Observe the following precautions to ensure safe use of this unit.
Do not touch the internal components of the equipment if they become exposed as a
result of being dropped or damaged. The high-voltage circuitry in the equipment could
lead to an electric shock. Remove the battery as soon as possible, being careful to
avoid electric shocks or burns. Take the equipment to your nearest dealer or service
center if it is damaged.
Do not use the equipment in wet areas as this could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not use the equipment near flammable gases, gasoline, benzene, thinner or similar
substances to avoid the risk of explosion, fire or burns.
Do not use the equipment in locations where usage is restricted or prohibited as this
may lead to disasters or accidents.
Wipe off any dust that accumulates on the electrical plug as this may lead to fire.
Use only the specified AC adapter in household electrical outlets. Other adapters pose
the risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not use the AC adapter with
commercially available electronic transformers when traveling abroad.
Contact with fluid leaking from a battery can lead to burns. If part of your body comes
in contact with a damaged battery, rinse the area with water immediately. (Do not use
soap.)
If a battery starts to leak, remove it immediately from the equipment and wipe the
battery chamber thoroughly before replacing it with a new battery.
Plug the power cords securely into the electrical outlets. Loose cords pose a fire
hazard.
Do not allow the camera to get wet. In addition, do not operate it with wet hands. Both
pose the risk of electric shock.
Do not fire the flash at drivers of vehicles, as this may cause the driver to lose control
and result in a traffic accident.
