Battery Loading Procedure
7Quick Start Basics
Pass the belt through the belt attachment slots of the remote controller.
.Belt Precautions
The belt is intended for use with this product only. Do not use it for any other
purpose.
Should you notice any itching, rash, or other skin abnormality in the vicinity of the
belt, immediately stop using it.
Keep the belt away from and do not leave it in areas where it may be exposed to
heat. Heat can cause deterioration of the belt material.
Long-term contact with other items or leaving a wet belt together with other items
can cause transfer of color from the belt to the other items, or from the other items
to the belt.
If the belt becomes dirty, carefully hand wash it with tap water.
Do not swing the remote controller around by the belt.
Store the belt out of the reach of small children.
To connect the remote controller with a camera for the first time, you need to perform
the procedure below to register it.
IMPORTANT!
The remote controller can be registered on only one camera at a time.
If you register an already registered remote controller on a different camera, it will
be unregistered from the current camera and then registered on the new camera.
1. Check to make sure that both the remote controller and the camera are
turned off.
2. On the camera, hold down the [r/SLOW] button and the [POWER]
button for at least six seconds.
This will cause the [STATUS] lamp to flash amber.
3. On the remote controller, hold down the [r/SLOW] button and the [p]
button for at least six seconds.
This will cause the operation lamp to flash amber to indicate that remote
controller registration has started.

16 Appendix
Do not leave the product for long periods in a location subjected to very low
temperatures (where water freezes) or very high temperatures. In particular, avoid
leaving the product in areas exposed to strong direct sunlight, in a motor vehicle on
a hot day, etc. Any of these conditions can result in a deterioration of
splashproofing.

Before opening the battery cover, use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe all moisture
and dirt from the product.
When you open the battery cover, there may be water droplets on its inside
surface. If there are water droplets, be sure to wipe them off. Remaining water
droplets create the risk of water getting inside, and malfunction.
.Cleaning after Use
After the product becomes wet with saltwater or fresh water, make sure the battery
cover is securely closed and then wash the product using the steps below.
1. Immerse the product in fresh water.
Fill a bucket or other container with tap water or other fresh
water, and immerse the product for about 10 minutes.
Gently wipe dust, dirt, sand, and other matter from the

Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe all moisture from the product. After you
finish wiping the water from the product, leave it in a well-ventilated location in
the shade to dry thoroughly. Opening the battery cover while there are water
droplets present creates the risk of water getting inside, and malfunction.
IMPORTANT!
The temperature of the water used to wash the product should be no greater than
30°C (86°F). Never use detergent, hot water, or strongly running water to clean the
product. Doing so creates the risk of leaking and malfunction.

intense heat to dry it.
Never place the product in a washing machine to wash it.
17 Appendix
.Precautions after Use
Do not leave the product for long periods in a location subjected to very low
temperatures (where water freezes) or very high temperatures. In particular, avoid
leaving the product in areas exposed to strong direct sunlight, in a motor vehicle on
a hot day, etc. Doing so can cause loss of splashproofing.
Never use chemical agents for the purpose of cleaning, rust proofing, moisture
proofing, etc. Doing so can cause loss of splashproofing.
If the product becomes wet with seawater or river water, use the procedure under
“Cleaning after Use” to wash it off. Do not allow the product to remain wet for longer
than one hour. Doing so can cause deterioration of the exterior finish and water
resistance properties.
