SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Before using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety
precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
• The safety precautions noted as follows are intended to instruct you in the safe and
correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to
yourself, other persons and equipment.
• The term “equipment” refers primarily to the camera and its power supply accessories.
WARNINGS
• Do not aim the camera or detached lens only directly into the sun or at other intense light
sources that could injure your eyesight.
• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the
camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the
neck strap around a child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.
• Be particularly careful to keep the lithium battery CR2025 used in the camera out of the
reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows the battery.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment. Disassembly or
alteration may result in high-voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and
repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by your camera
distributor or Canon Customer Support.
• To avoid the risk of high-voltage electrical shock, do not touch internal portions of the
equipment that become exposed as a result of damage. Please take the first opportunity
to consult your camera distributor or Canon Customer Support immediately.
• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it should emit smoke or noxious fumes.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Set the camera’s main switch to the
OFF position and remove the camera battery or unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet immediately. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer
Support.
• Stop operating the equipment if it is dropped or the casing is damaged. Failure to do so
may result in fire or electrical shock. Set the camera’s main switch to the OFF position
and remove the camera battery or unplug the power cord immediately. Please consult
your camera distributor or the closest Canon Customer Support.
• Prevent the equipment from immersion in, water or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to
enter the interior. The camera is not waterproof. If the exterior contacts with liquids or salt
air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. If water or other foreign substances enter the
interior, immediately set the camera’s main switch to the OFF position and remove the
camera battery or unplug the power cord immediately. Continued use of the equipment
may result in fire or electrical shock. Please consult your camera distributor or the closest
Canon Customer Support.
• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other organic solvent
substances to clean or maintain the equipment.
• Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Any of these actions
may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock. Replace a
broken or damaged power cord.
7
• Do not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead
to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the rigid portion of
the plug. Pulling the cord may damage or expose the wire and short-circuit, fires or
electrical shocks.
• Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to
overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards. Use only
the recommended power accessories.
• Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or
leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. Use only recommended
batteries and accessories.
• Use only Ni-MH Charger NC-E2 to charge the NP-E3. Use of chargers not expressly
recommended may result in overheating, distortion, fire or electrical shock.
• Do not place the batteries near heat or in water. Such exposure may damage the
batteries and lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or
serious injury.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter, or apply heat to the batteries. There is serious risk
of injury due to an explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body, including
the eyes and mouth, or clothing, that comes into contact with the inner contents of a
battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water and
seek medical assistance.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the
casings. This could lead to leakage and injury.
• Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metal, such as key holders. This could lead
to overheating, burns and other injuries. Use the supplied protective cover to transport or
store the battery.
• Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent
direct contact with other objects. Contact with the metallic components of other materials
in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions. Discard batteries in specialized waste
facilities if available in your area.
• Disconnect Ni-MH Charger NC-E2 from electrical outlet after recharging and when the
camera is not in use to avoid fires and other hazards.
• The camera terminal of the DC Coupler Kit DCK-E1 is designed for exclusive use with the
EOS-1D. Do not use it with other products or batteries. There is a risk of fire and other
hazards.
IMPORTANT
• Do not remove the CF card from the camera while the CF card access lamp is blinking. A
blinking access lamp indicates that data on the CF card is being written or read. Remov-
ing the card at such a time will destroy the data.
• When connecting the camera to a personal computer, do not use any interface cable
other than the one provided with the camera. Using the wrong cable may result in
malfunction.
