[ RECYCLING LITHIUM-ION
BATTERIES
Lithium-Ion batteries
are recyclable.
You can help preserve
our environment by
returning your used
rechargeable batteries to
the collection and recycling location
nearest you.
For more information regarding recycling
of rechargeable batteries, call toll free
1-800-822-8837, or visit
http://www.call2recycle.org/
Caution: Do not handle damaged or
leaking Lithium-Ion batteries.
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.
This equipment 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 and
RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure rules.

Accessories supplied do not meet water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof
specifications.
Notes before using the camera under/near water
Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the
battery cover or memory card/connector cover. Even a small amount of
foreign matter may lead to water entering the camera.
Confirm that the sealing gasket
and its mating surfaces have not
become scratched. Even a small
scratch may lead to water
entering the camera. If the
sealing gasket or its mating
surfaces become scratched, take
the camera to an authorized
repair shop to have the sealing
gasket replaced for a fee.
If dirt or sand gets on the sealing
gasket or its mating surfaces,
wipe the area clean with a soft
cloth that will not leave behind
any fibers. Prevent the sealing gasket from becoming scratched by touching
it while charging a battery or using a cable.
Do not open/close the battery cover or memory card/connector cover with
wet or sandy hands or near water. There is a risk this will lead to sand or
water getting inside. Before opening the cover, perform the procedure
described in “Cleaning after using the camera under/near water.”
Open the battery cover or memory card/connector cover with the camera
completely dry.
Always confirm that the battery cover or memory card/connector cover has

Cleaning after using the camera under/near water
Always clean the camera with water after use
within 60 minutes, and do not open the battery
cover or memory card/connector cover before
cleaning is finished. Sand or water may get
inside places where it cannot be seen. If not
rinsed, water-proof performance will be
degraded.
Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured into a cleaning bowl for about
5 minutes. Then, gently shake the camera, press each button inside the water,
to clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the buttons.
After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to
dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry
with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded water-
proof performance.
Wipe water drops or dust off the battery cover and memory card/connector
cover with a soft, dry cloth.
After removing the camera from water, leave it with the lens-side down on a
dry cloth for a while to allow the water to drain.
If even after you have allowed water to drain, audio cannot be recorded or is
recorded at a low volume, there may still be water inside the internal
microphone (page 11). Let water drain from the camera completely before
use.
Bubbles may appear when the camera is placed under water. This is not a
malfunction.
The camera body may become discolored if it comes in contact with
sunscreen or suntan oil. In addition, the sealing gasket may deteriorate if it
comes in contact with sunscreen or suntan oil. If the camera does come in
contact with sunscreen or suntan oil, quickly wipe it clean.
Do not allow the camera to sit with salt water inside or on the surface. This
may lead to corrosion or discoloration, and degradation of water-proof
performance.
To maintain the water-proof performance, we recommend that once a year
you take the camera to your dealer, or to an authorized repair shop, to have
the sealing gasket of the battery cover or memory card/connector cover
replaced for a fee.
The surface of the monitor may dent at depths of around 10 m (33 ft.) due to
water pressure. This is not a malfunction.
