a certain area. • Avoid interference with other electronic devices. • Turn off the camera when in an aircraft. Your camera can cause interference with aircraft equipment. Follow all airline regulations and turn off your camera when directed by airline personnel. • Turn off the camera near medical equipment. Your camera can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel. Caution—situations that could cause damage to your camera or other equipment Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage to your camera. Use only authentic, manufacturer-recommended, Lithium-ion replacement batteries. Do not damage or heat the battery. Inauthentic, damaged, or heated batteries may cause a fire or personal injury. Avoid interference with pacemakers. Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between this camera and all pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by the manufacturer and the independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you have any reason to suspect that your camera is interfering with a pacemaker or other medical device, turn off the camera immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance. Use only Samsung-approved batteries, chargers, cables and accessories. • Using unauthorized batteries, chargers, cables or accessories can cause batteries to explode, damage your camera, or cause injury. • Samsung is not responsible for damages or injuries caused by unauthorized batteries, chargers, cables or accessories. 2 Health and safety information Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Misusing the battery may cause a fire or electric shock. Do not force the camera’s parts or apply pressure to the camera. This may cause your camera to malfunction. Do not touch the flash while it fires. The flash is very hot when fired and may burn your skin. When you use AC charger, turn off the camera before you disconnect the power to the AC charger. Failing to do so may result in fire or electric shock. Exercise caution when you connect cables or adapters and install batteries and memory cards. If you force the connectors, improperly connect cables, or improperly install batteries and memory cards, you can damage ports, connectors, and accessories.
