Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC) Declaration of Conformity This 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 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. COOLPIX B500, which is equipped with a LBEE5ZZ1GV-893 (FCC ID:2AAD3JA0M0P0 / IC ID:4634A-6152EC) Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

The Camera Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not touch or apply force to the lens. Keep Dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity. Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature. Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Doing so could result in loss of data or camera malfunction. Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause the image sensor to deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs. Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source or Memory Card Do not remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the memory card or internal circuitry. Notes About the Monitor • Monitors (including electronic viewfinders) are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device. • Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting. • Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth. 149 Technical Notes Caring for the Product Batteries Precautions for Use • Note that the batteries may become hot after use. • Do not use batteries beyond their recommended expiration date. • Do not turn the camera on and off repeatedly if discharged batteries are inserted in the camera. Carrying Spare Batteries We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It may be difficult to purchase batteries in certain areas. Charging Batteries If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures. Batteries are not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in the operating instructions included with the battery charger. Charging Rechargeable Batteries • Do not mix batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a different make or model. • When using EN-MH2 batteries with this camera, charge four batteries at a time using MH-73 Battery Charger. Use only MH-73 Battery Charger to charge EN-MH2 batteries. • When using MH-73 Battery Charger, only charge EN-MH2 batteries. • EN-MH1 Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries cannot be used. Notes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries • If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some charge remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely when using the batteries. This is due to the “memory effect,” in which the amount of charge the batteries can hold decreases temporarily. Use the batteries until there is no charge remaining and they will return to their normal behavior. • Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries discharge even when not being used. We recommend charging the batteries just before using them. Using the Batteries When Cold On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If exhausted batteries are used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, cold batteries may recover some of their charge. Battery Terminals Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use. Remaining Battery Charge If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the batteries have adequate charge remaining. This is a characteristic of batteries. 150 Technical Notes Caring for the Product Recycling Used Batteries Replace the batteries when they no longer hold a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
