authorized service representative for
inspection.
Do not disassemble
Touching the internal parts of the
camera or AC adapter could result
in injury. Repairs should be per-
formed only by qualified techni-
cians. Should the camera or AC
adapter break open as the result of
a fall or other accident, take the

Observe caution when han-
dling the battery
The battery may leak or explode if
improperly handled. Observe the
following precautions when han-
dling the battery for use in this
product:
• Before replacing the battery, turn
the product off. If you are using
the AC adapter, be sure it is
unplugged.
• Only use a
rechargeable Nikon
EN-EL8 lithium-ion battery (supplied).
Charge the battery either by inserting
it in the camera and connecting the
supplied EH-64 AC adapter, or by
inserting it in an MH-62 battery
charger (available separately).
• When inserting the battery, do
not attempt to insert it upside
down or backwards.
• Do not short or disassemble the
battery or attempt to remove or
break the battery insulation or
casing.
• Do not expose the battery to
flame or to excessive heat.
• Do not immerse in or expose to
water.
• Replace the terminal cover when
transporting the battery. Do not
transport or store with metal
objects such as necklaces or hair-
pins.
• The battery is prone to leakage
when fully discharged. To avoid
damage to the product, be sure
to remove the battery when no
charge remains.
For Your Safety
use
• Discontinue
immediately
should you notice any change in
the battery, such as discoloration
or deformation.
• If liquid from the damaged bat-
tery comes in contact with cloth-
ing or skin, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the
AC charger
• Keep dry. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in fire or
electric shock.
• Dust on or near the metal parts of
the plug should be removed with
a dry cloth. Continued use could
result in fire.
• Do not handle the power cable or
go near the battery charger dur-
ing lightening storms. Failure to
observe
this precaution could
result in electric shock.
• Do not damage, modify, forcibly
tug or bend the power cable,
place it under heavy objects, or
expose it to heat or flame. Should
the insulation be damaged and
the wires become exposed, take it
to a Nikon-authorized service rep-
resentative for inspection. Failure
to observe
these precautions
could result in fire or electric
shock.

Notices
FCC RF Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules. These lim-
its are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful
interference in a residential installa-
tion. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guaran-
tee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following mea-
sures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experi-
enced radio/television technician
for help.

FCC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health prob-
lems are associated with using low
power wireless devices. There is no
proof, however, that these
low
power wireless devices are abso-
lutely safe. Low power wireless
devices emit low levels of radio fre-
quency energy (RF) in the micro-
wave
range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can pro-
duce health effects (by heating tis-
sue), exposure to low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any bio-
logical effects. Some studies have
suggested
that some biological
effects might occur, but such find-
ings have not been confirmed by
additional research. This digital cam-
era (the COOLPIX S7c) has been
tested and found to comply with
FCC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled equipment
and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supple-
ment C to OET65. The maximum
SAR levels tested for this digital
camera (the COOLPIX S7c) has been
shown to be 0.149 W/kg at body.
This device should not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
