Canon EOS-1D Mark IV - Manual (Page 267)

If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do
not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause
electrical shock
Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens
Doing so may damage your vision
Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally
choke the child.
Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places This is to prevent fire and
electrical shock
Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed
Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the plane’s
instruments or the hospital’s medical equipment.
To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below;
- Always insert the power plug all the way in
- Do not handle a power plug with wet hands.
- When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord
- Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord
Also do not twist or tie the cords.
- Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet
- Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged
Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around
the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet
may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage

equipment may become hot and cause skin bums
> Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause
injury Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens

promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery This is to prevent fire and
electrical shock
