iii
• Do not immerse in or expose to water.
• Replace the terminal cover when trans-
porting the battery. Do not transport or
store with metal objects such as neck-
laces or hairpins.
• Batteries are prone to leakage when
fully discharged. To avoid damage to
the product, be sure to remove the bat-
tery when no charge remains.
• Immediately after use, or when the
product is used on battery power for
an extended period, the battery may
become hot. Before removing the bat-
tery, turn the camera off and allow the
battery to cool.
• The camera grip may become notice-
ably warm when the camera is used
with a 2CR5 (DL245) lithium battery.
This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction.
• Discontinue use immediately should you
notice any change in the battery, such as
discoloration or deformation.
Use appropriate cables
When connecting cables to the input
and output jacks, use only the cables
provided or sold by Nikon for the pur-
pose, to maintain compliance with
product regulations.
Keep out of reach of children
Particular care should be taken to pre-
vent infants from putting the batteries
or other small parts into their mouths.
Removing memory cards
Memory cards may become hot during
use. Observe due caution when remov-
ing memory cards from the camera.
CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs on which the software
and manuals are distributed should
not be played back on audio CD equip-
ment. Playing CD-ROMs on an audio
CD player could cause hearing loss or
damage the equipment.
Observe caution when operating the
fl ash
Using the fl ash close to your subject’s
eyes could cause temporary visual
impairment. Particular care should
be observed if photographing infants,
when the fl ash should be no less than
one meter (39˝) from the subject.
When using the viewfi nder
When operating the diopter adjustment
control with your eye to the viewfi nder,
care should be taken to not put your
fi nger in your eye accidentally.
Avoid contact with liquid crystal
Should the monitor break, care should
be taken to avoid injury due to broken
glass and to prevent liquid crystal from
the monitor touching the skin or enter-
ing the eyes or mouth.
