Observe proper precautions when han-
dling batteries
Batteries may leak or explode if improp-
erly handled. Observe the following
precautions when handling batteries for
use in this product:
• Before replacing the battery, turn the
product off. If you are using an AC
adapter, be sure it is unplugged.
• Use only rechargeable Nikon EN-EL8
lithium-ion batteries (supplied). Charge
the battery either by inserting it in the
camera and connecting the supplied AC
adapter, or by inserting it in a MH-62
battery charger (available separately).
• When inserting the battery, do not at-
tempt to insert it upside down or back-
wards.
• Do not short or disassemble batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to fl ame or to
excessive heat.
• 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.
• 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.
Handle moving parts with care
Care should be taken to prevent fi ngers
or other objects from being pinched in
the sliding lens cover or other moving
parts.
CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs supplied with this device
should not be played back on audio CD
equipment. 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.
Do not fi re the fl ash while it is touching
a person or object
Such use can result in the person being
burned, and
/ or their clothes igniting
from the heat of the fl ash.
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.
