•
The camera must not be exposed to water droplets or spray. Do not place any objects filled
with liquids (e.g., vases) on or next to the device.
•
Unplug the charger from the power outlet during thunderstorms or whenever it is not in
use.
Notes on the batteries
You can operate your camera with the supplied batteries.
Please note the following general instructions for handling batteries:
•
Keep batteries away from children. Seek medical attention immediately if a battery is swal-
lowed.
WARNING!
Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly.
Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent types.
•
Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in the device and on the batteries are
clean and, if necessary, clean them.
•
Always use AA type batteries.
•
Please note the polarity (+/-) when inserting the batteries.
•
Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Strong direct heat can damage batteries. Therefore, keep
the device away from strong heat sources.
•
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. If any of these areas come into con-
tact with battery acid, rinse them immediately with plenty of clean water and consult a doc-
tor as soon as possible.
•
Do not throw batteries into a fire; do not short-circuit them and do not dismantle them.
•
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire or similar!
•
If the device is not going to be used for long periods, remove the batteries.
•
Remove leaking batteries from the device immediately. Clean the contacts before inserting a
new battery. There is a risk of skin irritations from battery acid!
•
Also remove dead batteries from the device.
•
At low temperatures the capacity of the batteries can be drastically reduced due the slowing
down of the chemical reactions. When shooting in cold weather, keep a second set of bat-
teries in a warm place (e.g. trouser pocket).
