Observe proper precautions
when handling batteries
Batteries may leak or explode if improp-
erly handled. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling a battery for use
in this product:
• Before replacing the battery, turn the
product off and make sure the power-
on lamp has gone out. If you are using
an AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.
• Use only rechargeable Nikon EN-EL5
lithium-ion batteries (supplied).
• When inserting the battery, do not
attempt to insert it upside down or
backwards.
• Do not short or disassemble batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to flame or to
excessive heat.
• Do not immerse in or expose to water.
• Replace the terminal cover when
transporting the battery. Do not trans-
port or store with metal objects such
as necklaces or hairpins.
• Batteries are prone to leakage when
fully discharged. To avoid damage to
the product, be sure to remove the
battery 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.
• Discontinue use immediately should
you notice any change in the battery,
such as discoloration or deformation.
Use appropriate cables, batter-
ies, battery chargers, and AC
adapters
Use only the cables, batteries, battery
chargers, and AC adapters provided or
sold by Nikon for the purpose, to main-
tain compliance with product regula-
tions.
Removing memory cards
Memory cards may become hot during
use. Observe due caution when removing
memory cards from the camera.
Handle moving parts with care
Be careful that your fingers or other
objects are not pinched by the lens or
other moving parts.
CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs on which the software and
manuals are distributed 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 operat-
ing the flash
Using the flash close to your subject’s
eyes could cause temporary visual impair-
ment. Particular care should be observed
if photographing infants, when the flash
should be no less than one meter (39 in.)
from the subject.
Do not fire the unit while the
flash head 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 flash’s firing.
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 entering the
eyes or mouth.
Keep dry
Do not immerse in or expose to water.
Continuing to use the product under
such circumstances may cause fire or an
electric shock.

hospital and airline personnel

tion that could interfere with medical or
