These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
7
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Warning: A shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet
FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to radio and
television reception. Use only a shielded cable to connect I/O devices
to this equipment. Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer
may void your warranty and service
agreement.

Precautions
General precautions
• Do not try to disassemble the product yourself, which may
damage the product or cause electric shock.
• Keep the camera away from children and animals to prevent
them from swallowing the batteries or small accessories.
• Stop using the camera if any kind of liquid or foreign object
enters it. If this happens, power off the camera and contact
your dealer for help.
• Do not operate the camera with wet hands: this may cause
electric shock.
• The camera may be damaged in a high-temperature
environment. This camera is designed for use in a temperature
range of between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 104°F).
• Do not use or store the product in a dusty, dirty or sandy place
or in an area that is close to air-conditioning or heaters.
• It is normal that the temperature of the camera body rises if the
camera is in operation for a long period of time.
• Do not open the battery cover whilst an image is being
recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current
image impossible, but it may also corrupt other image data
already stored.
• Before using this camera for important occasions (such as
weddings or overseas trips), be sure to test it in order to ensure
proper operation.
10
Power Supply
• Be sure to use the type of battery or battery charger that is
suitable for this camera. Using any other type of battery or
battery charger may damage the equipment and render the
guarantee void.
• Make sure the batteries are placed in the correct position.
Error in the orientation of batteries may damage this product
and result in fire.
• Remove the batteries to avoid leakage of battery fluid when the
camera is not to be used for a long period of time.
• Remove a dropped or damaged battery immediately to avoid
leakage of battery fluid or abnormal expansion.
• This camera uses either a lithium battery or 2 AA batteries. We
recommend the use of a lithium battery for a longer operating
time.
